A bounty doesn't generate a free for all flag, it generates a contract that someone has to accept in order to shoot that person. It means that if I'm flying around with a bounty you don't have the right to shoot me until you accpt the bounty contract.

It should only mean that someone has to ACCEPT THE BOUNTY.

I don't think crimewatch or bounties are going to make any difference to the game.

Basically CCP has a choice, accept High Sec culture (as in living there for the whole time you play the game is completely legitimate) and let that suck the rest of the game dry.

Or balance risk and reward and make a gradient where people are keen to leave to seek greater riches.

Everything else is just window dressing.

From the dev blog. It talks about kill rights, but only the ability of someone that already has kill rights being able to transfer those kill rights to someone else.

How do you collect without kill rights? Suicide gank.




And CONCORD comes and kills your alt, just as if you had killed them without accepting the bounty.

At least we will have something to do with the endless Tech ISK faucet the bears keep screaming about.

It means exactly what it says. Having a bounty on me does not alter your ability to attack me without CONCORD intervention. You would still need kill rights.


The change is that IF someone has kill rights on me, they could make those kill right public so others that want to kill me could buy those kill rights and use them. If no one has kill rights on me, because I've not attacked them, then there is no one to buy the kill rights from.

Are you trying to say that you can't shoot people in high sec with a bounty on them? Because I'm pretty sure that's not right, seeing as they removed the need to pod; seeing as you can't pod anyone in high sec.

Too bad that tech isn't an ISK faucet

@Natsett Amuinn

That's what the bullet point says. You can't shoot people with a bounty just because they have the bounty.. accept the bounty or not, doesn't change anything. If that is not the intent, they need to change the wording quickly.

Is that stupid? Not going to argue that point. I'm merely trying to point out what it says and what it means to an english speaking person (no offense intended to anyone who is not native english speaker!!).

Are you sure?

We are talking about 1 trillion isk / month / moon.

I'm going to start a thread and see if we can get some clarification on that line.

I'm pretty sure it's only there to indicate that it doesn't generate a FFA flag that would allow everyone to just shoot someone with a bounty legally.

None needed, you are wrong and you should take your advice and go read the dev blog.

There's no need to be an Ahole, I'm not being a **** to you; no need to be a **** to me.

I've read the blog, several times, and I do not think that line means what some pople think it means.

Right, you think that you can pay 100,000 ISK to legally kill whoever you want in highsec.

That's perfectly sane and rationalal and demonstrates solid reading comprehension.

>not an 'ahole'
>goon with a hardon over ganking miners

Pick one.

goon with a hardon over ganking miners

I'm going to have to agree with the persons that said the bounty sytem will have no impact on anything, now.

It'll be used the same way the current one is used, for bragging rights. People will just put bounties on their high sec alts who will never get the bounty collected.

It'll have an impact. People with sufficiently high bounties flying sufficiently expensive ships will be shot. They will either have to take the losses or adjust their flying habits to fly something that doesn't pay for itself if you attack it.

It looks like you're reading far too much into what's been said. The difference with the new bounty system is simple: it adjust when and how much bounties pay out. That is all. The GÇ£whenGÇ¥ part means that they will have a bigger effect since it's easier to actually trigger to pay-out. The GÇ£how muchGÇ¥ part means that they will have a bigger effect since you can't make money by shedding your own bounty yourself.

None of it has anything to do with CrimeWatch or flagging. It has nothing to do with contracts. It's just something you get if you break stuff.

I'm seeing it as something that's designed to primarilly effect gankers in high sec.

Do people care in low and nulla bout bounties, I haven't come across anyone that cares .

I don't know, we'll see. I was just hoping this would be a way for people to actually impact high sec industry which is impacting markets all over EVE, to the point of stifling them.

I guess one can hope that corps will put out trililions of isk in bounties to effect enough miners. Meh, now I'm feeling more pessimistic than I like.
