Sorry if this is mentioned in any of the linked threads (haven't read them), but I see a couple of issues - any comments on how they could be resolved?

1. Your distance from the target - do you get to see how far away they are before accepting the bounty, i.e. can you choose bounties in your region? (I'm not talking about where they are - that's for the locator agent)
It would suck to find out your target is 60 jumps away for a 15K bounty.Sad
Ris Dnalor's solution could partially solve this, as they'd have to be nearby for you to have kill-rights in the first place.

2. spamming of bounties on anyone you see - what if a bored large nullsec alliance decided to visit Jita and place bounties on everyone in local - would certainly liven up high-sec. (or everyone in an incursion - bwahahahaPirate)

3. Don't know how the existing system works:
- are you notified if you have a bounty placed on your head?
- does it only apply to podding; should there be a difference between destroying their ship as opposed to pod-killing them?

This signature intentionally left blank for you to fill in at your leisure.

Thank you, you poor sap, you must've missed the sarcasm.

good points, as to 1 there should definitely be a rough distance given before accepting the target,
2 is adressed by the fact that only people with neg sec status can have bounties placed. and due to the fact that this system would be much more likely to give results, maybe lower the sec status to -2 or -3 (i think its -1 now)
3 not sure if you get a notification, but you'll see it in your window, also a notification would be easy to do, and yes i think you should have to pod the target, i want him dead! not his ship

Not bothering to read all of this, but here's my suggestion:

We having a standings system. We should be able to use it in regards to bounties. Place bounty - collectible by people of X standing or higher.

Bounties should also be placeable on only specific classes of ships (or even specific hulls.) For example, place bounty on player - bounty is for x, y, z types of ship - only those of x standings or greater may collect.

Done and done. As far as NPC bounties go ... who gives a ****? Rats < Players.

Whether or not you win the game matters not.  It's if you bought it.

I think a solution would be if CONCORD doesn't give a **** if a +5.0 player pods a -5.0 player in a 1.0 sec system. Imagine it: A LOT OF FREE PODS TO KILL!
