Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Here is my idea for the bounty system


1. Pilot 1 wants to put a bounty on the mark.

2. Pilot 1 enters the reward amount and pays a fee for keeping the bounty open for x period of time, which would be calculated relative to the bounty reward amount.(this should get exponentially higher according to bounty value)

3. The mark is notified of the bounty and then is told “in the event you are pod-killed by a pilot REGISTERED to collect your bounty – a fee equivalent to the bounty reward will be charged to use your clones regardless of who provides the service, including your own services. If you are pod-killed by a pilot NOT registered with the bounty office. A fee will NOT be charged for using you clones and the bounty will still stand.

4. Pilots wishing to collect a bounty must register with the bounty office BEFORE killing the mark.

5. The mark can approach the bounty office and pay a fee equal to 80% of the bounty placed on them to have the bounty nullified.


These changes create a large risk in being pod killed, for if you do not have the isk equivalent to the amount it would cost to use a clone – you would have all your isk taken from you. (Unless you are killed by someone NOT registered with the bounty office.)

Also if the mark gets someone they know to pod-kill them to collect the bounty. this would only serve to remove the bounty only, because there would still be a cost incurred to the mark when activating their clone.

The mark could never be sure if the person they have asked to pod-kill them, will hand over the money to pay for the clone fee.

This system would not apply to bounties placed by NPC. concord etc.

Also Provide away for players to tag ships and follow them through gates... but limit it to detectable within 3 jumps or so, also provide a time limit on the tag, so eg. if its been 30minutes the tag no longer broadcasts. This should also show where a tagged ship is docked This ability should only be given to pilots currently registered with the bounty office.

Have skills/equipment associated. (greater the skill level higher the chance of detection)

Have skills/equipment associated to stop the detection of tags.

That is it

So, wait...if I set a ten billion isk bounty on you, and then someone pods you, it charges YOU the ten billion?

lol that would be going too far then.

Instead of monetary consequence you could possibly temporarily limit the marks skills when podkilled or something like that --- any real consequence to the mark would work.
