EVE General Discussion

I agree that would be a cool feature.

That's actually great idea, will support "merc" style of living a lot more.

Lets look at this:

So 1 player has 2 characters in the same system.

1st character ganks the a miner and the miner gets the kill rights.

2nd character offers to kill the 1st character for a fee,

So the the kill rights are transfered to the 2nd character and a fee paid.

leaving the ganked miner with no kill rights.

The 2nd character then says to the miner, not only have you been ganked but scammed as well.



So is the above how this should work?

Well, miner did get ISK. If he also wants to get target killed, he should use known merc corps.

Ahem.

Bait alt goes out and can steals without frear of reprocussions.
One miner takes it upon himself to ganks the poor ibis of doom in an act of defense of the can.

Ibis of doom pilot xfers kill rights to main.
Main wtf BBQs the hulk pilot in his Talos without concord intervention and profits.

Actually yes, I think you should be able to transfer killrights to another character, but it should be done as part of a bounty hunter overhaul.

Such a transfer should require that you pay the person you are transfering killrights to, thus paying them to go kill the guy, in the same vein as bounty hunting. I am thinking the following:


New contract type: Bounty Hunt

Can be private or public, you contract out to have a hit taken out on someone. The contract minimum payment is the ship loss value (including modules) that the person accepting teh contract will get upon completion of teh contract the contract being simply to take the guy out. Possibly able to assign a minmum isk damage done (so you could assign say 100 million isk as teh minimum to be paid, this will take out teh chance of them simply killing a noobship or so on.)

I say minimum is that price as standard but you may add as much isk to that reward as you like. So for examples:

Example 1:

Mr X exploded my rattlesnake, I create a public Bounty Hunt contract for him to be killed. The reward is say 500 million isk (as that is roughly what my cheapo rattler cost) and the duration is 28 days, I also specify that the kill must be 90 million isk minimum.

Mr P takes my contract and hunts Mr X down, sadly he only finds him in a Thorax and that isnt enough, so he stalks him for a few hours and yes, he undocks in a hauler full of fat goodies, after scanning to see a cargo full of plexes, Mr P opens up and drill Mr X full of holes, he is paid the 200 mill contract as he has fulfilled the requirements.


Example 2: (this one negates the chance of Mr X simply accepting the contract on his own alt)

Same scenario, Mr X and my rattlesnake.

This time however I look through C&P and find a reputable bounty hunter, he tells me he willtake the job for 100 million isk over teh ship loss, for a total of 600 million isk. Hmm, I think but yeah i want to see that guy dead, so I agree, but this time I want him to hurt so we agree on a 500 million isk loss. and the scenario plys out as above...


So yeah transferable killrights, as a contract system, this opens up a bright new career path, and simultaneously makes suicide ganking a little riskier as you may just ge a bounty hunter after you for 28 days...

Cept that corp is SWA they have to xfer the kill rights first.

And if you think these two exploits are acceptable may I point you to the reason why bounties never worked.

GREAT IDEA

I would even put in a option for a bonus, if the player makes the kill!!!!!!

The gankers go after indy player that might not have the best skills for PVP ( I never understood the reason why people want to fight other ship that don't even have guns, When i go PVP i prefer the challenge of a FAIR FIGHT.

I really like this idea and would end suicide ganking in a flash.


If ive got a month to take down a dozen thrasher pilots then i would really start enjoying this game/ your mom again

Kill rights as a contract.

Multiple pilots can accept the same contract.

Payment upon completion

No kill...no pay.
