Okay, I finally got around to testing the existence of the former.

Whenever you have a bounty on your head, and you kill a player in monitored space, its recorded, (going into this test I had 19 bounty hunters killed)

So I got a bounty, then found a bunch of bounty hunters to kill (or one bounty hunter a lot of times, can't remember precisely :P)

until finally, we hit 51 bounty hunters killed and decided to call it quits. Still no Medal.

Is there a medal here? or am I just grasping at nothing.

Likewise the number of bounties collected is recorded. MysticRogue is up to 7 and I've promised her my next few bounties to find out if this medal exists.

my original understanding was that these 2 medals DID exist, and so naturally, when the game started recording these two quantities, I assumed that it would lead toward them.

Give me a hint here devs, should I stop tryin to find em?
