I will pay if you can provide a certified killmail. 10 million ISK bonus for podkill. Let him know why he is killed.

Edit : Won't reward his corpmates if they kill him.

My terms are not negociable. This is an easy assignment. Take it or leave it.

So easy you can't do it yourself. You are going to need to make a proper offer.

You definitely sound mad. There's nothing better than mad furry carebears. Lulz on the lowball reward. I am now more inclined to find where you mission and ninja salvage you until you put a 1 Bil bounty on me. Ya, I'm most definitely going to do that now.

Naw, she seems like too much of a passive aggressive wimp to show such cajones. Bears don't shoot. That's why it's ok to rob them blind and laugh hysterically as they stomp and huff. In a way, its cute and endearing.

I was going to give you a typical troll reply but I decided to give you a straight up answer.

35m for a KM is a very fair offer. There are a few ways to get a kill mail. The most straight forward way is a Gank. To do that I would fit a Thrasher for alpha then find him through a locator. The thrasher would run me about 3m or so (5 if I T2 the gyros) and the locator would be another 250k. None of that offset by insurance. Then there is the hit to sec status, which wouldn't be much but it is worth something to me.

Secondly, if he is not in an NPC corp, I could war dec him. That would be 8m if he is in a corp and 50m if he is in an alliance. That would take 2 days to start (corp vote of 24 hrs and a warm up of 24 hours) during which his corp could dec shield and waste all that isk I spent. Or he could, if he has enough willing corpies, fight me. Which would be okay but that would cost you a lot more than 10m because then you are talking about merc services. I do provide that service within reason but, honestly, I am more of a special jobs corp.

As for a pod kill, I would have to set up a trap for your victim involving at least two players. One of those players would be in a smart bombing battlecruiser or battleship. If I go the bc route, the results are about 75% guaranteed. With a BS, I would be looking at about 90-95% success. It would require study and that means time. Time that has a value to me. So, I would look at loosing 40m for a SBombing Ferox to 85m for a Sbombing Scorpion. None of that insurable. Then there is the larger sec hit, possibly up to over 1 full point, depending of factors. That would keep who I would use to do the pod kill out of 1.0 space. Which would be very inconvenient. If I contracted it out to someone, they would want at least 200m for the pod kill which would mean that I would have to charge you 250m. (I have to make isk somehow.)

So, in conclusion, I understand you have a budget. The problem is your budget is not big enough. What you need to decide is if you want this person dead bad enough to pay to get it done. Otherwise, I would suggest you either a) ignore him as he ninja's your loot or b) train a Noctis and loot it yourself. Although, I have been able to out loot and salvage a Noctis on more than one occasion. It just takes skill and dedication

tl:dr Lesson to a new person on the economics of contract killing in Eve.

P.S. All prices listed above are Jita prices and subject to change without notice. Any billing questions should be addressed to customer service.

Eve mail me with all information on target and I will begin the process.

Well, if you guys (pirates, hitmen, whatever) prefer to shoot your customers, you are not as smart as I thought.

Oh, my sides. They hurt from the laughter. You don't have time to gank him. Right. None of that time you spend hour after hour killing mindless NPC rats could be used to, I dunno, exact revenge? It takes all of 15 minutes max to fit up a gank Thrasher, run a quick locator, find him, and start shooting. My lord, it's no wonder why you furries don't get any respect.

BTW - pay me 35mil and I won't suicide gank you. You convinced me this is a very reasonable price. You have 24hrs to respond.

See, the "locate him" part doesn't take 15 mins when you suck at combat probing, and/or can't afford/fly a t3 which can fit combat probes AND fight.

EDIT : Oh, and you are very welcome to give me some fight, as long as you shoot first. That's actually what I'm looking for.
