Falcon of course.

Not counting management ...

CCP Greyscale: As to starbases, we agree it's pretty terrible, but we don't want to delay the entire release just for this one factor.

Define "wired"...I don't get it.

And this bounty system is exactly what people have been asking for for a very very long time.

Bounties for all! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2279821#post2279821

First: I don't think english is his first language so give him a break.

Second: New bounty system does NOT change who you can shoot and where. Dev's have confirmed. Concord will still pound you in hi-sec if you don't have rights to shoot the person for some other reason.

I just don't understand null sec players.

**Please note: **Anytime I use the phrase PvP in a post, I'm talking about shooting/combat/killing things/blowing things up. Thank you.

EvE space become a place where no difirence form pirates and other who prefer pve - industry etc, everyone become potential (bad guy) and carebear at once, so in fact even peacefull grandma become a potential psycho or serial killer form first look.


So.... just like real life eh? Smile

You do realize that in reality prices are put on innocent peoples heads by the bad guys all the time too right?
They just call them contracts or hits.

You just have to get it out of your head that a bounty is some sort of signifier of good guy or bad guy. It never was actually, as a characters security status often does not reflect their moral compass in game.

I personally love the new bounty changes....

There are plenty of "bad" players in EvE that have positive sec status.... and there are plenty of "good" players in EvE that have negative sec status....

A negative Sec status just shows your willingness to shoot first in empire space. And frankly, there are many, many valid reasons to do so.

A positive Sec status just indicates you carebear (be it in highsec, lowsec, or nullsec). It also indicates you carebear more than you shoot people in empire, but there are plenty of ways you can screw someone over that don't incur sec status hits!

My question remains the same. For how long am I going to have to un-subscribe to remove a bounty from my toons?

5 Months....

Please realize though... a bounty does not mean people can shoot you without consequence. In other words, you still get concord's "protection" even if you have a bounty on your head...

You are not a carebear.

You are a ware profiteer who sells goods that ultimately get used to destroy millions of lives throughout space.

As much as putting a bounty on devs and ISDs is going to be epic, I hope the top ten list will not show them. Just don't want to see half of it taken up by bounties on people which can never be cashed on.

A reward devoid of risk is no reward at all, but is instead a handout.

While the OP did have sortof a whine going... he does have a valid point. There's a romance and notalgia to being a neg-sec rating and the "Wanted" sign on them was sortof a trophy for being a true Eve-bad guy.

... now that the "Wanted" can be applied to everyone the romance and daring of pirate life is somewhat diminished.

Maybe the bounties should be restricted to players with negative ratings as now and just the bounty payout mechanics changed?

Please excuse my difficulty understanding your poor English, but did you just say having a bounty on you will somehow make you rich? What?

He'll use an alt to kill and collect the bounty...............

Considering the payout will be a fraction of the hull cost he blows his alt up in, I'm not seeing that working too well for him.

This is indeed bad posting, let us all pledge to put 100 mil minimum on this guy. Here here!!!

Highsec is owned by players now. Systems 0.5-1.0 are New Order Territory. All miners and other residents of Highsec must obey The Code. Mining without a permit is dangerous and harmful to the EVE community. See www.MinerBumping.com

The only romance to the current bounty system is that of the bounty bearer with his own ego, since he put the bounty on himself to try and look "dangerous".

I'm sure it's been explained to him before, he's just trying to look clever while being cowardly... which as you can see is quite difficult to pull off successfully.
