EVE New Citizens Q&A

I suggest you play the game further before thinking up ideas.

By simply allowing players to hunt down players freely that has a bounty will cause complete anarchy. People like me will have a field day.

So I am not going to say why your idea is bad, but only ask that you actually play the game and you will realize why your idea is bad.

Amen brother Kane...

Well considering that you can already shoot freely at -5 and below characters what is your point then or the point?

Your idea also says nothing about negative sec status chars.

I have a positive sec status and a bounty of over 2 Billion ISK on me. Very few people will try and claim that bounty and even then it is not a simple matter of just attacking me.

Right you are, that would mean the defining factor is what is a legal bounty and what is an illegal bounty. Of course the mathematical implication of defining those factors is infinite. Therefore security status is taken as a standard. I will adjust the flow chart accordingly and be more concrete.

I'm sure people would be interested in trying there hand on a 2B ISK payout. Of course the aftermath would be is that they can't show there faces in high-sec anymore to a certain extent. Also, the risk of them attacking you is one they have to decide for themselves if its worth it or not.

This would make bounty-hunting a dependable career path, yet still it depends on user generated content for the most part.

I understand your point, but you have to draw the line somewhere when re-designing a mechanic. Currently the line is drawn at a % of active asset pay-out. Regardless of that, bounty-hunting if lucrative comes with its risks.

I'm sure you're a swell guy as well all though that opinion is entirely subjective. I'll ask you kindly to stick to constructive feedback.

Yep I hear that a lot as well to.

But I guess it comes from the fact in the past that is what happened. I use to post stories about engaging people outnumbered and winning. in the end though what actually happens is reputation and less people want to try and engage you so you end up killing the idiots.

I think the last real fight I had was a few month ago, it was a 12 vs me. They lost 8 ships and the rest ran.

but let's not derail this bad idea thread.

I think you are missing Loyd point.

So I will once again state, play the game, learn the game and you will understand.

I am removing myself from this conversation since I can see this will just keep going in circles.

o/ Enjoy.

EDIT: This should maybe be moved by the ISD out of here and into F&I so the forum trolls can tear you apart.

Confirming this is my only character and I don't do anything but sit at a gate all day.
With that logic you have no roll in the game besides forum shiptoaster.

My claim about him being one of the most dangerous pilots has nothing to do with the way I play the game or my ability to gather intel sitting at a gate. (That being said, you would be surprised how much intel you can gain just sitting at a gate)

He is dangerous because of his knowledge of the game and his use of the mechanics, he is also a man of his word instead of someone who just spews garbage all day without doing anything about it. The reason I use the term "one of the most dangerous" is he has done most of what he has done solo in a game that is designed to be considerably more difficult solo. Not to mention he has a reputation that precedes him due to his ability to generate content that entertains. He may not be the greatest pilot or have as many shiny kills as you would (in your opinion) expect for someone to be properly labeled as dangerous but there is a lot more to being considered dangerous than having a kill board that only has shiny kills.

You will have to invest more than the actual worth of the bounty. As such it would be infeasible.
