would be awesome to have everyone be able to hire 5 mercs(or slaves) no matter what charisma is. (lulz, huge populated wars)
but if seriosly... i hate and love mercs, well they're fun to play with, but they're deadly annoyning too, if for example abused in combat. (hint: dual logs, bug abusing, waiting on WM for noobs to enter town to get blowed up by mercs, etc)

This is what I would really like to see. Charisma is a dead Special anyways, even with mercs and such. It would bring a shitload more of intensity into the fighting.
And if anyone could buy mercs.... at some point only the ones who can really afford them will be able to buy them.
(And this is NOT a problem. It was this wipe because of the severe caps exploitation of TC, thus gangs had shittons of endless caps. Otherwise it would not have gotten out of hand like it has).
It would certainly put everyone on equal grounds at least. You can't complain about it.
Things like "OH MY FUCKING GAWD DELETE MERCS CUZ I RAGE AND MAKE NO SOLUTION JUST RAGGGEEE CUS I GOTZ KILLED BY MERCS!!!!!" Will be easily won by the arguement "Well why don't you buy some yourself and fight them?" and "I don't have the caps" Will also be pointless as the arguement by: "Well why don't you go get some caps to buy them then?"
aForcefulThrust:
Maybe a higher character level, for overall more character HP and the introduction of more powerful armor to the players for less quick/insta deaths would make mercs more balanced
Jotisz:
Personally I don't like the idea of making slaves and mercs not to depend on charisma there are already chars with 1 st thanks to the thing that little carry weight isn't that discouraging now there would be powerbuild merc leaders with one st and ch leading a huge army of rocket guys/gals. I would rather see harsher side for low st and ch but thats go a bit off topic. Back to mercs the system will change it was said lot of times lately. As I know number of mercs will be limited.

It's not only rage and whine. There are people who simply don't want to fight with or against npcs. To them it's not enjoyable gameplay. It's the same thing as excessive sneaking 2 sessions ago or sneak bluesuit tc. It can be done but it's not fun.
