Why pay out the bounty in one kill, why not just get payed depending on the ship your target was flying (minus a percentage).
The pilot with bounty should in no way be able to make money out of it, blowing himself up with alt + insurance & bounty.

For example:
Pilot A has a bounty of 500 mil.
Pilot B kills pilot A who was flying a Tengu.

Pilot B gets payed ~100 mil.
The bounty of Pilot A is now 400 mil.

Next time, read the OP.

Hi there, I see you're new to these forums

Let me show you around

I think somebody needs to tell Poetic Stanzeil (sic) she's a dev... lol!

Speculating on some bit of information concerning the upcoming bounty system is obnoxious? Here I thought it was kinda fun.

I don't get it. Did I get trolled? I would not have guessed you to be a dev.

Why do I always have to be such a nub...

Your blog is interesting to read at any rate.

Performing an action against another player that gets you a Criminal flag will also award a kill-right to that person. This will happen regardless of whether or not the target ship was destroyed.

I'm still wondering why I get labelled as obnoxious? Right alongside Pipa Porto.

The miner's friends ARE constrained. They can do nothing about it until the suicide ganker takes his 10-million-isk shot on a 100-million-isk ship. He decides when, where, and how **** is going down because he's already calculated the constants (including ship loss). The suicide gank will be on the ganker's terms.

I've told you already. Learn who the bounty hunters are the same way miners must learn who's hunting them. Learn the ships that will most likely go after you the same way miners must do the same. And I've already told you what ships to look for but you refuse to acknowldege that as well.

Again, you are NOT being attacked by surprise. You generated a killright. EXPECT retribution.

If you're so afraid of the boogyman you could always choose NOT to generate a killright. No one is forcing you to gank in hi sec.

Pipa and Poetic are my alts, everybody knows that!

The current bounty system is made useless because of alt characters. Put a 100M bounty on someone, that someone is going to collect his own bounty with an alt. Blown up and podded in a naked clone flying a rookie ship. Putting a bounty on someone is giving that someone free money.

What a complete fookover of high-sec industry and weighted toward all the alliances with buttloads of money. You can now target anyone you like and screw up their game permanently.

Way to go CCP. I'll be signing off from this latest stupidity with my multiple accounts as soon as you guys put this piece of sh**T through.

Can I have your stuff?

Since that's not an answer to the question I posed, I'll try again:
How is the ganker not constrained by their guaranteed ship loss when the gank the miner?


The miners can use D-Scan to discover who's hunting them.

Blind Transferrable killright hunters are not in any way constrained in their ship choices like suicide gankers are. So you're suggesting "look out for all the ships" as a viable method for figuring out who's hunting you. I suggest "look out for packs of destroyers or T3 BCs" and you counter with "'look out for all the ships' is the same thing".

This is not and should be considered a exploit in anyway a person is paying or plexing for that alt account and should be allowed to do anything any other account being payed for can do

you want a working bounty system in this game i only see too ways to do that
1 Remove Jump clones
This would be a really really bad thing for eve, but whould fit probelms in the bounty system since someone who pods them self for bountys isnot going to use a implanted clone,

2 Tie the bounty itself to the pod its put on

Yes this would allow players to have many bountys on many pods But what it would do is forse a players to wait till the bounty is higher than the value of his implants
Or only do nasty things in a unimplanted pod

I agree with Poetic on one point if you put a bounty on someone your pritty much saying here have some free isk =)


I offer a soloution ... Hair a merc to pod the guy your anoyed with it will cost you a bit more but you actual know what your getting for your money =)

princess bride and elf!

I love how some of the people in here are afraid of getting caught with their pants down.


When someone is ganked there are certain people who are claiming that they should have realized it was going to happen. I disagree. As someone who often uses a Freighter on his alt let me tell you that it isn't as simple as some people are trying to claim. Yea, I am careful about how much I keep in my cargo and I have never been ganked. However, when you jump into a system with 100s or even 1000s of people in it you can't go "Oh no! There are 50 people on the gate in various ships that may or may not be fitted for high alpha!" Even with a scout, which I have used on occasions when I really had a lot to move, there is no way to see a gank coming 100% for sure. There may or may not be hints but then again if your freighter is getting bumped for 10 minutes while they get the numbers they need chances are there was 0 warning.


If you're a highsec ganker and you're afraid of getting ganked all I have to say to you is "suck it up buttercup." I think that changes to killrights are very interesting. Whether the person knows their killrights have changed hands or not it will add an interesting dynamic to ganking.

Ganking is 0 risk as it is now in most instances. A ganker chooses where, when and how they lose their ship. They control their sec status. They control almost all of the variables in some cases. Yes, maybe the miner tanked but you know that with a scan don't you? Yes, the freighter may have too much in its hold. Then again, sometimes you need to move expensive stuff in a short amount of time. That is a risk a freighter pilot takes. The gankers who got him picked the when, where and how. That isn't risk; that is acceptable losses. Stop claiming concord is part of the risk. Concord goes into the cost-benefit thought process of whether to gank or not.

Just in case you didn't read all that. To gankers I say "suck it up buttercup."
