I have recently seen a number of players with black and white skulls on my Overview flying around in secure space. My overview states these players have bounties on their heads. Can they be attacked without consequence to me (other than a risk of being killed, of course)?

There are no "PKs" in EVE.
Skull on your head simply means a bounty that someone placed there. And no you can only shoot them if their sec status is less than -5.0.

No PKs?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the term... I thought it meant when one player kills another (in game). You are allowed to do that, right?
JT
P.S. Thanks for the answer to my question, btw!
Its just that the term PK doesn't apply in EVE. Just like "leveling up" doesn't, even though you gain skill points.

PK'ers are just little boys with small johnsons living in their parent's basement and have no friends nor chance of pullin any wool, so they try to ruin everyone else's fun in the virtual world because they don't have any fun in the real world.
No, PK/griefer/whatever is a name that whiny kids use to call people they don't like.
They aren't little boys, and they don't have a "small penis", and they don't generally live in their parents' basement.
Just because someone blows you up doesn't make them a bad person.
Pirates generally do a risk/reward analysis. For example, an industrial ship is never worth ransoming because if the person is willing to pay the ransom, the cargo was undoubtedly more valuable than the ransom itself. Pirates only ransom if:
a) They believe they will earn more off the ransom than killing you.
b) They believe you have a good chance of paying the ransom.
c) They can ransom. Sentry guns make gatecamp ransoms mostly impossible.
d) They haven't had a streak of idiots who refused to pay the ransoms recently.
Just because they don't ransom doesn't make them "bad people." You calling them names and insulting them because of this DOES make YOU a bad person.

Good saying there.. But when it come's to 0.0 sec space.. All ppl, who are neutral to me and I can kill them in my ship will be killed.. And it's fun.. The war is fun..
Ppl should learn to loose their ship and pod's, 'cos in 0.0 you'll loose your pod if your not fast enough to warp off
PvP cost a lot of isk, you'll just need to make sure that you have enough isk to buy couple of ships, fittings to them and new clone for you always
Right. You just attack if you're sure you'll win. So where's the risk? And where's the fun? What kind of pleasure you get when you pod-kill someone who's neutral to you, and you don't even know who he is?
Do you pod-kill everyone? How about if the player is member of some big corp, still podding?? Why not? It's fun as you said.
I have seen your type of players in every mmorpg i have played. They attack "lower level" (in this case lower skilled and smaller ship) players and they feel so strong about it. I guess you'll feel strong and powerfull too, you have killed lots of easy targets. Good job.
My 2 isk.
You, obviously, have no idea what you're talking about.
There are few neutrals in 0.0.
For every weak player you kill, 3 stronger ones will kill you.

I probably did not elaborate enough on 0.0. It is much more complex than I stated.
Its certainly not all PvP--and most PvP consists less of actual combat and more of politics.
Some alliances have stayed out of war for months simply through good politics and treaties.

I understand if i'm their enemy, so they want my blood but why kill neutral players or somebody who is not an enemy?
Btw, some alliances kill neutrals because they may be scouts/spies for their enemies. Some others do it because they charge a fee to fly in 'their' space and you wanna make sure people pay.
The main reason is because of what happened to CFS.
The Coalition of Free Stars was the final attempt at a free space alliance, completely open to neutrals.
CFS failed miserably. It collapsed from within and without. Nobody wants to defend an alliance's space if they see 1000 other people mining and NPCing there who don't have to do anything to defend the region. And thus became the modern alliance.
