Kill Rights Office

So, the Bounty Office is cool and all, but the problem with it is that it's useless other than finding out the top people for said bounties. What needs to be added is a Kill Rights Office. Somewhere where you can buy and sell kill rights. It will also help alleviate having to be line-of-sight with the target to activate them in space.

Moreover, we need to be able to see them. It would offer more PVP capabilities to players who want to do a little PVP work every now and then. Otherwise, keep the KRs dynamic as it is now, because other than that little problem, it's perfect, in my honest opinion.

If you support this, please comment. If you wish to add something, please comment, as well.

---EDIT---

To refine the need for it even more I'll explain. Right now, the Bounty System is pretty useless. Unless you and your projected target meet in a High-Sec war or in Null-Sec, you pretty much have to risk ganking them. Well, look at some of the people will bounties on them. They get those bounties from ganking other players. The Bounty System would be put to better use with a Kill Rights Office due to the fact that you then could buy the KRs on a person and then have at it as you saw fit.

Otherwise, you have to gank the ganker to get their bounty. But, in High-Sec, that's ONLY if you can beat CONCORD. Which means you have to have a really expensive ship to tank them long enough to whack the guy you ganked.

TL;DR: It would work hand-in-hand with the Bounty System currently in place. It would open it up properly for use.

---EDIT 2---

OR (the other option) expand the Bounty Office accordingly to handle Kill Rights and such. BUT, I think the KRs could use their own Office due to the Bounty Office being loaded / clustered / full-up enough with information, as it is. But, I imagine that could also be changed too.

I agree. We need to be able to see who has kill rights against them, and if they are up for sale / shared for what ever price was set.
Then be able to purchase them, and have them be active for an allotted time since Bounty Hunting only seems to work for those who live in Low Sec or Null Sec where the threat of getting concorded is not a threat. There needs to be an Option of Picking up Bounty Contracts and having the Rights to Hunt and Kill said Bounty with out getting Concorded or getting Kill Rights against yourself for trying to Complete a Bounty Issued against another player. There needs to be a fair play 24 hour duration when selecting through potential targets. People who want to bounty hunt should be able to do so with out repercussions other then said Target not Concord.

I'm glad to see support for this concept. Please, pass it around and have at it. Would like to see this come with the next update. Possibly for Summer.

The OP has been updated with new/alternate ideas for use.

+1 I thought something like this would get added in Retribution. Hopefully they'll see this and add it Smile

Yes. I do agree. I thought it would've been implemented a long while ago. We'll have to see about it now.
