Well......he could bribe one of your corpies (via Chribba, obviously) to go on an AWOXING spree for a billion ISK.

Or just dump a billion ISK into a bounty pool (again, via Chribba) and pay out, say, 50-100 million ISK per kill to anybody depending on the ship/pod destroyed.

But just better to hire Kane, or Break-A-Wish (when they aren't on vacation) if you really want to spend that sort of money.

Faster results, too.


Personally I use the Mittani because he is just as reliable as Chribba but with lower fees.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

So - this thread is about someone losing their ship and then losing one billion isk straight afterward.

Throwing away one billion isk is revenge now ??? Really ???

To be honest, I don't think he is 'mad bro'. Seems remarkably calm for someone in his situation coming into C&P without realizing what he is doing.

Hopefully he has learnt something, and after all trying to get some form of revenge (even though bounty's don't work), is pretty much Eve done right.

For a 3 month player, I usually expect tears and forum rage.

BTW... awesome gif.

Didn't see a straight up answer to your question. Yes, bounties are broken. They are only useful for making carebears cry which is hardly a legitimate game function. You bounty a bunch of guys in lowsec, but if someone wanted to shoot them, they'd shoot them regardless of the bounty. They are in lowsec because they want people to shoot. You're not hurting them even if by some chance the bounty was a draw.

Read this thread to get an idea of just how broken they are:

Unless someone comes up with a way to make "bounty hunting" a thing, bounties should be removed from the game. You wasted your isk.

Or you could have spent that billion hiring Kane and watching them suffer, suffer as no-one has suffered before..:)

Much better than wasting it on a bounty.


Don't know who Kane is otherwise I may have done so.

For a high stakes PvP game, people really don't seem that into the PvP...



Kane was wrong. You do get this game.

Flying through lowsec in a hauler without a scout is what got you killed. Any market transactions were coincidental. But by all means, please spend as much isk as you want to make you feel better about your mistake. Now everyone knows what a juicy target you are.

EDIT: For some clarification, he took a shortcut through two lowsec systems to buy something in high sec, and his ship was popped on his way back through lowsec. He could have easily taken a longer high sec route.

You are lucky the happy pirates are giving you good advice. I can expand on it:
1. Never bring a t1 hauler into low unless you control the gate. Even if the gate is empty. Some happy pirates have their ship parked at 400km off the gate and are aligned to the gate. When their cloaked scout on the other side of the gate says "indy on the gate, they are jumping in", they hit warp and land on the gate within a few seconds. Your indy can't align in time to get away. Also of note, 'pvp indies' are a myth. Just killed one today, they don't have the lock time or the tank.

2. A T2 blockade runner is an better ship to bring into low, if you have a covert ops cloak. They can cloak before just about anyone gets a lock. Put a few intertial stabilizers on it, and you can align in 3 seconds.

Anyway, low sec pvp'ers love it when people are hauling things. It gets boring camping a gate. If you really want a fun time, try fitting a bunch of reinforced bulkheads, a DCII, and a cyno, then go into low and light it if you get attacked. You'll probably lose your ship anyway, but you can imagine the pirate com channel.

I'll be honest with you. Pirates aren't even surprised when that sort of thing happens anymore.

It's sort of like "wow that procurer mining in lowsec had a scram and a web and local just spiked, what a completely shocking turn of events."

The new thing is cyno SFIs I'm pretty sure. Like "hi I'm a pirate SFI by a gate. I'm an elite solo PvPer here to catch noobs in cruisers. Oh no I am now being attacked by multiple people, the one weakness of an elite solo PvPer such as myself how could they have known. What ever shall I do???"

[quote=Cannibal Kane]Yep.. because earning 20% of his total loss everytime he loses his ship is what I strife for. Unless he flies a ship worth a Billion or more it is really not worth it.

Why people waste their ISK putting a bounty on people is beyond me. See you soon.

Well, it's not just his ship... Still, you can run around low-sec pvping just for the crap their hulls drop, or you can earn money doing it. You can earn money by pvping warlock brigade. He was flying a drake, with fitting that could spell a fair profit for 5-10 min work. Or you can just go back to mining, whatever you like to do - free money for kills is free money for kills. I'm certainly not going to place more than a billion for them ganking my 60 mil load. Usually I'd ignore it, but it's just not nice to ambush your customers.

The way I look at it is, 1,000,000,000 at a 20% payout means them ganking my little industrial just cost them 5,000,000,000 ISK in hulls and fittings - a small price to pay for business ethics.

I mean, we have this nasty, unrighteous Gallente in Amarr space ambushing innocent industrialists and nobody cares to set them back on the staight and narrow path towards honest work? How sad.


They ganked you for 1.06B ISK the way I see it

Thank me later :D
