As a returning player to EVE who's been away for a couple years, the original post is full of win. Now Industrialists that want no part of getting their hands dirty themselves, can use that money to have others get back at their enemies for them.

This can only be a good thing for EVE.

This seems legit.

I thought it might take months to receive such a prestigious endorsement. I'd like to thank the entire CCP team for implementing the tools to develop such a third-party service.

Special thanks to you, CCP Soundwave.


but IIIIIII wanted to make a corp like this!Big smile


Maybe you should put a bounty on him then :P

would you idiots stop posting losses where your killrights were used in lowsec as "Revenge"

"well we weren't going to kill that carrier we tackled but then we got killrights for it so ok"


Idiot = someone who doesn't do the same things I do Roll

Doesn't matter if they would have been killed anyway - guess just the notification that the guy was killed satisfies the feeling of revenge. And maybe the killright increased the effort to hunt that guy, who knows?

My first victory was when a Friend was can tipped. I was coming to say hello to her in a 100mn Hurricane when a Tristan was Harassing her. Damn it that's my my job! Guy called me a coward for running off to take off the MWD.

I came back.

Yes it was sweet.


Congrats you killed a frig in a battlecruiser.

Honestly.....are you freaking kidding me? Think about the post that you just made. Why do you even play Eve? With this attitude exploitation......it is a wonder that Eve can even exist. You are killing the game by actions like this above. That is not playing a game.....the actions that you did above specifically hurt Eve's future.

Calm down spoo, its just destiny talking absolute crap, just like he normally does. Note the repeated refusals to post the proof despite him demanding the OP should give proof of what he did.

LOL yes! Thank you for that reality slap to the face. I needed that! Big smile I'm not sure what exactly got me riled up so bad. I guess the exploitation factor. This game is such a great game. It is different than ANY game I have ever played. I do hate when someone deliberately tries to sabotage it with what they suggested. Thank you again! :)

I just like the fact I posted the proof and curiously, destiny hasn't been seen on this thread since.

I think the icing on the cake is the ability to give away or sell your kill-rights to either individuals, corporations, alliances or everyone out there in the Eve Universe.

A lot of players have alts on Eve, including PvP characters and Miners/Industrialists. Sometimes I enjoy sitting back and mining out there on my own with my industrial alts because it is the part of the game I prefer, profiteering from the markets by buying cheap and selling at higher prices, or mining and selling minerals and so forth.

Much like there are regular miners to be seen in certain systems, there are regular suicide gankers who enjoy attacking industrialists for various reasons. Not being able to do anything on your mining character gets frustrating. But if you have pvp alts, you now have the ability to sell the kill rights to that alt and can use it to your advantage. Following that ganker around, watching his every move like a stalker. And one day, when that ganker just so happens to be in some nice tech II ship worth a cent, you have the ability to attack that character by activating kill rights and not be bothered by concord for it.

Putting a bounty on a character as well as giving away your kill rights at no cost to 'everyone' is also really cool, because now that person is a wanted pilot where all those around in high-sec can get a free kill with no retaliation from concord and make some ISK for it.

Now who's the carebear docking in station waiting out the timers in high sec?

@CCP Alice (I think that's the right dev)...


Instead of a 'dislike' button, allow us to set bounties on bad posts.

Thanks! :)


That could lead to some interesting situations. Big smile


I'll take this as confirmation that the devs are officially considering this. You might as well implement it - it's not like people who don't like what you have to say aren't placing bounties on people already. This happened to me earlier - might as well just make it a button push in the forums so they don't have to switch to the client.

i am stupid, i dont understand the transferable killrights thingy Sad

if someone is orange to say they have a killright available do you just shoot them? Do you have to contact the owner of the killright to buy it?

anyone give me a step by step rundown?

You can't see available killrights from the overview (at least not yet). If someone is flashing yellow to you, they are a suspect and you can shoot. It might or might not have anything to do with a kill right.

To check if a player has a killright available, click on their ship on overview. If they have a killright available, there will be a target symbol in the selected item window. Click that and select "activate killright". The target will now flash yellow and you can shoot.

AFAIK it works like this.

If they have a kill right available there will be a little button marked with a plus sign in the bottom right of the part of the overview where all the buttons for orbiting/warping etc are, click that and you get a list of available killrights and the price of each one (if it has one). Pick a killright, pay the isk and fire away.
