This, pretty much.

To OP: You do realize that you can be a murderous monster in wormhole and null and lose absolutely ZERO security status, yes?

Then move to hisec, run missions, yadda yadda yadda. grind up to a +5 or higher sec status while still taking holidays in null/w-space and making Vlad Tepes look like a saint?

As long as CCP allows alts the system we have now, while not perfect by any means, seems to sorta kinda work.

Everything in EVE is a trap.

And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)

You want to know what immorality in EVE Online looks like? Look no further than Ripard "Jester" Teg.

You don't even grow/buy alts. You only need to pay some extra ISK to the guy who has grown +5s for exactly this purpose. Like how there are locator channels in which people locate for a fee now.

No, I'd rather playing the bounty hunter in a balanced, well thought system. Unfortunately yours is not.


Its an idea, not a demand. My thoughts are as valid as yours.

NPC standings is the worst thing you can tie a bounty system into. Say at some point in my career I did FW. I will have bad standings for the opposing faction. Then I make a nullsec trillionaire lord mad on social media, reddit or forums. He buys a toon with right standings, keeps purchasing LP and places infinite bounties on me. What does my FW career even have to do with this nullsec lord? Nothing. What did this nullsec lord do to benefitr this NPC faction? Nothing. But you just give him means to **** me.


Like most ideas, they can be tweaked. I tried to write a short version of the entire system, details need to be worked out. FW can be excluded you know.
I'll repeat what i said before, since you have issues understanding. If a bounty is placed on you, it can ONLY BE EXECUTED in the space where you have that negative standing. This is no different than the Faction Police locking you down and killing you because they don't like you.
If a null sec lord really wanted to "****" you, he can also just hire a merc group to follow you and gank you, and not leave you alone.



Olmeca Gold wrote:

Everyone has that one NPC corp for which they have negative standings. There are a lot of ways you can get - standings for an NPC faction. Why am I a "bad citizen" because I did FW? Why am I a bad citizen because I decline some missions from an NPC corp. I didn't gank anyone? I didn't pirate? Also, there are shitloads of "bad citizens" with +10 security status and all positive NPC standings in this game. NPC standings mean nothing to show who's the bad guy or pirate. They are mostly PvE means to access missions and LP store and earn ISK.

Faction warfare can be excluded/tweaked.
There are also ways (tags) to get your standing back up.
Faction Police can already kill you for entering the "factions" space.
+10 bad citizens are doing no different than crime lords. we all know they're bad, but they play the system well (tags)
NPC standing WOULD mean more than PVE. If you have bad standings with another faction already due to your (-) mission running, you are probably not going there anyways (thought i'd clarify this cus you don't seem to get it)



Olmeca Gold wrote:

Meanwhile, the real 'victims' often will not have the chance to place bounties, as their gankers will most likely not have negative standings for NPC factions which they have positive standings. So you not only have given nullsec lords means to **** someone's life, but also didn't solve any of their issues as well.

Yes, because the 'Nullsec Lords' don't already '****' with people. Also, stop assuming every one that plays a 'ganker' IS a nulllsec lord. Not all bad guys are rich, and not all rich guys are bad.



Olmeca Gold wrote:

You sound like a perfect hisec carebear mission runner with zero knowledge over anything else in this game. You died to someone and want to place a meaningful bounty on the ganker. But you need stop your arrogance and heed people's advice. Try to research and learn this game's mechanics fully before making suggestions. Thanks.

I propose and idea, a thought, nothing more.
You came down not only talk it down (the idea), and with out knowing who i am, how i play, what i've done in my eve career, you accuse me judging a mechanic with zero knowledge. You are doing exactly that, Judging me and assuming things about me with out actually knowing me, Good Job.

Mob connections... yes. As in RL, if you have the ability to get away with a crime and keep your self out of prison, why not.

I would, but it may confuse you more.

Bounty hunting needs the same "help" that drug (and walnut) smuggling should have gotten.

So if I have positive standings with all factions or multiple chars for that I can basically flag and kill everyone who ever ran a few missions and has therefor bad standing with at least one other faction for 1 sp without me having to deal with CONCORD?

It is a hobby of mine to destroy bounty hunting ideas. So far I have not seen a single one which would not end in a complete disaster or just benefit the "bad guy". Well there was one from Tisi which was pretty good.

Out of interest, in which category do you place the ideas that come down to "I use an alt to collect the bounty on myself"?
