In view of the recent events -mercenaries losing cloaks and later discussion- and game balance problems, I want to porpose a radical change in how mercenaries get money: Give a better way for other races get money (taxes maybe?) and allow to hire mercenary races for intelligence and 'dirty' missions against other empires, making this way the ONLY way for mercenaries to get money.

If this was already proposed/discussed/planned I´m sorry for bothering...

Thank you for the idea. Actualy it was planned long time before, its not implemented yet. Everything will be almost as you propose except the "ONLY" thing.

I think it is a good idea, it will make mercenaries more needed to work for other empires in order to survive and it will prevent their strenght growth to reach "problematic" levels.
On the other side the other races will need mercenary service, so they will gladly pay.
