How does one get a bounty of 15?

If for some strange reason you start with 0 bounty.
Sometimes I start with 0. Can't figure why.

yeah, that's normal. but being able to get 15 bounty isnt

Why? You get 15 bounty per kill.
Actually, you should start with a 30 bounty. That's "how" people get 45 bounties.

Yeah, I was just lazy and set the initial bounty upon character creation to 0. The whole bounty system needs to be revised (or just removed totally in favor of something based on factions or something).

How about bounty = 5% of the total score?
Its simple and easy to code...
and it will also reduces n00b killing.

Giving a fixed % of score to others would discourage players from accumulating a high score.

What if instead, your bounty starts at 0, and each kill you make raises it by some % of your own score. So if you're a high scoring skilled player, then killing others makes you an attractive kill. But if you're a newbie, botting for hard $ won't earn you a high bounty.

As a bonus, this system is hard to abuse since only high scored players could 'give away' points, and only a fraction at a time, and only after doing some botting. So there'll be no killing dozens of cheap busses for high bounties (and then scores), cuz the bus wont have any points to take a % of.

I like bounty bot's idea.

yeah..... like when I kill Phoenix I should get more than 40 credits for my effort. That won't even pay for a sunflare!

ahh but think of the satisfaction camps :)
