This seems legit.

Not exactly ... since the pirate has to buy a new ship he keeps the cash flowing into your pocket and thereby finance his own bounty :) THAT is the true joke of it all :)


You mean to tell me you think pirates can't be industrials themselves?

The player should be explicitly told that they received a bounty for their post. The notification should display the post, and the post on the forums should show the bounty placed on that player for that particular post. Consequences for bad posts.

As a pirate living in lowsec, I feel no less safe than ever before. This patch has given me plenty, but no level of security has been taken away. I have been given more opportunities to kill within my home, lowsec. I have been given more opportunities to use more ships in more places. AND this update is going to convince PVP noobs to chase after me for my bounty and then hand me free killmails. So, miner, I'm not really sure what you're so happy about.

I'm still going to gank your Hulk.

Nub, Miners only fly Ventures now. Keep up with the times.

I for one am happy the new system works. Sure it may not have changed a whole lot for some people(low-sec dwellers) but at least it's getting a positive response. This is one of those things that could potentially lower the bar for new players, which we all know can sometimes be daunting.

Also, with me now engaged in WH life I can't really be bothered to go hunt down all those gate camping people that GF'd me 10 to 1 in K-Space. So now I get to sell all my old killrights and let someone else have the thrill of the pew.

The system is generating PvP(something I thought all low/null pilots said needs to be more of a focus with less safety and carebearing) where it normally wouldn't have been. Now instead of killrights running up due to timers, they can just be passed off to someone else.

ITT: New player who doesn't understand how bounties work. Have fun getting ganked by other gankers Pirate


I know how the new bounties work, and i'm not worried at all. Should i be scared of undocking? Why? Probably you would, but that's is a carebear way of thinking that i won't follow.

Keep manufacturing junk, fighting rocks or whatever you do and have a nice day.


And who do you think makes all the modules, ammo, ships, ect, that you use? And mines the minerals to make them all? Carebears.... I don't think you can gank anybody without using something that an Indy/Miner has, in one way or another, made.

This, just imagine it if you will, thousands of bitter vets actually logging in to make money because they went broke putting bounties on many a forum idiot's head.

Revenge is a big market in New Eden. There is room for many such services filling many different roles. I only serve a fraction of the total market for anonymous bounties. I do hope to be the best at what I do, though.

That is definetly a Something Awful Dot Com resident talking.

However I agree. Ideally there should be a bit at the bottom saying:

All's fair and good for the people who want to be spaceship superheroes, but how about those of us who just want to make the universe burn?

That ORE mining frigate is one thing, but it probably won't be long until ALL mining/indy bearboats get warp core strength as a role bonus.
Once that happens, the next step is to give free warp core strength to anyone with a +5 sec status.

Well, here's to hoping that the new aggression mechanics have a few loopholes for us to exploit in the name of SCIENCE!

Throw a HIC into your gang. Or you can run a long and short point at once, or even run a +3 strength faction scram.

Counterpoint: CCP removed the +2 Warp strength bonus of the Skiff.

Maybe we can get a decent fight now, low sec is really dead and could use some fresh meat trying to get rich quick from the bounty hunting system...... I hope this works because eve is getting really boring on the piracy side of things.

Instead of sitting and crying about it fight back, with whatever kind of weapons you can use, and you earn if not respect at least a reputation as a guy not to mess with unless you think you can deal with the consequences.

Stuff like this is what the kill right changes were supposed to encourage and I'm happy it actually seems to be working out as planned.



True enuff but other than learning how to PVP and hoping you get lucky there was no way for people with more money than skills to exact revenge. While there may be exploitable flaws, at least now you don't have to rely on your own personal ability to deliver firepower on your target, a fat wallet and the willingness to use it now serve as a legitimate equalizer
