As a merc player, the one thing i think that hold's me back is that i can't control areas of the galaxy, what if merc could capture colonies, and run them as slave drivers, gaining maybe 10% of the resources that would be created normally, this i believe would create a much more back and forth battling between the mercs and other races, because if i take a planet, they send a fleet and take it back, or maybe someone else comes in and takes it over, and then they get the resources, and can use them or sell them. Just a suggestion, and i don't know how it would actually play out.

Thnx for listening

I retract this thought, maybe it would be possible for a new race, but to have the mercenaries become more of a slave trader would undermind the whole philosophy behind the race. But to have a way for mercenaries become able to control the guardian planets would allow them to be able to truely win.

that's right, i mean, why shouldn't they be able to, but the weakness of the mercs would still be that they can't survive with just their colonies, they still depend on their single base for survival, this would make it interesting, because how many people get raided by mercs but aren't able to get them back because they can't find them, if mercs can control planets, then if they piss someone off, heck, go out and take over a douzen of their colonies.
