While I think what Feyd propose ( tying bounties to kill rights ) is way better than what we have, there is still a lack of kill rights out there to be hunted. Maybe if they didn't expire like they currently do.

Can admit I totally got into EvE hearing about bounty hunting being a thing. Bummer when realities of EvE became apparent.

Get on Comms, or die typing.

I think a contract system would be a good way to go. There could be two options: the first, a set price to be paid for a pod or ship kill. The person making the contract would be aware that their target might just pod themselves with an alt to collect the bounty.

Alternatively, the contract could pay out a percentage of the killmail up to a set ISK amount, like the current system but the person drawing the contract could choose the % value. The target couldn't abuse this because they would have to lose more ISK than they would make.

To counter the random application of bounties, allow the target to pay off their bounty.

Here's my take on a system that would provide Bounty Hunters with a viable career path. I'd love to hear comments and critiques. The point of this part of the series is to be a platform to build from, so refining it is critical to presenting a strong idea to the game world.
