as in. Just -which- actions puts a nation to place bounties on your head?

I killed Spellcast over and over and got a 200k bounty.

yea but it didnt work the other way. i killed you repeatedly and got no bounty.

Well the Itani are supposed to be more forgiving than the Serco ;)

It might be that you do not get a bounty if you are a bounty hunter yourself. Any dev wants to clarify this?

You get a bounty slapped on your head regardless of whether you are a licensed bounty hunter or not.

I should have one then right? do i get some special *nations hate you anyway* get out free card? ...lol <-- shot more people and bots inside UIT, i dont yet know if i have a nation set bounty or not, but I should.

I don't believe the stats are retro-active. You'll need to kill a lot of people from now on in order to get a bounty placed on your head.

I'm not so sure this is working... Andreas (Itani) let me kill him a few times, and after about 5-10 kills I got a 200k bounty put on my head. I then went and shot up some more (innocent) Itani, some would cause the bounty to increase, some would not. Unfortunately, I can't determine if this behaviour is sector or player related. Note also that I am -920 (Hate) itani rating. Now what confuses me is that I killed far more UIT (buses / n00bs / everything) even in UIT space. I'm -1000 (KoS) with UIT and yet no bounty... ???

PS: I'm actually liking the bounty system even though it is harsh that I *could* lose 5% of my stats. Makes things a bit more interesting at least.

killed like somewhere between 5-15 UIT and Serco players and still no bounty on my head.... Not that im complaining. Im just sayin, the bounty system is wierd.
