But its not similar to a mwd in respect that it doesnt accelerate you 100kmto away very fast. You dont even enter/drop out of warp.... you just blink over, and that should work just the same as jumping to a cyno.
Will a targeted heavy interdictor warp disruption generators prevent its activation, or only bubbles?

I certainly hope that by fix you mean:
"The MJD will uncloak you upon jumping (end of the cycle)"
and not:
"You cannot cloak while spooling up the MJD"

Nothing is ever wrong with things making sense, even in a Sci-fi genre... otherwise the 1930 series of Flash Gordon would still be "Awesome" to this day. Get a grip, this is a discussion for feedback, hence the feedback and my personal opinion on it. Why don't you try to contribute rather than troll...

People have to be careful when activating a kill right about time and place. This is by design.

This:


At the very least the defender should have the option of having the war cost shifted onto him and have some sort of role reversal between aggressor and defender without any cool down or ceasse fire period.

The one who gets the final blow gets the bounty (and shares it with anyone in his fleet, if any). A wreck of a suspect is open to loot by anyone (so anyone of the 20 players in your example could loot legally).

Salvage drones and a noctis drone bay? And I didn't have to blow anyone for it?

INTERNET HIGH FIVE!

If your opponents are too stupid to have at least one scram handy, they deserve to be humiliated.

Yes, but what do you realistically think is going to be the chance of ever seeing someone with a killright on them at any other point than a gate? It'll either all be disposable alts which you won't see anywhere else, or it'll be idiots who for some reason turned off the protect-the-idiot switch.


Yes. So a singular person, a whole corp or a whole alliance can activate it so everyone on the gate can shoot him.

Very productive for bountyhunters.

I get your point. A large percentage of people that earn kill rights against them will be single purpose alts or low sec gate campers that go on the occasional high speed errand into high sec (and are very unlikely to get snagged).

Kill rights on their own will not revolutionize bounty hunting, although I think more people will screw up and get themselves popped than would appear evident at first blush. I can see a few of the better organized high sec groups getting the occasional kill in fast locking Tier 3 BC's against those attempting to suicide gank miners in belts or on gates going after freighters (in those situations where they need multiple volleys' to bring down their target before Concord takes them all down). Frankly, with kill rights being front loaded, I think we'll also see more people forgetting they have kill rights on them than we currently do.

But yes I think bounties will be a bigger boon to bounty hunters than kill rights are as many of those wearing the bounty will not necessarily be used to having to be careful... and a person with both a bounty AND a kill right against them had better not plan on doing anything in high sec that requires them to pause anywhere for any length ot fime.

Still, most of those claims will be targets of opportunity rather than something you can easily make a profession out of. The ability to put a bounty on a whole corp or alliance might be the saving grace in this system, as then there would be incentive for a bounty hunting corp to declare war to facilitated taking the bounties (assuming the bounty is high enough to cover the cost of the war dec and still provide a possibility for profit).

I'm kind of okay with seeing what the player base can figure out on this one for awhile, as long as further mechanics can be added (or current ones tweaked) to ensure the bounty hunter profession becomes truly viable.
