the moment they go below -5 sec, or if its in low sec.
A bounty is placed by a player, until the pirate does something REALLY bad, it wouldn't be fair to just let you kill everyone.

You can if their sec status is < -5. Question: Can I place a bounty on anyone? Even if their sec status is +10?

Bounties would simply be much more useful if you could search through them like you can items on escrow.
Then you could see who you can take, and begin the hunt.
I like how the bounties are in secured space. Would you kill a guy in an airport or near a police station? Makes sense. Balanced by the fact that to make any decent money, or use any decent agent you have to go into low sectors. If youre patient and smart, you will eventually catch your prey.
Although i am excited to see the bounty changes/upgrades in the Kali expansion.

It is a silly system.

It's not really a silly system...
Think about it. Lets say I'm in a squad with my corp doing a pvp op to secure some system. Lets say I have a 40 mil bounty on my head...
Now lets say my squadron runs into another squadron. The other squad may make me primary simply because I have a big ass bounty on my pod. This causes problems for me, which is the cause of a bounty being placed in the first place.
Okay, so why dont i just collect with an alt? Probably because I have several hundred million in implants that I dont want to lose.
(I dont have any implants, or bounty on my pod... im just giving an example)

It would be nice if putting a bounty on someone's head meant you got a killmail notification when they went down. Then you could properly reward individuals manually.

Clone jump. 0.0 Stations offer the service now for between 25-50 million. Bounties work less well than ever before.

Bounties are only useful if you know how much the pirates head is worth.
I'm sure there are plenty of pirates who will have to pay out over a hundred mil if they get podded. So bounties sort of make sense now.
Sorry, I know this has nothing to do with the OP.

I find my bounty to be quite usefull actually.
In Fact, I've noticed that the bigger my bounty, the more people are intimidated by me, and the more likley they are to pay for a travel pass, or to pay the ransom.
AS a matter of fact, when my bounty exceeds 20m, even other pirates tend to run and hide.
So no, the bounty system is not useless.. it's just usless for your purposes.

How are jump clones effected by bounties?
I.E Player has big bounty and has lots of implants.
Player switches to a jump clone.
Player loses his bounty
Player jumps back to his main clone

it doesn't affect jumpclones.
because when you jump clone your clone lives.
if you get podded (capsule loss not ship loss, [for those who think being podded is losing a ship]) Thats when bounty pays out. Jumping to another clone keeps bounty because you didn't lose a clone.

So, if you have a large bounty on your head and a head full of implants, you can use your jump-clone (leaving the implants behind in tact), pod yourself with your alt to collect the bounty and jump back to get your implants back in your head ?
Sounds like a messed up system to me tbh...

OK I don't get it. How do you pod yourself with your alt?

I'd assume they'd use two accounts to do it. Probably use two compies at the same time aswell.
Granted I don't think CCP would be overly happy if you were podding yourself...

I feel that a high bounty can be a useful indication of not only how genuinely intimidating and dangerous a pirate is (since, as I understand it, a -10.0 sec status or thereabouts is pretty easy to rack up without doing anything truly diabolical or being particularly skilled, and thus sec status on its own doesn't tell you exactly how dangerous a person is), but also of a pirate's attitude towards themselves and their profession. A pirate who receives a high bounty but doesn't have an alt or ally cash it in strikes me as someone with a sense of integrity, who takes pride in their work and sees the value of maintaining their reputation over simply seeking immediate material gain - I'd take the word of a pirate with a 50M ISK bounty with far fewer reservations than I would the word of a pirate with no bounty, which of course is going to factor in to how willing I am to try and bribe my way out of trouble or pay ransom if it's demanded. (I'm not foolish enough to assume that any pirate, high bounty or none, is necessarily going to demand a ransom instead of just killing me)
As always, this would be a generalisation, not an absolute rule - but am I speculating along the right lines here, or just setting myself up for a knife in the back by assuming integrity where none exists?

Sense of integrity... or do they just love that skull and crossbones on the overview?
You decide...

Wow, that is messed up...I hope that doesn't work. But I can't see how it wouldn't.

From my experience thats not really true, I usually just go after battleships and never get a bounty placed, I go kill an empty indy and he sticks 15mil on
Chode goes around, kills a few faction bs, lots of mission runners and gets nothing. He kills a small mining op causing really crap dmg to the victim and has a 20mil isk bounty placed
Myal Terego told a guy to shut up and the fella placed a 20mil bounty on his head
Maybe from the outside it looks like they did something really nasty to get their bounty, but in truth I could come up with a long list of people that have bountys cause some1 left game or that a friend put on a 13,370,000 bounty on just for fun so the pirate could be the butt of many jokes about how 1337 hes not.

In a recent TDG gatecamp in rancer I increased someone's safe-passage fee with some millions cause he was smacktalking (and he was from France as well!). As a result instead of him paying the passage fee I got my bounty raised with 3 million.
