Not that I'm a bounty hunter, but I think Destiny Corrupted has a real point.

What if buying a kill right triggered a Limited Engagement between hunter and hunted? Furthermore, what if the LE flag was extended so that it could apply to corps, if that was the right purchased, or to the fleet that the person belonged to at the time that they bought the kill right, if that was the right purchased?

Maybe the most expensive option could be a Suspect flag, if the person really wants to bring mayhem down on someone's head--not that it would necessarily work.

Kill rights are part of crimewatch, so we had to sync up with Team Five O on their work in refactoring that system. WeGÇÖre tying into the crimewatch system in two ways:

Kill Rights will now be created at the same time a Criminal flag is put on a player, but only for attacking in hi sec or podding in low sec. RRing a Criminal will not create a kill right (but still puts a Criminal flag on the repper).

Does 'attacking in hi sec' extend to combat while under a war dec? I.e Does killing a player in hi sec whilst under the CONCORD war sanction mean you still get a kill right added?

Killrights are only added when attacking "illegal targets". Wardecs make people "legal targets".

I know the system needs work, but I'm having a hard time jumping on board with the whole high sec players can take advantage of kill rights acquired in low sec crying crap. Both low and high sec are able to have criminal activity take place in them. And seriously, you can survive in lowsec, but you can't manage kill rights in high sec? Come on. seriously?

Men of the internet the reality here is that while some very valid points / suggestions have been made to the devs in this thread in the main posting here is a futile endeavour.

Getting CCP to change any logical fallacies in what they propose to roll out would be akin to telling the captain of the Titanic that his ship was going to sink prior to leaving port.

You're implying there are any logical fallacies. Given the fact that these changes are made squarely to curb "undesired hisec PVP", this system is perfect.

I agree, the expansion will bring yet more pony and rainbow to high sec. My point still remains that posting here wont make CCP change anything as once the ship is fuelled it will still leave port anyhow even if the weather predictions are adverse to setting sail.

Obviously, but at least we can point to these posts and say "we objected. vOv"

Retribution should realistically be called a "restriction" and not an "expansion".

Allow me to remind you:

Players will make as much ISKs as possible to buy PLEX and to keep their accounts open.
Then they will use whatever is left of their ISKs to buy ships and equipment.
After this will some players try to invest their ISKs into the markets and to make a profit.
Only then, when they still have a few ISKs left over, will they use it in bounties.

Do you still fear bounties?

Currently, bounties are only claimed on podding. We want to extend this to ship destruction as well. This means that if you destroy someoneGÇÖs ship and then pod him, you get bounty twice (the podding bounty is then based on the value of any implants the target has).

...

I didn't say it wouldn't be, I said I think it will mostly be used to place bounty on annoying people!

but I mean people already gank nice people, do you think they'll start doing so much more of that now if they have bounties on them?

I have read the first 10 pages, but I haven't seen this answered yet:
Will it be possible to place a bounty on NPC-corps ?

If I rob a liquor store and the cops shoot my ass and throw me into jail, the store owner doesn't get to come by and pop me in the ass again for self-defense.

Just highlighting a case scenario, a minimum 75-100mil bounty on a person will pretty much means that there will be no AFK travels in frigates/interceptors or anything that will melt from a dessie in a 0.5 system. The state of the current game is such, there are gankers with -10 sec metagaming this regularly (even in a 1.0 system), targeting afk frigates and pods. A typical pod (for the less PVP inclined players) has a pretty high chance of carrying implants worth at least 500mil. So, pretty much, to claim 20% of 500mil only costs a dessie loss (and a noob frigate for the pod). Sec status is irrelevant.

While not an issue per se, it gets annoying not being able to AFK autopilot to destinations in a timely manner (aka not using cruiser hulls or above) when you've got a PERPETUAL red bull's eye painted on you.
Bounties need to have an expiry period and associated costs to extend them, just like insurance.

Just what is not needed:

A system where anyone can officially be randomly griefed by unknown people putting bounties on their heads

The old system, where you could only put bounties on negative standing players, should remain

While not an issue per se, it gets annoying not being able to AFK autopilot to destinations in a timely manner (aka not using cruiser hulls or above) when you've got a PERPETUAL red bull's eye painted on .

But you would only have that if you podded someone in low sec, or agressed in high sec, both actions fairly easy to avoid..it is your choice...

What is your point? One does not get bounties for podding a pilot in high-sec?

The dev blog says:

"Note that bounties are paid out for anything that creates a kill report, so youGÇÖll get bounty paid for destroying for instance a POS belonging to a corporation that has a bounty placed on it."

This tells me a bounty will be paid no matter what.

I am making a prediction. Because the two only ways to remove a bounty is to:

a) Participate in PvP and lose a ship/pod/POS.
b) Unsubscribe and wait for the bounty to be returned.

will it lead to more players using multiple accounts.

When one account gets a too high bounty will players let the subscription run out so that it losses the bounty while continuing with their other account. The number of alt accounts will rise, but the behaviour of the players will remain the same.
