07 y'all!
Is there a known issue with activating kill rights, particularly when they're set to 0? See following thread of in-game e-mails. Also, when answering questions from players even newer than me about making kill rights available, I've noticed the following issue. Char Sheet > Interactions > Kill Rights, then under 'Your Kill Rights' click a drop-down menu and select 'Make available to ...'. In the GÇÿMake Kill Right AvailableGÇÖ window that follows, you cannot use the text box to search, you cannot drag and drop, and the GÇÿMake AvailableGÇÖ button does not enable. The button seems to fail occasionally with the other selections ('Make available to all' etc.) but more than 50% of the time with 'Make available to ...'. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Regards,
Cochise

Not sure, but there has been some weirdness that I am concerned about.
Too often we have been seeing KRs for 0 or very cheap. You try to activate it, and nothing happens. You check the KR button once more, and now the KR amount is huge.
I don't understand the "scam".
Is it really possible people are trying to activate, failing, then spamming the activate once more without really checking the amount?
And...
What the hell is going on? How does that happen?
Last night, I saw a KR of 0. I passive locked and spammed F1 while activating the KR.
Nothing happened.
I checked the KR again, and now it said 40M
I asked Sarah and Armand to check. They said it still showed as a zero KR.
They each clicked it, nothing happened.
Checked it again, now it showed the 40M KR.
What scam/exploit/Fubar mechanic is going on?
Is this a situation where when you enter the grid, it loads the KR -once- into everyone's client? Then as the little bastard is landing and exiting warp, or undocking, he quickly switches the KR to a different one?
Because it sure seems that way, and it only changes the amount displayed when each person tries to activate it, though it was already removed at the server level.
Annoying, at the least.

07!
During that battle in Amarr tonight, I received a notice that my KR against Rion Holliday had been used. I find this curious because I'd made it available only to The Inglourious Bastards. I was busy with the Hyperion so I'm sure I didn't activate it. At first I thought maybe Armand, Sarah, or Thomas activated it by mistake, but none of them are IB. One of the pilots involved in the battle with the Hyperion, Honzifox, is the one who destroyed Rion Holliday.
https://zkillboard.com/kill/62905623/ And he did it outside Amarr VIII (Oris) - Emperor Family Academy, where we were battling the Hyperion, and while Rion Holliday just happened to be in a Velator. My game logs don't show who activated the KR.
Is there some KR mechanic at work here that I'm not familiar with, or is somebody juggling alts, or is this worthy of a support ticket?
Thanks,
Cochise
