I recently heard about EVE online and have been playing for the last 3 months.
I took the career quiz, and got the bounty hunter career.
Where do I start?
I was looking at the bounty board, and saw some pretty impressive bounties.
The only problem is after doing some math, I discovered that I will actually be losing money in my career as a bounty hunter. And most of the targets with Bounties are protected by concord even though they are notorious criminals.
Any tips of becoming a sucessful bounty hunter?
I tried messaging some of the top ones, but they never responded.
How do I become a famous bounty hunter? |

Bounty hunting isn't really a viable profession, sorry.
The last change to the bounty system prevented the system from being abused (oh the irony), but it also made it somewhat useless. eve is dying |

I emailed your CEO the other week about bounty hunting as you are the top bounty hunters in the game.
Unfortunately he didn't reply.

Ok. So, people have said you need MTU's to be a good bounty hunter. Is that to scoop the loot from the victim?
I bought 100 from Jita and put them down around the station. Do I just start shooting people with bounties, and let the mtus suck up the loot?
I email the space guy as well when I mailed goons, but he didn't respond eitheir. |

Yeah this is pretty much how it works. Setup your overview to show the little skulls and turn your stoplight to red. Now you have to be fast, but as soon as you see someone that's in range, tap F1, then click their name on the overview.
Boom, instant isk straight to your wallet.

I must not be understanding something.
There was a player with a 500 mil bounty, I shot at him with my Ishtar, but then the police came and killed me and blew up all my mtus.
There must be a better way than this because I am just losing money. |

The Advertisements for EVE said you could make a career out of bounty hunting. I just shot at a guy with a 250 mil bounty, but his ship was only worth 100,000 ISK, so I only made 20,000 and lost my Tornado..... How do people make money???

wheniaminspace is actually Boba Fett, the greatest bounty hunter in the universe. His return has been prophecised in the holy book.
Fett made his most notable bounty in Jita, when he captured Rebel hero group CODE. alliance, and delivered him to Jabba the Hutt. A day later, during the Battle of the Great Pit of Carkoon, Fett fought against the group of employed oppressors. However, he was inadvertently knocked into the mouth of the Sarlacc by grimmi. Though no one in recorded history had ever escaped from the Sarlacc, Fett was able to escape, though not unscathed. Thanks to his iron will and Mandalorian armor, he was able to fight his way out of the beast's belly. Back in action, he resumed his work as a bounty hunter. |
