Still think PvP bounty hunting/ganking needs a rework. If a player has racked up a giant bounty then a hunter should get that entire profit. If the bounty is from multiple jurisdictions then make them redeem it from an interstellar contact like every other bounty. And of course if someone wants to be a ganker, make them pay insurance costs and galactic average cargo costs of the player they kill. And crank up the fines on gankers that kill another player so that it actually means something

[@southishtheone]

There's a discord where you can put your own personal bounty on a player. Seen them go as high as 10bil for a pvp kill.

[@craigtheworst7202]

Why would you make gankers pay a fine in game? You trying to deinsentivize pvp? Cause that's one step above just toggling pvp on/off in a game. If you put pvp in a game and you punish people for pvping then people will eventually stop pvping and the ones that continue will just be ganged up on. I agree, the hunter should get the full bounty though.

[@garethlawton5278]

[@sirbobybob]

Why the heck did you only get 13 Million credits when it was worth 283? Cmon, shoulda atleast given you 50 million Credits or something.

[@Webgear]

It's FDev's way of making sure your friend who just bought the game doesn't claim your huge bounty and become instantly rich. 2 Million credits per system is the maximum a bounty hunter can claim from a player. So if a player has racked up 20 Million, but evenly it's split between Sol and Shinrarta for example, the BH get 4 Million total. Then Interstellar factors takes a 25% cut.

Never go head to head combat with a krait

[@chrischilders5687]

If new players careful follow the tutorials on KZbin, they can already make 283 mil relatively easily. Putting artificial constraints in the game is a great way to diminish the sense of immersion and frankly piss people off. I’m assuming once the player is killed, the bounty resets to zero, so who cares who gets it? It’s not like that is enough money to unbalance the game. Why allow the bounty to grow that high if it can never be claimed?

[@cmdrdyland]

because two people could sit and claim each other's bounties over and over until they are so rich its unrealistic

[@1PokerMan]

He has no idea of ​​piloting the one in the corvetta

1- forgot the hack activated little friend, 2- not to mention that your opponent is an idiot, interdicting a ship that runs faster than him would always be a target next to him ^^ 3- you don't gank an idiot who uses pylon, they use shitty ships, and it is guaranteed by the opponent's luck and lack of skill...

Even some of the most shit-tier gankers know how to evade torpedoes. Any ship can outrun them, and most ships can shoot them down without any special equipment. If you don't want to risk it, just low-wake out after you see them launched. Even if you get interdicted again, the torpedoes are already gone.
