This is going to also be problematic for people flying high value ships, Jump Freighters, Freighters, Orcas, Faction ships, Capital ships etc as well as pods.


What I predict to happen:



1 People will stop using expensive implants.
2 People will stop using expensive T2 mining barges in favor of low value ships.
*3 Prices of ice and ore will climb along with the value of T1 ships while the value of T2 ships will drop.
4 Plex prices will increase to cover the increase in ship costs.
5 Bounty system will be used to grief miners, haulers, mission pilots, sub+capital ship pilots using expensive ships.
6 There will be a huge increase in corp spys and AWOXing.



*Ore prices will climb due to miners quitting, downgrading to lower yeilds and bots being popped & banned. As well as freighters carrying minerals to trade hubs being blown up.




I'm sure there is many more creative things i can't think of atm.

Just to clarify - can bounties be placed one ANYONE regardless of sec status? Is the (old) bounty system which required -1.0 sec status to place a bounty now gone ? I'm at work so can't check in game - I have that 1.5Gb patch waiting for me when I get home....

Anyone yes thats correct, the only difference is the minimum bouny that can be placed 100k player, 1m corp 20m alliance or something along those lines.

hopefully ....
on the other hand good corps which are protecting their miners and frighters might become winners. So everything is ok. One vote for 'good job done CCP'
Then again ... with the bounty system you can now place bounties on entire alliances. So going through nullSec popping some ships might be a good idea .. at least better then before and hopefully the gankers are leaving highSec to the pve dwellers in search for better profit.
May the wars begin :)

Personally, I have reserved 10 billion isk to put bounties on miners, hoping to encourage gankers to have a shot at them.
How much ISK have you reserved, and for what purpose?


I have reserved exactly nothing. Just like the monocle, I have zero intention of wasting isk on this, either.

Yikes, got it up and running and found out to my dismay I could place a bounty on my own head \o/ Oops

Update:
Today I have placed 40M bounties on 60 miners mining in Kamio without a New Order mining permit.
One miner saw the light and purchased a mining permit. No doubt the success ratio will rise as miners get more familiar with this new reality.

(One miner twice thrice four five times tried to remove the bounty himself, claiming about 25k isk per try; at that pace it'll be a while before the 40M bounty is cleared.)

I see what your service does, but how does it help me exactly?
I want to distribute 10B in bounties to not-yet determined targets. Will you patrol the ice fields for me and place bounties on eligible miners, those meeting my criteria?
