Due to the ever increasing price of mercs having them die becomes a really big set back. the price of getting my first 4 black mercs was 2 k, then second set cost me 5k, i wipe again it will cost 10K. And these are for shitty mercs. If i die and my mercs kill everything else, why are they now dead?. Mercs in my base survive me dying. I suggest if mercs have a radio you can send them a signal by talking on their frequency and they come join your party after you respawn.

God dammit Roacher stop beating me to my ideas! GAWD!

Ooooo and while we're talking about radios make it if they have radio on same channel you can give them orders without having to see them .

well if i were a mercenary, and my client is dead, i would say "meh..." and go find another client. (even with replication technology.)

in fact,

-hello mr. mercenary. do you remember me?
-yes. you hired me 2 days ago, then you died to deathclaws.
-yeah. bummer. i wanna hire you again.
-wut?! no way!
-hey why not?
-well, you died. i mean, DEAD. i barely saved my ass. i'm not going even an inch away with you!
-but... you're a mercenary, a hired muscle. "you" were supposed to guard me!
-well then i couldn't. i failed. i don't wanna embarrass you again. i have no honor etc.
-what, you're a samurai now?
-yeah, you have a problem with that?
-[sigh] no. can i hire you now?
-hell no!

you get my drift? (ok the dialog might a bit out of topic, but my first arguement still stays. =))

mercs should be hired until: a) a certain amount of time expires, and/or b) client dies. (not sure if it should be "and" or "or")

I'm going to smack you and your going to say thank you...  But I guess it'll have to wait till I meet you ingame.

As for the A) suggestion, thats bullshit, if you look at the dialogue when u hire a mercs she/he says: Feed him twice a day and don't let him on the couch or some bullshit....  When you buy these mercenaries its like buying a slave... only a really badass slave.

B) suggestion, dude.. if you have the radio frequency a radio and the same goes for your merc, and right after his client dies and starts talking on the radio to you are you really NOT going to listen to what he says? He just came back from the fucking DEAD!  I'd be scared shitless thinking he's a demon and do whatever he says.  Ofc if mercs knew about replication technology and they survived they'd more than likely take the stuff and go back to some regroup point e.g. your tent.

[kraskish]

This thread is a joke right?

[Cokomantis]

well i didn't hire a merc yet, so i don't know anything about "feed them twice a day and they're ok!".

i withdraw. (and i have to agree on that "i'd be scared shitless!" part. =))

The mercs that weren't there when you died still belong to you, my mercs didn't die in the encounter, why should they be dead?

One: Because they shouldn't....

When you die you lose like 5 k caps worth of shit, when i die i lose like 75k and then have to pay 90k to get back to what i was at.

Slaves are cheaper. They can't all use Heavy weapons, but some can throw plasma grenades
