Same as topic. I want to clear out some people using alt miners for principled reasons. What bounty is good enough to compensate you for your time? I'm not expecting directed attacks, just want to give incentives for people you might run across in 0.7-0.5 sec.

Wouldn't it be cheaper just to get a permit?

You're going to have to be a little more specific than that.

This. It's like if you're on your way to gank already, what kind of bounty would get your attention to find and gank a miner you come across instead of going to your original destination.

Roll into the minerbumping channel (you should be able to guess the password), tell them where these guys are, and dangle a few billion in front of them.

See if that works. They recently did a Megathron smartbomb ambush on a guy with two dozen Procurers, I can imagine that is a feat worth repeating if it's possible.

[edit: Yes, they had to make two runs, but the horrifying part is that the guy did not move for 45 minutes while they reshipped.

Smart bombing miners is not in any way a pipebomb.

It's called a disco.

Bounties are not really an effective way to incentivise a gank due to the way bounties work as a percentage of the target ship's value. As has been said above, there may be people in minerbumping willing to help on a fee for service basis. I would structure it as a business deal though with ships and bonuses provided; the New Order is nobody's private army. Apart from James 315 obviously.

That said, no bounty is too small to discourage us from enforcing The Code, and none so large as to distract us from our mission.

Honestly, we hit our capacity in random attacks, and the in game bounty system is worthless. At minimum for directed attacks I would put kill mail loss as payout, or 100m per pilot per kill.

Another option might be paying 500m or so for a group of gankers to move to a specific area for a week, and set blue standings with your guys. This has to pay more as the logistics for it are much higher than for one or two targeted ganks.

I think the above options are fairly reasonable. Contact me in game if you're interested, and I'll discuss it with our alliance.
