Reward the "good guys" of eve and motivate the care bears of high sec to venture into low security space by having concord reward pilots that have positive security statuses when they kill pilots that have negative security statuses in low security space.
A similar payout to the bounty system, a percentage of the ships value is paid by concord to pilots with positive sec on the kill mails.
I originally posted this in bad ideas section for giggles, but Having thought about it more I can only imagine it would create content and inspire certain pilots to get into PVP, that is where the most fun is at! |

I don't think the bounty system is sufficient reward for any "bounty hunters out there", is there actually any? I see it only as a bonus myself.
There are loads of FW pilots and Pirates in low sec, not enough anti-piracy. IMO
I mostly find myself fighting other pirates, null sec alliances, faction warfare people. The positive sec status people are always seen as an easy kill, running as fast as they can away from anyone red. I'd like to see gangs of positive sec players with a passion for killing pirates. |

I like the idea, a possible payout could be concord lp based on the value of the kill. |

So I just shoot myself with a 5.0 alt and profit? No, this won't work. For the same reason the bounty system doesn't work. This is a game of alts.

Well that is a problem..
I certainly would not like it to be exploitable.
Maybe someone has an genius idea for a mechanic to avoid that. |

This got majorly hashed over back when CCP was introducing the latest iteration of the bounty system. Anything that's of sufficient motivation to make a person go forth and do it is easy enough to abuse with alts or friends.

The reward for loot drops and bounty is somewhat acceptable if you are PVPing a lot.
I have no idea of what a care bear or high sec merc might think, maybe they are happy with the bounty system?
Do they have no desire to fight the good fight and get some vengeance on the outlaws of new eden?
I think it would be great if we saw the high sec players punishing others for breaking concord's rules. |

I have +5 sec status.

I am assuming your in null sec, bit of a different case, however!
I'd bet your character isn't the type to break any concord rules, I'd also bet you won't be podding anyone with that toon in low or high security space anytime soon will you? You are not breaking any concord rules in null sec, so by Concord's standards I would class you as a good guy
So you should still be awarded riches for killing pirates in low sec buddy! Even if that is just your isk making char and you'r actually ganking these poor high sec people all day on your main. |

I fail to see why you deserve any special treatment, other than what is already given. Whether this be from the loot fairy, bounty office or kudos value of the boat you violenced.
Most self labelled 'good guys' I have met in Eve, tend to be the exact opposite. Just because you have shot some NPC entity at some point, doesn't equate to you being 'good'.

so besides hooking up 0.0 on low sec roams what is this doing really?
0.0 would just get paid to low sec roam. When I did this with healthy ratting and shooting anything not blue on low sec roams I still had no sec status issues (let pods live is the secret, dings come slower ergo less fixing needing ratting). SO they'd get paid.
Not seeing an empire bear go oooh, I get paid 50K if pirate is in a cruiser....yep, its time to teach those tuskers a lesson they won't forget.
Here is the deal....if an empire bear feels the pvp itch at some point they have much better options. WH's or 0.0. Or they can roll up in RvB once in while as well to never even have to leave empire tbh.
They get their pvp fix...and get paid well at the same time. Here in lies the issue with low sec. It lacks this allure imo. Low sec's only allure, imo, is if you truly hate the blob and hate probing and d-scanning all night it gives you a place to play out of empire. |

I'd be in favor of null alliances roaming for pirates. I am not saying the reward has to be ISK or LP, it could even be earning positive sec-status? There are a lot of role-players and players out there that love their 5.0 sec status, maybe they could reach a glorious 10.0 sec status and have the envy of all the bears.
I imagine it is these players that would find bounty or pirate hunting more alluring than others. |

I haven't labeled myself a good guy at all.
and how dare you accuse me of shooting NPCs!
