Bounty Hunting weirdness
Apparently killing UIT nationals with high standing at a Corvus station (in consensual fights, no less) prompts UIT to place a bounty on one's head. One of the nationals was Admired with UIT, the other was Disliked. I thought part of the point with Corvus was that they don't really care what you do, so it would be weird for them to put a bounty on someone for that reason, but for UIT to do so...that's messed up.
Also, when I killed them multiple times the message was always "A 950000 credit bounty has been placed on your head." with the number incrementing by 10000 credit jumps. This was very unclear, and I kept looking to see if I now had a 1900000 credit bounty, or whatever.
Finally, the bounty number on my character page never went up, even as I was informed I was getting higher and higher bounties. Similarly, the number of bounty hunters I killed (one of the people who was giving me the bounties was also a bounty hunter) stayed at 1. I expected some delay for it to show on my character page, but this was over 10 minutes of it not updating.

Aye, this shouldn't happen anywhere in grey space. As far as I know, this is a bug.
And bounties should probably increment at a lesser degree, too. One kill outside of a Corvus NFZ and I'm maxed out, with 1,000,000cr on my head... but that should 'prolly go to the suggestions forum.

It's not a bug, station sectors are monitored. Maybe Corvus ones shouldn't be, but they are, hence not a bug.
Corvus don't care what you do to their pilots, but maybe had to tell the UiT on you because Corvus are a corporation, and not pirates? Also bounties are now *capped* at some figure (can't remember the number, but I bet it's the number you reached) to stop people like myself getting 13 million credit bounties every week.
Anyway, I agree that maybe kills in Corvus space shouldn't count, but right now, if a sector is monitored, it will count towards a bounty.

Someone told me it's a million from each nation, and that seemed to jive with my highest bounty.
this thread belongs to suggestion forum..
The bit about UIT bounties in Corvus, maybe. The second is a greyer area, and the last is definitely a bug.
