Back in the day (and perhaps now), if you had a bounty, all you did was change your ship and have a friend kill the ship. Then they share the bounty (sometimes).

Under the new system, will this still happen?

The bounty pay is now a percentage based off of what you are flying at the time. From my understanding, this makes it so that at best you come out even if you try to exploit the system.

Oh wait did I provide an intelligent answer that was helpful instead of jerking myself off in front of everyone? D:

so if someone put a 1b isk bounty on you, could you lose unfit insured battleships and come out ahead?

Thermopylae pass... that is the most romantasized battle ever.

It's true there were 300 Spartans... but there were also about 50,000 greeks P

The actual witnesses were silenced and were delicious though

reflecting back on a past life - when the toga itched and the sandles rubbed when on the march, then when in the middle of un-fertile pastures very far from Rome i had no qualms negating asking what meat was in the stew as long as it was hot, cooked and filled the belly

New bounty system will pay only 20% of total ship (POD) lost value from Bounty pool. So if you get killed in 100m ISK worth ship, killer will be paid 20m ISK from your Bounty pool, that means killing yourself with alt to claim bounties is no longer profitable.

However, CCP did not give any info how much % of bounty will be payed when you are killed by fleet. I see 2 options here:

a) 20% of ship (POD) value from Bounty pool is payed to the fleet and its split equally to them ( Example 4 man fleet, every member is
payed 5% only in that case )
b) 20% of ship (POD) value from Bounty pool is payed to every member of the fleet ( Each member will get 20% ) - this option is
exploitable ( 5 alts will claim 100% ship loss value, 6 alts will claim 120% ship value ). But i dont think CCP is so stupid to be
hornest.

All my posts are made shortly after Marihuana consumption.

Nope. They delayed the Persians just a few days in a campaign which last almost two years, that's all.

Nope, only 20% is paid out, so you would be losing isk each time. To get the 1 bil back you would need to lose 5 bil worth of bs.

You know what patch notes and dev blogs are right?

Interested as to where you get that figure, never seen an estimate over 12k. Still the defeat at thermopylaehas rather obscured the far more important victories at marathon, platea and slamis, kinda weird. Everyone loves a loser i guess.
