So I had a kill right, after the activation immediately my opponent docks and undocks in a shuttle, warps off to planet and his alt destroys his shuttle, I receive notification my kill right was used, that's over.

My initial impression was kills were private to owner or his corp, but wrong, they are public.

In current situation KR are broken because of immediate nullification and no punishment, some examples following

Killrights were broken from the get go.

They're almost exclusively used for scamming.

They used to be exclusive to the owner and they were completely under utilised. It's not as easy as you think to create a justice system that people will use without exploitation.

Since this is a feature and idea forum rather than a rant forum, do you have a suggestion?

Previous mechanic was at least working, 30 day exclusive right to wreck a ship, and it was enough to prevent camping undock.

You have to be a little clever about how you use these, wait till they have an agression timer , or on a gate and ping pong them back and fourth.

I am very certain that kill rights are private until you make them available to all, a player, corp, alliance.

They are only broken to those that don't know how to use them properly.

They are, hes complaining about tjeir function though, he was expecting a limited engagement rather than the target going suspect.

He'll complain when his target docks up for 5 mins.

I reckon kill rights should not expire after 1 kill. They should expire only after the "criminal" has had the same ISK value destroyed as the "crime" that created the kill right in the first place. Or after the standard 30 day time limit, whatever comes first.

e.g. If someone ganks a PLEX Ibis, the kill right would be live for 30 days or until the perpetrator loses an equivalent amount of ISK to kill right activations. It should not be possible to get rid of it by getting an empty shuttle blown up.

Good idea, but that may completely nerf empire suicide ganks :D
30 catalysts gank freighter value 5B ISK and each of them has 5B value of punishment. Split 5b for percentage of the dealt damage I guess appropriate.
What if the attacker can't wreck the victim? Simply 30 day one kill for any ISK?

this is not how the world works mate, if you post something on the forum you can get posts that disagree with you or they can agree with you. either way anyone has the same rights to post in a thread.

Read your op again. No question or ideas, just whining. What exactly is a dev supposed to respond to?

This, if you can't kill the guy in the ship at the time you activate it then you are the only one to blame for your pathetic miserable failure.

You'll be waiting a while, you pie-eyed charlatan. Take note of the name of this forum: 'Player Features and Ideas Discussion', not 'eVRiAL's Features and Ideas Monologue'.

They seem to be working for me. My fleet was out for a LOL roam in Ventures one day (on 2016-01-09 18:49:31 if you want to search for the kill) and we wrecked a Separatists Rattlesnake in highsec due to activating a killright.

Making activating a killright trigger only a limited engagement would have meant only the single person activating the killright would have been able to shoot the Rattlesnake, rather than the 63 people who killed it, meaning it would have survived without issue.

Making activating a killright trigger only a limited engagement in your particular situation would have meant you'd get an empty shuttle kill, while your opponent gets a shuttle loss exactly as before. BFD.

Sell your killright for ISK and move on.

You are aware of the concept of discussion? Discussion being a conversation where participants exchange points of view, opinions and ideas.

This forum is for the discussion of features and ideas, your OP contained neither an idea or feature, just a rant about something you clearly don't understand.

If you want a dev response, without players discussing the beef you have with the current mechanics, you file a support ticket.

I wouldn't hold your breath though, as your understanding of the kill rights mechanic is obviously lacking.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.
