I was talking with my pal the other day about this very topic. With the ability to sell kill rights and all the other great changes CrimeWatch 2.0 brings, do you think we will see maybe an empire police force band together?
I personally know a few people that don't play EVE for the isk (I assume they are well funded as is) and are jumping at this very idea. It's pretty much beat downs in empire as they see it, sell them your kill right (assuming you lack the fight back) and watch as hungry "police" groups hunt down your foe and shed his tears for once.
Thoughts? |

Even if you get the kill rights, that just prevents your sec status from being hit if you engage in low sec. That doesn't mean you can magically pop anyone you want in high sec without Concord. You'll still get the Dokken if you shoot someone in highsec without when you aren't at war or they aren't flashy red.

Quote:Legality Flag: This flag exists to penalize those who commit criminal/suspicious actions in Empire space (high and low sec). A character with a Legal flag is always a legal target for offense from all other players
I assume that a band of brothers (or sisters) would hunt down these flags for empire pvp ;)
As for selling kill rights, concord (thanks to the new bounty system) won't be doing anything, and once the player being hunted shoots back.. well, it's on for the corp mates ;)
[I could be 100% wrong on both these though (not the smartest cookie)] |

Also kill rights don't matter outside hisec so good luck with "police force" executing their "rights" anywhere else.
I think under the old (current as of today) system, empire players couldn't be organized without being in the same corp or else everyone would get concord all up on them. With the new system, groups of players can roam for suspect players and hunt them down.

Using these mechanics: "If the target manages to escape and the Suspect flag timer (15 minutes) lapses, the kill right is still available to be purchased (activated) later on."
I'll get kill rights on myself with an alt, sell the kill rights. Then i'll fly around in empire with 5 warp core stabs in the low slots to bait people to buy the kill rights. Escape due to WCS', wait 15 minutes, repeat. It's not going to be very profitable if the kill rights are 1 mil a piece, but still :D
Another way for players to scam other players ;) I like it ;) |
