i dislike the idea of restricting reasons for putting bounties on somebody i rather have a system where you could put a bounty on anybody, but with different factors that determine how resonable it is to put a bounty on someone.
TL;DR
CONCORD issuable kill license on anyone that give more than 100mil ISK bounty payout. Bounty Payout is modulated by deposited bounty, time and security status of the target.
Details
Cumulative Bounty (CB) : All Bounties paid on your head to CONCORD.
- CONCORD takes 5% of this total each weak as charge for administration.
- CONCORD takes 25m ISK of this total for each kill license as charge for administration
- other players cannot see the Cummulative Bounty, they only see EBP if its above 100m ISK
- Each player can spent maximal 100m ISK per week on bounty deposition
Effective Bounty Pay-Out (EBP) This is the reward for destroy the targets ship
- determined by CB and security status (capped between -10.0 and +5.0, above 5.0 counts as 5.0)
- formula EBP = 0.5 * CB * (+5 - sec_stat / 15)^2
- fresh sec stats means, that only 1/18th of CB is EBP, +5.0 means no EBP no-matter how high CB is, -10 means EBP=CB
- EBP is only shown to other players if its above 100m ISK
- bounty flag is only set if EBP is above 100m ISK
- Kill Licenses for a target can only be request from CONCORD Agents if current EBP is above 200m ISK
Kill License (KL) free right of aggression without sanction by CONCORD
- in addition to "normal" Kill Rights, KLs can be retrieved from CONCORD Bounty Agency for any Pilot with positive sec stat
- KL can only be issued for Pilots with >100m ISK EBP
- KL costs 50m ISK and lasts for 30 days active and additional 30 days deactivated cool-down.
- Each issued KL subtracts 25m ISK from the CB of the target.
- The target gets a mail being informed about the issued KL showing End date and Bounty Hunters Name.
- Acts similar to standard kill rights, which are also egligable to EBP if he makes the final blow
- The KL is "deactivated" by getting the final blow. EBP is payed to him and substracted from the targets CB. nevertheless the KL lasts the full 60 days to wearout, meaning that you cannot kill someone twice within 60 days.
- You can only get a KL for a target, you do not already have a KL (be it active or deactivated)
- After 60 days the KL gets completely removed from you and you can hunt this target again (if its on the list)
Kill Right (KR)free right of aggression without sanction by CONCORD
- issued to a player for free, if he was victim of a sanctionable action
- 30 days to get revenge on the aggressor without interference of CONCORD
- payout of any EBP (even under 200m ISK) for a ship kill
- completely removed on successful revenge or after 30 days
Consequences
- putting bounty on people with high sec_stat is well possible, but does not make too much sense
- you can get yourself off the bounty list by retrieving killrights on you own, but you wont get payout and it has to wearout 60 days
- you can get yourself off the bounty list via alts,
------ BUT thats expensive (costs more money than you get from EBP),
------ you need a bunch of Alts to do so,
------ and you can only do it once every 60 days.
- serveral BHs can pick the same target, but they lower the payout in doing so and eventually an overhunted target gets from this list.
- you can get aride of whole bounty hunter system if you stay nice and have a good security status
- a single victim cannot instantly put someone on the bounty list, but can get EBP because of his kill rights. So for a -10 pirate no money is not wasted, if he kills the pirate himself. If other also spent their 100m on this target, the pirate quickly becomes a target for professional BHs.
- you can kill yourself by an alt to reduce the EBP, but that would only half the total sum and you can only do it once every 60 days
I would say my concept is very "sandboxy" and would make bounty hunter profession eventually a viable business. No artificial mechanics for judgement of bounty placing |
