But this is still something we're discussing
* Excluding NPC corps, and assisting Outlaws in high-sec

Overall, these are good changes... as killrights become much more "useful", but you wont see a huge population of highsec players with killrights on them.

The point of the victim is to try to cash in on the loss of his ship. Say I get killed by someone and I am in a 200mil mining barge. I can put up a 50mil isk kill right on that guys head. Now for 30 days until someone kills the guy I will recieve 50mil everytime someone engages him. If he get engaged and gets killed, well thats 50 mil in my pocket; but if he gets away then I get the 50 mil still but in 15 minutes time someone tries again I get another 50 mil.

The kill rite will have to be high enough that he won't want to pay for it (if he does thats 50mil out of his own pocket, which is a result in itself) but low enough that others will want to pay that amount to take a shot at him.

Its a very odd dynamic but should make for some very interesting gameplay.

Some people will continue to give no ***** if they can be free-for-alled, but this will definitely cause many people to think twice before grabbing a criminal flag in highsec, because it means they can be dogpiled at anytime in highsec and without warning.

The best thing is you can put a kill rite on your own head and bait fights.

1) Attack Alt in nub ship
2) Use alt to put 20 mil kill rite on your head.
3) Put a bounty on your head for 20% of the cost of you ship.
4) Sit there in your 100mil ship waiting for someone to attack you hoping to make a quick easy 40mil
5) Dont die for 15 minutes (Run away/fight back??)
6)??
7) 20mil Profit
8) Do this for 30 days
9)Repeat

1. When you buy a kill right, you do so in space when you can see the target of the kill right and the suspect flag is activated immediately. Think of it more like a hunting license than a commodity that changes hands. You paid for the opportunity of a kill, not a guarantee.

People don't go after targets that are marginally profitable... they go after targets that are blatantly profitable...

Yes? Why is that a problem? It means people are exercising their kill rights rather than let them sit untouched. This is a good thing.

We're talking about suicide ganking (SG) in highsec, and whether a large bounty will "sway" suicide gankers to gank a target.

-- If you are NOT SG'ing for profit... then the bounty will have no effect on you...
-- If you are SG'ing for profit, then the bounty helps your profit margin, but generally speaking, not enough to matter. Exceptions to this might be extraordinarily valuable ships.
Example where it may matter: a JF pilots with a 1b+ bounty. Note: if you're a JF pilot with that large a bounty, you probably stole the JF and deserve to be suicide ganked, so the bounty system is working as intended!!

GǪand why is that, seeing as how they'll be much more common under this new system and seeing as how there will be new incentives to keep collecting them? I'm not ignoring anything. I'm asking you why it will happen and why it will be a bad thing.

Suicide ganking is not going to stop, as its waaayyyyy too profitable..... so killrights will continue to be generated by people that don't understand why putting 200m in an iteron III or 20b in a Freighter is a bad idea. Those people can sell their killrights, to recoup some loss.

I really think the way you want "suspect flag" and killrights to go hand in hand is a bad idea!!! it really shouldn't be everyone in who comes by who should be allowed to shoot the person... why not just make it only the fleet you are in that can shoot the target?

you will end up with people with killrights on their head being completly unable to go anywhere near systems with high trafic/population

thus forcing people with killrights to stay away from places like Jita?... instead of having it be something that can encourage pvp (not that it wont be used)

They're just not convincing, especially in the face of the increased incentives to shoot people and the increased methods of generating those rights.

I cannot express this enough. This will be the *new* canflip.

Can anyone confirm that an aggressing a suspect in highsec allows them to fight back or will you just run away for 15 minutes?

I don't see anything in the blog saying that they can't. It's more a matter of them having a harder time actually getting killrights to sell since, being outlaws, they're usually legal targets so attacking them won't trigger the C-flag that would give them the killright. If they manage to be illegally attacked, they should be able to sell it as well as anyone else.

['m pretty sure any PvE ship worth 1billion ISK is going to have reasonably high EHP. You're going to need more than 3 friends (or you're going to making an investment in DPS and a bigger ship) to take down the PvE ship.

They can do this repeatedly until they get -5 sec status and then have to go to low or null and belt rat a bit until standings improve. All combat occurs on his terms when he chooses and thanks to the protection of concord.
