I'm going to make this happen.
Death to pods!

revenge should not stop at the ship.

If killrights were extended to the whole corporation instead,
carebears could hire people to join their corp so they can take care of the ganker.

That would work. :)

To make this even more exciting it should be based on corp-fleet. If I dont want questionable players in my corp but would allow for a price to help me hunt down those that wronged me. That would be a noble cause to promote such wanted desired effect.

I think not only should i be hunting the described wrong doers but also any of their corp for a said given time. YOu know harboring criminals is bad for business.

Make the KRs transferable.

And make them OPENLY transferable.

Meaning that:

1. Carebear gets ganked at belt.
2. Carebear does not have time nor skills to get revenge,.
3. Carebear puts KR up on public BB in station transferring KR to anybody who would pick it up - at the bounty office perhaps if this is a subset of the bounty mechanic.
4. Carebear proceeds to Carebear it up, while the uber leet we-are-all-not-worthy-to-play-the-same-MMOs with PVPers can pick up the KR and put their money where their divine keyboards have been all these years. Perhaps some kind of special bounty system enacted whereby the KR is picked up with a fee attached such that on killing the offending player, the in-game divine creature (the PVPer) gets some kind of payout.
5. Profit?
6. On implementation, return to forums to watch high-sec griefer tears flow like a mighty river.

An awkward way to implement a good idea. Transferable kill rights ( http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Kill_rights_should_be_transferable_%28CSM%29 ) is better.

Transferable killrights in this way make no sense, because every ganker can easily obtain the kill right with an alt and just kill himself for even more profit.

The value of transferable killrights is this:

We see threads in the forums from experienced gankers describing how to "rat up" their security status. Those who do not go minus 5 can maintain a life of ganking easily by doing their ratting in high sec. They can even run LVL 4 missions across two factions (where one enemy in one mission is one pirate faction, another mission in a nearby system is another faction) and that registers when they change systems. So they can milk several level 4 missions for days ratting up good sec status.

This makes the security status hit for suicide ganking a joke.

If they could be hunted in high sec while trying to do this - and possible lowsec too since the KR goes from the hands of a carebear to someone who does not mind hunting in lowsec - this would make ratting up more difficult. This would not affect those who bot in null and only come to high sec to gank, but it would make life harder for those who are not set up in 0.0 and can take refuge there to rat up.

It would also promote PVP - and suicide gankers say they are all about PVP, and PVP is what EvE is all about, and everybody needs to HTFU. So changes in KR and transfers would give them a chance to put their ISK where their keyboards have been all these years.

Make the KRs transferable.

First and foremost, allow kill rights to be sellable to others. Possibly remove their month-long duration, or increase it to a much longer period of time. Also allow the sales to be revoked (or set time limits), to prevent the alts of "criminals" from "buying" the kill rights and making them expire/collecting them themselves.

Make the whole system work through the contracts interface. Allow the setting of such values as:

- Ships that can be destroyed to count towards contract completion
- Minimum loss values to be caused to count towards contract completion
- The reward amount
- A collateral deposit fee (can make this auction-style, to let bounty hunters make bids)

The last item on that list, the collateral deposit fee, would essentially allow the victim of a crime to recoup some of his/her losses, regardless of the bounty hunter's success or failure. Of course the reward money is coming out of the victim's wallet too, but that buys satisfaction upon the criminal's death.

Now, since this whole system would be automated by the game, when ship destruction occurs, the loss value is calculated much like current insurance prices; via some kind of real-time market index based on minerals/base T2 components/Sleeper salvage. Or just flat-out use the insurance index, and assign some kind of multiplier system for T2 and T3 ships so that the values are fairly calculated.

Make the KRs transferable.

When I first started I was under the impression kill rights meant you could pod them, I disappointed to find out otherwise.

The problem is, and always will be, alts.

If you get 500mill bounty on yourself, you can just jump to an implant clean clone then pod yourself with your alt to have alt claim the whole shebang.

How would transferrable kill rights be any different?

You mean there is absolutely no way to keep track of the alts on an account? This is a"computer" game right? Computers can do an amazing number of things these days limited only by the programmers ability.

Failsafes: do multiple accounts share the same email? Share the same pay source/credit card? Have the same IP?

it could still be exploited with corp mates or friends in other (npc) corps.

Someone is selling a KR for 500 mill on my head... so I have my alt take the job, pod my clean clone again, and 500 mill reward? Producing the dead corpse wouldn't be a problem either.

It's too easily exploitable and rewards noone but the person with the KR on their head in the end (at least if they have a shred of sense).

Not sure how to avoid alts simply grabbing the bounty / KR reward, but *that* is the single reason why bounty system is broken. If they can come up with a fix to that, then we are talking about "cleaning house" and a true bounty hunter role in the game.

Granted, you might still have the issue of KR's simply becomming yet another way to trap someone.

Then again, at the end of the day, everything in EVE could be a trap. Trying to play a bounty hunter and chasing people should mean you manage to plan and not jump in recklessly. If not, then you deserve to be podkilled in an ambush.

Oh, and any contract type of selling KR should never inform the person being hunted who has the kill right. If the person being hunted for a KR gets a notification that oh... it's no longer carebear_1435 who is chasing you but some guy in a major corp, well... so much for chasing your prey and catching them unawares.

You get a KR on your head, you should be forced to live in fear until someone jumps your ass out of nowhere. After all, you DID ask for it by getting the KR in the first place.
