Was looking at the inferno page and saw the Mercenary marketplace. I then wondered if the new Mercenary marketplace was also an update to the bounty system, which tbh, could do with an update?

Also is the mercenary marketplace going to tie into Dust 514?

No. It lets you hire allies when you are decced.

bounty hunting overhaul is probably in the works. according to "factional warfare overhaul" blog, under "LP for kills":
"...
[Given LP] = ([Market value of target ship] - [Max. Insurance market value] + [Fitted mods, rigs and subsystem market value] + [Transported items market value]) / 10000
..."
basically, bounties can be paid according to destroyed value.

After these features are released, they will be "fixed" in every patch after that, then disappear into a wormhole never to be thought of again until another Incarna expansion is released and we all cry and CCP's profits drop.

Please tell me this will be the same point at which you disappear in to your own "wormhole" never to be heard from again?

I think CCP is just taking things one step at a time. Now that they have re-vamped crimewatch, implemented destroyed ship values, and programed a Mercenary Marketplace I bet the technical hurdles are pretty much gone. My guess is that they want to get any bugs and gameplay issues worked out of these new features before they build anything else with them. Additionally, revamping the bounty system would require some serious Dev brainpower to ensure it is implemented in the best possible way.
