Greetings,

I would love to see a bounty system like we have in EVE, but I can't figure out a good way to do it. In EVE the bounty is for podding, which we can't do in Dust because we aren't pod pilots.... We could do it for killing them, but is one time enough? Or does the bounty only get paid if they are killed x times in a battle, or is it paid if they are below Y K/D rate?
No, while I would love a bounty system, I can't really see a good way to do it.

Actually, as it does in EVE, this would cause the opposing team to ignore the objectives and just hunt the bounty. Okay, so only the killing shot get's the bounty, you are still going to have everyone trying for it and they will all take pot-shots in the hopes of getting the killing shot..
Still no. In EVE there is value to the bounty besides the money... They lose their ship and their implants, and possibly some of their SP, and you get to loot / salvage their ship and a kill mail, we don't have that in Dust, and unless they are using straight prototype level Aurum gear, losing one clone, or even 10, is not much of an issue for even someone as competent as Bad Furry... That is value, what you are proposing will be nothing but money transfer and grief.

take the hint from the eve players bountys are a rip off
Yes, continuing to read what these people are suggesting and I am just seeing dollar signs... Yes, please, put a bounty on my head. In EVE, I used to put bounties on my own head to get people to come try to collect the bounty... Have a friend who used to keep a 1B ISK bounty on himself. Whenever he would go back to null sec he would pull out his alt and recover his bounty, work his standings back up to 5, then go back to OMS and start all over again. IIRC he was in the Battle Clinic top 150 ship killers at one point. And no one ever collected his bounty accept his alt.
