I was looking through the notes and saw something which makes absolutely no sense at all.
****
45. 0102-07-0076 Kill Rights should be transferable
The idea of trading killrights has been knocked around internally for a long time. The two things that have held it up are the aforementioned issues with bountyhunting which tie into this and the fact that a simple killright market lets you buy your own killrights, rendering the feature largely counterproductive.
****
If you buy your own killrights, you have sent payment to the individual you killed. This is far from counterproductive.
If the killrights market were an auction market of some sort, then people who really dislike a certain person would have the opportunity to bid whatever they thought it was worth to pop them in Empire space. Make killrights transferrable 1x after auction, so nobody can know for certain, other than the one who ends up in posession of the rights, who is the hunter, or if there is a hunter at all.
Sorry. As far as I see it, a killrights auction is win-win. It would take a real effort on the part of CCP to make it not work.

I'd say auctions would make it too complicated.
Why not have kill rights set at a consistant price based on the bounty... sec status, sec penalty, etc...
You purchase it for a percentage of the cost and the player who has them gets a cut.
Something to that effect... thats quicker...and less messier. |

I like the idea of an auction killrights system because it is much more likely to generate real compensation for victims.
A canflipper who has been around a while flipping cans flips some noob and ganks them. Newb puts up the auction. Several antipirates begin bidding on the auction because the canflipper has been making a real arse of himself and they all want to kill him. One of the canflipper's friends joins in with an alt and eventually wins the auction.
Either A) the canflipper's friend just gave X isk to the noob and won't attack the canflipper, or B) he just gave X isk to the noob, and will have a _great_ deal of fun suprising his buddy sometime in the next week.
In either case the noob just got a lot of isk they would have never seen otherwise.

Well... aside from the complexities... I have to agree with that statement.. as I've personally been the victim of a few can flippers who just "flipped" me off when it comes to my ranting and ravings.

Personally I think the ability to buy/sell kill rights would be a good adition to the game.
When you have the right to kill someone why shouldn't you sell that right.
It would
A - Add Bounty Hunting into Eve on a Solo Basis
B - Give people who are killed a bit of Isk back
An auction IMO would be the best way to do this and at the end of the Auction the Kill Right is transfered to the buyer and the person who can be killed gets a notification that the right has been sold but not to whom.
On a side note I didn't think flippers generated Kill Rights because
He flips can
You can kill him for 15 mins
He can kill you for 15 mins
No Kill Right generated but I may be wrong
