I hope that drones eventually move to be a 'module' as the current drone window is very, very hard to work with.

Reading tweetfleet I suddenly realized a blasterthron suddenly jumping to you from 100km away could be a really nasty suprise.
Very situational but there are uses.

-Then I figured that the only way to place a bounty to a character trough the bounty office was to click the "+" sing next to the name of the players, corps or alliance. Also the other way to place a bounty to a player is by right clicking the player and clicking show info and clicking again the "+", to add the bounty.

How does/will the MJD interact with bubbles?

I assume if you are in a bubble, your MJD is inhibited, but what about MJD'ing into or through a bubble...

MJD 0 km's ---> Bubble @ 60 kms ---> 100 km jump to point...

Do you stop at the bubble or traverse through it?

P.S.... why is this a BS mod only? If you are in a fleet, you essentially leave your logi's behind when using this.... which is very problematic for most fleet warfare situations..

I am trying to understand the intent of the bounty system in the latest patch as i have been a member of a number of mercenary corporations and alliances and enjoy the play style.

My question is, if bounty hunting is to become a new game play option, how exactly does one go about it outside of wardecs?

From what I currently see the area to hunt targets will be in highsec, lowsec, and NPC Null as before; with both high and low requiring a wardec as the mechanism to enable the ability to collect bounties without consequence. This could focus mercenary groups to be more like mercenaries; should be fun.

My current understanding of the new kill rights system says it has nothing to do with bounty hunting since;

1. The player with rights again'st him may have no bounty.
2. You can't hunt public kill rights as you only find them through chance encounter on grid.
3. Most people with kill rights will be beyond -5.0, live in lowsec, and can be killed anyway.

What other avenues for bounty hunting are there going to be that i may have missed?

Out of curiosity, is the MJD stopped by scrams and long points, or just scrams? And do bubbles have any effect on it?

The current version on Duality is not affected by any warp canceling effects, but there is another version on the way that is affected by scramblers (will work similar to MWD). This means for instance that existing bubbles and interdictors won-¦t affect MJD as things stand (nor will disruptors ofc).

first concern is that this will make it far to easy to run with a BS.

1) align to a safespot
2) activate MJD
3) warp right after you jump


i made the suggestion to totally invert the penalties. Instead of adding the cooldown to the MJD, add it to the warpdrive. This will allow to catch BS after they jump but make it more fun at the same time since you could use the MJD multiple times in a row. (cap usage should be increased)

i like this idea i feel it keeps it mostly fair i still think 12 seconds for the ramp up is heavy (maybe we could get a skill to lower this)

you dont need to align but you have 12 seconds to wait before you can actually jump. if a scraming frig cant get on the bs in 12 seconds that pilot is doing it wrong and needs to l2p

Hunt in high and low sec and accept the consequences.
Look for those rare people with buyable killrights and a bounty, activate the killright, go for it.

But basically, you got it.

Is CCP considering implementing navy cap booster 50's and 25's for the Small and Medium Ancillary Shield Boosters? If not, wouldn't it be fair to increase the capacity for those two shield boosters so they could then fit the same amount of regular cap boosters as the intended navy ones (since there are no navy cap boosters in these sizes as of yet). Thank you.

With regards to the new bounty system I have the impression that someone could be perma-bountied if people continuously add to the bounty pool. Is this true?

I have a question about the bounty system: If there is a bounty on a corporation or alliance, is that bounty divided witht the numbers of members they have and does that also include inactives, trial accounts and alt chars on the same account?
