Just a quick question that I couldn't seem to find a solid answer to;

When I activate a kill right on someone does it instantly consume the KR after that 15 minute suspect timer ends or can I keep activating it until the target is killed under this active flag?

If the ladder, the system seems broken.

The kill right is only used up when the target's ship is destroyed while the kill right is active. If they avoid death for the 15 minutes, the kill right remains on their head.

In fact the other option would be horribly broken. All you would have to do is to dock as soon as someone activates a KR on you, wait out the timer, and completely avoid retribution. (I'm not saying that the current system can't be gamed either though.)

It's only consumed if he loses a ship (or pod) as a result of the activation.

(P.S. It's "latter")

Also be aware that people with -5.0 security status or lower laugh when their kill rights are activated as they are already "kill on sight" everywhere in the game.

Latter is the word you're looking for & the system is not broken.

In fact it's working fine. I'm probably one of the few people out there that happily goes out hauling with a killright on him, just to see how long I survive under those conditions. Cool After 3 failed attempts on my poor little Hoarder over the last two weeks, I decided I had enough fun with it and started bumping people in Hek with a Reaper. Got blapped, lost killright, went to do a mission.
