Tried the new bounty system on Buckingham (the test server) yesterday. Its awesome. Freighter killed with a 500mil bounty on the pilot granted a 300mil payout. Blew up a megathron with a bountied pilot and a 20mil payout.

This is going to make bounty hunting interesting.

if you randomly attack a player with a bounty in high sec (one that isn't a war target, or in any way criminally flagged), will concord still ruin your day?

Yes. Example: you can bounty miners all day long, yet you will still get concorded when you attack. But you will actually get a bounty if you manage to kill them.

Exported kill rights mean you can't be sure who comes for you when you pop the noob in a low sec mission hub though.

It was possible to have your kill rights in a watch list and know you could make that jump to Jita because they were all off line.

What if I don't have any sex at all? How will this affect me?

I wrote some true EVE stories! And no, they're not of the generic "my 0.0 alliance had lots of 0.0 fleets and took a lot of 0.0 space" sort. Check them out here:

Only if you pop their pod as well. It takes a criminal act to get kill rights. killing a ship isn't criminal in low sec. just suspect

Woo! CSM XI!

Giving anyone the ability to buy killrights is a good mechanic.
Giving anyone the ability to activate a 15 minute suspect timer on someone is not.

I still don't get why CCP thinks this is a good idea.

You could say the exact same thing if buying the killright made CONCORD instantly arrive and blow up their ship, but that doesn't mean the consequences are good for the game.
