Greetings,
So I have been playing eve off and on for the last 6ish years and have always kinda been let down by the lack of a proper bounty hunting profession. With alts and the way the system is set up now its just too easy to collect the bounty from your alt which ultimately takes away from the profession as a whole. That being said I think I have found a way to make it an actual legit working profession. My suggested changes are as follows:
1. Players can continue to place bounties as normal. However not just anybody can collect bounty. These bounties would go to an NPC agent specifically designed for the new bounty system.
2. Players would accept random bounties from these NPC's. Players would have the ability to accept and decline from a list of given bounties. Once accepted they are the only person able to collect the bounty reward on the given character.
3. Skills could be introduced to aid in this profession to give bonuses like selecting from a larger list of bounties or getting intel about last known location (or just using locator agents more often or with lower requirements) or something else along those lines. Alternatively instead of skills you could also get better bonuses based on what lvl bounty hunter agent you are able to use.
Because you are receiving a RANDOM list of people with bounties and you are only person able to collect the bounty when you have the mission I think it fixes many of the problems with the current bounty system. At a minimum i feel it puts it in a much better position.
What does everybody think about my current proposed changes? or even what they would add further? |

Yeah, that seems like a good way to do Bounty Hunting.
The only bad aspect I see is that a main character could easily have an Alt character or friends keep declining the mission offers till it get's the one for it's main character, then do an easy kill, collect bounty and reward for completing the mission.
To help offset that aspect maybe have a small random amount of available Bounty missions to choose. Meaning after viewing and declining like a dozen or so Bounty offers, the Agent stops talking with you. Also have access to the Bounty Agent set up like R&D Agents, available once every 24 hrs. Probably should have the mission itself set up with no expiration timer since it takes time to hunt. Players also need to work up status with the Agent, meaning Agent first offers small low pay Bounty missions and after the player successfully completes a set amount of those, starts offering higher pay Bounty missions.
Anyway, +1 for posting.

Yeah i pretty much would settle that the same way you had mentioned. Basically you can only refuse so many bounties before the bounty agent stops talking to you.
@ Yourmoney Mywallet: Yeah sorry I was not sure where to post it. Thanks ill move it to there.
