Player Features and Ideas Discussion

That's really immature and dumb for 2 reasons.
1. Obviously if GMs did that it would take away from player choice and talent, not to mention the GMs have their own special ships.
2. This system could be well worth it and there's nothing wrong with having GMs monitor it for posterity's sake so people can have loads of fun with this profession, just like thety do with every other aspect of EvE. It's a damn game.

Uh... What I suggested isn't intervening At ALL. It's just monitoring it so as not to allow EXPLOITS to occur. What part of that is not obvious enough for a frog's anus to be able to comprehend?

I'd vote for "all of the above", plus "because falcon", "they were meanies", "they rudely refused to undock", "they waz dirty blobbers" and "dafuq he stole my ore?!"

Actually given the change I made you would not be able to just lose 50 mil in ships as you put it, you would need to lose 1bil in ships plus the additional value which I was vague about but since you brung it up the additional modifier could take into account insurence and that fairly easily sums up all these stupid exploits.

With that in place there is ZERO way for the player to get rid of the bounty without losing money.

Your clearly not getting or refusing to read the part where I say the amount the player with the bounty on their head needs to take in losses would be the bounty amount + extra to cover things like insurance, so one last time with the system I have now if you have a 1billion bounty on your head, to clear that bounty you would need to take !!!!!!MORE THAN!!!! 1 Billion in estimated loses with the extra value or modifier I called it taking into account any possible insurance.

SO! unless I am miss reading something, you will be able to get a friend to kill you, BUT! you will be taking a loss no matter what you do

I hope that's clear now I think you probably just didnt re-read the op or just miss understood the situation or just didn't get it or maybe your thinking of something I'm not getting I dunno.

Eh no its not LOL.. ok moving along.

Yes because my system makes it more of a core game feature like faction warfare and not the pile of **** it is now so yes it is more complex, that's the point, I guess you just don't get it, it's ok no idea will make 100% of people happy so your more than welcome to your opinion but as it stands your not calling anything in the suggestion abuse able and that's all the main thing.

Learn to read Danika speak.
They called 90% of your idea abusable. And you have brought back exactly what you claim the core issue in the current system is, lack of isk payout. Because to stop insurance working it has to be 20% of the value of the ship destroyed or less it pays out.

First, What bounties need to do is cause an actual detrimental effect to the player they are associated with.
Hit a certain level and:
-Lose the ability to insure their ships
-Pay higher taxes and fees in stations
-Temporary standings loss
-Training loss when killed

Second, bounties need a way to be worked off:
-Paying reparations
-Performing Faction missions
-Defeating bounty hunters
-Disputing charges - pay a bounty office a deposit (bail) to temporarily decrease your bounty. Initiating combat or failing to return to collect the deposit results in losing it.

Third, Bounty Hunters need a way of distinguishing themselves
-Hunting Module to Tag targets* (more on this below)
-Striving for high Infamy* and bragging rights

Fourth, Reward to the combat victor
-The victor gains infamy points which can reverse detrimental effects caused by having bounties
-The victor gains a portion of the bounty that is on his opponent based upon the value of their ship. (Works both ways)
-The victor gains easy access to the opponent's body as the 'Tag' temporarily disables the capsule, allowing the capsule to be looted or destroyed for a tagged living or dead clone which can be turned in for reward.

Fifth, additional penalty to being destroyed
-Upon death, or being looted as a living clone, the player will be activated within a random Concord station and may receive training loses depending upon how much bounty was paid out.

Sixth, and lastly, there needs to be limits on who can place, who can receive bounties and how high they can get.
-Use Net worth and Infamy as a baseline to make calculations for how high a bounty can get.
-Being the victim of a kill or having kill rights
-Being the victim of a scam. (may be hard to work out)


'Tagging' hunting module is an advanced warp disruptor combat module that also disrupts internal pod controls of its target, but also causes the same effect to the initiator. It can only be activated upon those with a bounty and will need to be activated before any damage is applied to the target. It then remains active until someone escapes range or is destroyed.
-When the Tagged ship or the initiator is destroyed, their pod will be disabled for one minute, allowing them to either be destroyed or 'looted'. In either case, the body that is left behind will be marked as 'Tagged' and whoever turns it in will be rewarded.
-Player is only allowed to own one at a time.
-Usage and aggressing within highsec costs isk to use for a concord bribe. The higher the security level, the higher the bribe.

Infamy will be a system in which by making and contributing to kills, any player's infamy value increases. If a corpse is turned in with a high infamy value, a reward will be given and the infamy of the corpses player decreases. A 'Tagged' body turned in will have a greater reward, and will increase the player's own infamy and decrease the infamy of the caught player by a large value. Having high infamy will also allow increased Bounty Payout.
