I still don't see how "Bounty Hunter" can be a viable "career" if your secutity status is lowered if you hunt and kill someone with a bounty on them in hi-sec. or low- sec ?

Perhaps a system similar to "faction warfare" that you could join... call it "Bounty Hunter" with rules that allow locating and killing without a loss in security status.

A "Bounty Hunter" group a player could join... like a militia in fation warfare, that sounds like an actual career choice.

I don't know if this has been brought up yet, there are 56 pages to dig through.

If someone lays a bounty on an alliance or corporation and they all disband will the bounty follow those players?

I recommend a system where if a bounty is placed on an alliance, and the alliance disbands then the bounty is dispersed to all members.

This could be problematic if half the members are alts, but you can only have so many alts per account and if someone recycles a toon with a bounty on it, it would be fair to have that bounty disperses among the remaining characters on the account. Just like that suicide gankers have to pay for their actions. Two birds with one stone. It's not a perfect system, but if someone's been a real bad boy they will be inundated with bounties.

It's been my experience talking with a lot of players over the years that they did not want to get into PVP because they found it intimidating. Gakners will always try to come with their A game and if they are any good they will. They find people that either can't or don't know how to fight back and they stack the odds(or that don't understand the mechanics well enough). Frankly there is an element of the player base where this is true. Now, they have the time to gather their resources and friends and then they can stalk the offender and trigger the FFA when its the most advantageous to them thus allowing them a means of fighting back. It gives them a way to get into PVP. Now if it works or not is another thing altogether.



As I said above, some players never get into PVP because they feel intimidated by it. There are a number of reasons for this. These players wind up in the ranks of the Carebears. It doesn't necessarily mean that they don't ever want to PVP. In my opinion your argument here is a little short sited.



Your correct, your pirate alt can be shot at by anyone, anywhere, at any time, but frankly how many actually do? If these changes do get more people involved in PVP (and I'm not say that it will) thats just that many more people that are available to shoot at you (and for you to shoot at) and that would make make space more dangerous. At least in my opinion it would.

That's funny, it's almost like you've got a need to see a bias and can't possibly think I'd do any carebear stuff myself.

I mean, I can't possibly be spending the majority of my time on my hisec char, in either a freighter or an orca. That would just be ludicrous. I mean, I'm a nullsec char, so I must of course be eating babies, raw, for fun.

(In case you're unable to see the sarchasm before you fall in it, you're being pretty dumb.)

Because people like you get your knickers in a twist and completely miss the point of the rest of the post. Honestly, it never fails.


Too late, you just fell in.

(Hint: I spelled it that way on purpose. Visit http://sarchasm.net/ if you're unclear on its meaning.)

I love how people like you will take any excuse possible to completely dismiss a post which isn't saying exactly what you want.

This sounds like a fantastic system.

Even though I'm probably screwed when this goes live

You guys should log in to Duality on Friday (and over the weekend) and hang out with some Super Friends and try out the bounty system!

all characters will be wearing some random costume and everybody will be flying brooms instead of spaceships

I think they've been trying to pimp the server, I hope it's enough
