Contract Kill Rights

Hello,

I'm not sure if this subject has been approached yet, but I has a idea....

Want to make bounty hunting a real profession? Give players the ability to put their kill rights on contract for bounty hunters to accept....

There would need to be some type of system that would prevent the kill contracts from being purchased by the person the contract is for though...

Anyways, I'd like to hear some of your thoughts on how something like this could work.

That wouldn't be a bad idea at all, you'd obviously have to put some restrictions on people by security status or bounty though.

I think this is a reasonable idea but I also think that the person the kill right is for should be able to purchace it.

This would potentially mean that they would be paying for there kills and a random pirate could have hundreds of kill rights on them

Having the option to set it up as either a public contract or a private one would be nice. I'm sure there are many Corps. out there that would like to become professional Bounty hunter corps, and work towards building a good reputation for effectiveness.

As always....NO to requiring a bounty hunter to have a minimum sec standing, I'd be more than happy to pay a hardened criminal to murder someone I disliked. :Edit: In-game of courseSmile

There has been suggestions made in the past that kill rights be made trade-able. Maybe this idea could be made along with that idea.

I like it, though I agree with Torin Corax that no restriction be placed on sec status.
