Whiskey Tango Foxtrot...
I've now twice had a bounty placed on my head for killing myself in order to get home... am I so popular with the grey space governments that I get penalized for killing me?
I wish this would be fixed... because I don't like the idea of losing 1% of my XP every time I get killed by someone after issuing.

To co-opt your thread, can I add a request to make it possible to do things like buswars without getting bounties? It really sucks when you're in Sedina in a buswar, then you get a bounty for killing somebody, then 2 seconds later you get killed by J. Random Player and lose 1% of xp... It happened to me and I didn't particularly realize that I had a bounty until I was already dead... Perhaps if bounty hunters had to take a contract out on a particular person or set of people from a Marshal of the government they are a bounty hunter for? That way they would need to fly back to UIT/Itani/Serco before they could kill you...
Heh. I stole a thread. I should put it back now.

actually, good addition to the thread... the whole bounty thing is a pestilence. why the XP loss anyway?
AND HOW DOES ONE GET A BOUNTY IN THE FIRST PLACE? It just doesn't make sense that for no particular reason, you get one... in corvus or unclaimed space.
and yea... did the buswar bounty thing just a little bit ago... not cool.

Ya know, if you have your buswar in a sector without a station, you won't have to worry about bounties at all. Monitored space is monitored space. Right?
Aye Nerde, and Cunjo, bounties are not always placed immediatly, its possible you got the bounty placed a few days earlier, and the bounty became active at about the same time you killed yourself. Killing things in Sedina D-14 counts towards bounties(Just because you dont take a faction hit, doesnt mean they wont tell on you :P), as does killing them in Azek J-1, however, killing them in places like Sedina B-8, Verasi C-2 doesnt, and there is a week gap between bounties from the same nation too.
A good example of this is me, every 7 days at a certain time, im almost guarenteed to get a 2 nation bounty :) simply because as soon as ones claimed, I set to working on the next one.
And as for the 1% xp loss, well, yeah, its kinda pointless, specially now its the only actualy way to lose XP in game, you dont even lose it for killing newbies now, why should you lose if for being a bad ass :D ?
[Edit]
Cunjo, Titles are everything, and looking at the title of this topic, I wouldnt relate it to a bounty system feature.
[edit 2]
You will only ever get a bounty placed by a nation that hates you, you dont want a bounty? go faction building :P

There's actually a very, very good reason for having this and under no circumstances should it be taken out. Let's just say it's there to prevent a well known and used (in the past) exploit.

Hmm, i have been here since way before day 1 of bounties, and the 1% xp loss does not stop me from bounty farming. Infact, its bounty day today sometime, anyone wanna buy it? (this bounty system never had no xploss, it was reduced to 1% from 5%, and player based bounties were removed to curb a possible exploit, namely repeatedy placing a bounty on someones head to reduce they're levels, this is NOTHING like the alpha bounty system.)
If we dont lose it for killing low level players, why should we lose if for getting a bounty ?
[edit]
woo, then we can bring back player based bounties, woo!

Player bounties shouldn't have an xp loss, since the money is coming from an actual player... however the game generates the money for gov't bounties out of nowhere, so there needs to be an xp loss to curb exploitation.
me would like to point Phaserlight to the ingame news.
Hmmm, it doesnt curb it now, maybe they should put it back up to 5%, lets face it, you only get one while hated by someone, so if you dont want one, be a good lil player eh?
You can get a bounty placed on your head for taking part in one of my bus wars. . . (even if you are not a pirate, and usually mine or trade, or somesuch)) . . .Please, do not tell me to not hold them at stations.
