I recently heard about EVE online and have been playing for the last 3 months.

I took the career quiz, and got the bounty hunter career.

Where do I start?

I was looking at the bounty board, and saw some pretty impressive bounties.

The only problem is after doing some math, I discovered that I will actually be losing money in my career as a bounty hunter. And most of the targets with Bounties are protected by concord even though they are notorious criminals.

Any tips of becoming a sucessful bounty hunter?

I tried messaging some of the top ones, but they never responded.

How do I become a famous bounty hunter?

Bounty hunting isn't really a viable profession, sorry.

The last change to the bounty system prevented the system from being abused (oh the irony), but it also made it somewhat useless.

You need to get good at shooting MTU's.

Bombers are probably the best bounty hunter ship out there.

Do you know what reminds me of bombers and bounty hunters? ;_;

Is anchoring for bubbles?

How do you use bubbles to catch criminals with bounties in high sec?

Bounties are mostly just a measure in ISK of how much a person or corp is disliked. Making a profession of it will be difficult, at least in high-sec. You'll have better luck out in low/null but you'll have to be good at PVP.

Oh wow a Goon posted in my thread.

I emailed your CEO the other week about bounty hunting as you are the top bounty hunters in the game.

Unfortunately he didn't reply.

bounty hunting is apparently a slippery slope to exploitation these days; don't get banned OP
