Been over the dev blog and comments of it but haven't seen it spelled out clearly ...

how exactly do you engage someone that has a bounty on them in high sec? Just pew pew him or will concord still intervene?

So people with bounties on them are only attackable in low and null .. unless they have a kill right?

No, you can attack them anywhere. You'll just get concorded in HS if they're not:

a) a global target (suspect, criminal, outlaw)

b) a war target

c) a corpmate

Or if there of low enough standings to allow it.

All automated intel should be removed from the game including Instant local/jumps/kills/cynos for all systems/regions.Eve should report nothing like this to the client/3rd party software.Intel should not be force fed to players. Player skill and iniative should be the sources of intel.

ISK trading player hands is not a ISK sink.

All automated intel should be removed from the game including Instant local/jumps/kills/cynos for all systems/regions.Eve should report nothing like this to the client/3rd party software.Intel should not be force fed to players. Player skill and iniative should be the sources of intel.

Payout is now based on percentage of ship and loot value destroyed. They would have to blow up approx 10,000,000,000 ISK worth of me to get the full bounty back.

That will take quite awhile tbh.

You call them out in local then a giant space flag hits a point in space between you two.

Then the bunty hunting sesshun will begin.

I wouldn't call that bounty *hunting* system because it doesn't worth hunting.

tl;dr for "bounty hunting" patch notes: it didn't change anything except you'll get a small amount of ISK for popped ships and pods unless you are lucky to pop someone really evil and stupid with 4b implants, in officer fit ship and a billion(s) bounty on them.

What I want to know is how do you activate a Suspect flag on the target of a Kill Right? Does shooting someone you have a Kill Right to activate the Suspect flag, or does the Kill Right give you a menu option to activate the Suspect Flag so that you can kill them without being Concorded?

Because thats the way it should have been - the way people expected it to be. The current change is nothing but a minor incremental little tweak that does nothing to really boost pvp -- after all in low/null people dont need a reason to shoot at folk while in empire you are still inhibited by concord and sec status. So basically bounty hunting boils down to a mechanism to promote suicide ganking. Its a shame since it could have been so much more, e.g. purchasable aggro rights akin to individual war decs between individual players similar to the war decs that exist between corporations. Kinda reminds me of incursions in how they just dont live up to their potential.
