Also @ the activation of a kill right, if I activate it for everyone, will this mean I will get a "kill report" in my list if someone else kills him on my behalf?

/c

That wasn't what I was asking. Having to activate a killright available to everyone is understandable, but I feel that activating a killright that is assigned to me or my corp is a wasted and needless UI step, and it should work like, say, a normal killiright would (or being in a war, for instance).

For that matter, if I have a killright against someone because they killed me, do I have to activate it? If so, that would be pretty silly.

Lastly, do I give up my killright when I assign it to someone else?

Also, why do you make it known to the target who placed the bounty? People are just going to use disposable or secrets alts to place bounties anyway. It's a silly mechanic.

I am not sure I get the kill right system, I don't use it now but just so I know.

* When someone assigns me permission to utilize a kill right can I activate it when I see them and start shooting?
* If a kill right is activated then does that mean that if I fail to kill them like they dock or something is it gone for good or can you use it until a kill?
* If you make it for anyone and a friend pops them in a shuttle is it gone or does it last the month?

**IS A FORUM ALT**

I totally wanna start a bounty hunting corp now! Anyone else interest, eve mail me and I'll get back to you from my main!

Awwww I wasso much looking forward to collect on CCP Soundwave's 2 trillion in bounies

\o/ I am very appreciative of the reduction on putting bounties on Alliances though & it sounds like good fairer amount. ( although a 0.1 ISK bounty minimum would be best )

I think he meant he wanted an invite for his non-ccp pilots. We do not get to know who those are.

This how the kill right system you guys came up with will be gamed to regulate it back to be nothing again, well almost:

So I violence some dudes ship and now he has a kill right on me. Side question if he shoots back and I still kill him does that mean he does NOT have kill rights on me like the way it works now? Anyways, so if he is some poor guy that can't cash in the kill rights he has on me he can let others do it for him, cool.

If he sets the price too low to get the kill rights I will simply snatch it with an alt and pop myself in a noob ship. So he has to set the price much higher to keep me from buying it. All I will do is fly ships that are 'not worth buying the kill rights to cash in'. And as long as I'm not hanging out in high sec the whole time, I only have to avoid it for a month. Even in low sec kill rights are pointless because most of the pirates in there who get kill rights on them are already an outlaw, so what is the point?

You really need to remove the expiration date on kill rights to have any real effect on cashing them in. Even have the kill right only expire when enough damage in ISK has been done to match the ISK damage done that generated the kill right in the fist place.

How I see free-for-all public kill rights:

1) get into noobship;

2) use your alt to activate killrights and pop your free ship;

3) enjoy your free kill rights cleanse.

Is that "correct"?

True.

And you thoughts on removing the expiration date and war dec fees only calculating based on characters training a skill?

I would like to give you the opportunity to deny the horrible rumor that is going around that bounty payouts on members of the CSM that you don't like are automatically doubled. Thanks in advance!

Why not tie the bounty system and the kill right system?

So in addition to the current changes:
A person could sell a kill right to an actually bounty hunter who then can hunt the target. Upon kill the bounty hunter would then get 100% of only the bounty that the player who sold the kill right put on him. plus he then would get all the rest of the normal bounty payout if more people had bounties on the target.

This basically acts as a contract, sell kill right for 25m but put a 50 mil bounty on target. When target is killed you also receive a killmail so you know the details of the kill and if you want to use that bounty hunter again.
Seems fair and easy, It would not detract from the current system and just adds a little more flavor.

CCP Punkturis, an important question was raised above.


If they shoot back in self-defense, currently you don't get a killright for opting to defend yourself, regardless of death or not.


As of this change, will defending yourself forfeit your kill right on initial engagement?

My question finally answered. Thank you!

#thatwasnotsohardwasitalek?

Please change the colour from Orange for a Bounty Target. Currently in Faction Warfare, enemies are already orange. Pink is good this time of year I hear? But seriously, there are like other colours available ;)

CCP, show us that you are not afraid of your creation.

Quick question:

Can you place bounties anonymously?

Other than that the changes seem to be wonderful and I see retribution as one of the most interesting expansions yet!

What happens If i place bounty on someone but i delete the character that placed the bounty?
There is already a way to evade knowing who placed a bounty on you just do it with alt in npc corp?
Will ccp forbid people in npc corps placing bounty?

Will devs log in to personally collect bounties on players?

Come at me bros!

Ahh OK, thanks Jim.

Disclaimer: Didn't read through it all.

Did I get it right that only the pilot who gets the fatal blow gets the bounty (or the highest dps in case of concord or self-destruct)? Why isn't it shared like FW LP?

TO CCP: THIS IS AN OFFICIAL QUESTION!

Why do you exclude your own employees from this crappy bounty system?

I think that you know, that you have just created a daft, 100% grieving tool but you will not be involved in that crap. So please explain why your paying customer, with positive Security Rating, must deal with that? And please.. NO "CCP Punkturis" which was again not involved in the decision process and is not able to find a bad piece in this daft idea.
