Lets push to add a real anti pirate angle. Have the ability to auction off Kill Rights threw contracts. Then the bounties have a real meening. Real Bounty Hunters can buy these rights and be able to pop them anywhere because they bought the contract(Kill Rights). Why should RATS have all the fun.

I think this is a good idea. Perhaps also boost the lengt of the kill rights. A one month long kill right do not sound to long to me.

What about selling killrights on me! I see it from your point of view, but If I offered more money ;) |

The contracts can be auctioned, only problem with that instead of 4 weeks of hunting you only get 3.

Transferable killrights has been suggested since they were introduced .. in fact before that when they were being discussed.
I really have no idea what good reason stands in the way of them.

This idea has been suggested many times (by me, among others).
It has many serious virtues, and no serious flaws.
Not holding my breath on it. Fortunately for me, I spend about 90% of my time in 0.0.
Play nice while you butcher each other.

Transferable killrights would be the only real way to make "bounty hunting" a real profession, doing away with the bounties as they are now and enable the sale of killrights would be interesting indeed.

Keep the bounties then the Kill Rights are worth more on the open market.

Just one of many fine suggestions to deal with the current crisis. In fact, there are so many good ideas on the forums at the moment, it's really weird that none of them are being implemented and we are still stuck with the current crisis!

It wouldn't create any lag so surely it cannot be a good game feature.
Being able to buy & sell killrights would be awesome, it would be even more awesome if the bounty system for an overhaul. -----

i agree with this, its would be a perfect way to bring the bounty hunting profession into the light. I'd be up for it, there would just need to be away that the target will be able to take out the pilot who won the auction, so that its fair.
Also auctions would not be able to be done from a trail account to stop people spamming auctions, and possible a new set of skills to allow either multipul contracts or groups contract auctions ================================================ |

Dev's already said they have changes to the bounty hunting system on the drawing board. Trading kill rights is one option being considered.

I am strongly in favour of this excellent idea.
Simply make kill rights tradable via contracts and let the market decide what bounties should be. Actually, quite a lot of players would probably pay for kill rights against the right targets.
CONCORD provide consequences, not safety; only you can do that. |

I honestly dont see the point of kill rights. 99% of the people you get killrights on are outlaw anyway, so they're free to shoot.

Thanks for that response.
A shame though, that with the forum in such a gank vs bear mess, we have to listen to 41 minutes of audio just to get the answer that "they're working on it."

Someone kindly paraphrased the contents on the audio into a handy text format that would allow you to get the juicy bits from it quickly.

This will not work.
Want to know why?
Everyone and their mother will create one day old alts and go afk in lowsec-nullsec farming killrights. It won't work, it will be exploited and there is no way to stop it short of denying < 3 month old characters killrights or denying them trade of such killrights.

The following may or may not be a problem:
The only significant issue I see this being a problem of is that it could create "Bounty Farmers".
There are bountys out there that are litterally in the billions, imagine how much that would translate into RL currency if isk sellers got ahold of it?
I see this situation happening:
Pirate A with a 50 million bounty is flying around in low sec doing his thing. Suddenly he sees an easy target happyly mining a belt. He flys over, destroys the ship and pops the pod. Easy target turns out to have been chinese bait. bait "sells" his kill right to his fellows in powerful ships with powerful characters and they hunt down Pirate A, find him and kill him.
Considering that it only takes a level 3 or 4 agent to track someone down in the entire galaxy no one would be safe unless they are constantly on the move. Further more, this would be hard pressed if not impossible to determine if it were isk miners or not (considering that there are many isk miners who have hulks it is obivous that there is a system in place that allows the money maker characters to have some distance from the money seller accounts, this would be no diffrent).
Situation B:
Big battle taking place. Some of the individuals have bounties on their heads and are using field weaponry (FOF's, Smartbombs, etc). Suddenly, a flock of shuttles or throw away ships warp in and start aggressively orbiting these players. They get hit and killed in the cross fire. Suddenly though, Player B with a bounty on his head has several contracted kill rights on his head and the chinese money collectors are hot on his trail to collect the reward on his head.
I think that unless those two situations can be resolved that transfering bounties between players will not happen.
1. Isk sellers would quickly capitalize on such a new feature. because the bounty system lists the top 50 or so bounty heads, the ISK sellers would have a list of good hits merely a station equiped with a bounty office away. whats worse, it would be next to impossible, in my opinion, to track them down as they would be using completely legal means.
2. It would be a grief tool of epic proportions. Got someone you dont like? trick him or find out when hes using a smart bomb, get killed and then put a bounty on his head.
I may be completely talking out of my butt here but I really think that unless there is some sort of system of control on a way a kill right is transfered that being able to sell or trade kill rights would be the perfect game mechanic for isk sellers.

It only aplies to kills that happen in .5 and up. This is a direct attemp to acually have a punishment to suicide ganking. Sorry to blow up the bubble again.

That takes away 99% of the killrights then doesn't it?
All it leaves is suicide gankers, which are already player X's alt/2nd account anyway, so why would he care if someone was auctioning his alts killrights?
If you had said 0.5 and upwards from your first post it would not have gotten so many replies. This idea will not work, whatever way you look at it. --------------------------
