It will expire when another player makes your ship expire. Big smile

My obligatory advertisement goes here because this is a thread about the bounty system.

Bounty system is a great idea, but CCP had better consider tweaking a few things to make it a lasting feature.

Minimum bounty 10 mil.
Payout should be slightly higher than 20%, still no way for anyone to game the system.


I actually logged on a couple times this week, which was something new.
The suspect system is fun, but now it's really died out quick at the hubs. It will remain to be seen how it works down the road.

I know it was meant to make bounties less of a status symbol, but i kind of want a big one simply for epeen purposes....

Warning, serious post.

I find the bounty system pretty amusing all in all. I've picked up several bounties already for doing horrible, horrible things like undocking or being in system. I think the system will work especially well on a corporation/alliance level, but fails on a single-character level - 100K is nothing to anyone that's been playing over a month and it's a really small price to pay for the whining and crying that the average EVE player enjoys. That said, I see why it's needed - Otherwise alts in noob corps (like me!) would still be more or less untouchable.

Also, lolz at CCP saying they love the bounty system when they can't participate in it in any way shape or form, and indeed patched out the one way to put bounties on them the day after the update. :P

The new bounty system is probably the best it can be. High bounties are indeed pointless, but I don't see any other way it could be and remain non-exploitable.

can you restrict who bounties pay out to? If not they should implement this. This way alliances / corps could bounty another corp / alliance and have the bounties only pay out to certain corps / alliances of their choosing (ie. Friendly ones). This would provide incentive for pilots to go out and kill the other corp / alliance while at the same time allowing your pilots to make isk.

Making isk while pew pewing you say?

Yes.

What more could a pilot want?

Nothing.

I just found the god buff in EVE. You are welcome.
