I propose the following to be considered as an added aspect to bounty hunting.
Problem: Bounties on players are difficult to track down, players are not given the latest intelligence on where they can look for their targeted bounties.
Proposal: Whenever a player of a ranking bounty level (top 100s) comes within the facility of any NPC installation or character it updates their bounty information to include last spotted location.
Con: Time to implement into game. I'd view a features such as this as back burner to what's going on in CCP with EVE and the future release of DUST 514.
Defense of Proposal: This can greatly improve the profession of bounty hunting by providing up to date intelligence on wanted men/women.
Conclusion: If you leave a trail of blood and money people will talk, this should be an aspect of bounty hunting that can act as a deterrent to those bent on a life of pirating. It allows corporation/alliance affected by pirating to take more direct courses of action.

this might be a bit overpowered. You would just give a 0.01 isk bounty on wartargets and then you would instantly know where they are. There are allready Locator Agents that let u find who every you want. just takes a bit more time. Hunting is a sport, i personally don't want this feature as it would reduce my satisfaction of finding and killing people

He said top 100.
Something like the rouges gallery would be nice though, some of the top bounties in game don't really even play anymore, something that kept a running track on bounties, like, 24 hours old.
Today, you can see where each person in eve with a bounty logged off at yesterday, when was the last noted movement by the suspect, ect, ect.
Simple tracking programs would actually do a LOT to make an actual bounty hunting career in EVE viable.

I'm not opposed, per se, but I do have a question - why do you think this feature is needed, given that we already have locator agents and buddy lists?

You know a lot of bounty hunters?
Better yet, do you know any one person in EVE, or have you heard of one person in EVE, who is a bounty hunter?
There are some seriously steep bounties out there, it should be more than a lucrative profession, there should be a few old rich bounty hunters at this point, only, there aren't any.
EVE is too large, and location agents suck, they are usually well away from the area your target is in, and by the time you get there, the target has moved. The process of finding someone in EVE is nigh on impossible, even with the use of multiple agents on alts and a near "sherlock holmes" approach to finding people, you'll never actually end up near them, unless they are station bound alts.
Either remove bounties (they are pretty stupid and useless in their current incarnation) or finally, 7 years after release, give bounty hunters the tools they need to be a proper mini profession.
