As long as the bounty is only paid out when equipment is destroyed, and is less than the value of the equipment, I don't see a problem with this.

Fred puts a 1 mill ISK bounty on Bob; this goes into Fred's bounty "pot".
Bob goes into a match in a 100K suit.
Jane kills Bob.
John the logi revives Bob; no payout for Jane :-(
Maurice kills Bob, who then bleeds out; 100K of gear is destroyed
Maurice gets 20K out of the 1 mill bounty pot.

Lest say someone from Imp Kills you or Trolls you and you want to get back at them in some way.

You would then search their name in-game under People & places

You then press X on their name to bring up the menu of how you want to interact (such as Info, add contact, send message and so on)

An option would be there that says GÇ£ADD BOUNTYGÇ¥ so you click it and ADD say 1 Mill ISK

Now a GÇ£WANTEDGÇ¥ sign is placed on the person that is selected profile Pic. So when he enters a match, ANY Players within that match will see this on his Pic and know if they kill him, they will earn extra ISK. (You know that Huge Screen in the War Barge that shows everyone in the match)

During the Match he will have some sort of a mark next to his Health Bar to attract a little more attention on him in order to invoke more Death upon him. This in turn will mess with his KDR, cost loss in SP that he could earn total for that match, loss in fittings and loss in ISK. The Community extracts your revenge for you.

For Players who kill him in any random PUB match, they will earn say 25% of his total gear (Dropsuit, Modules, Weapons and Equipment) within that life (and while we are at it how about they can gain some of that gear in salvage).

So if he is wearing a total of 100k in gear that means the person who kills him once will earn an additional 25k to their end total of the match (Thats a good ammount when PUB matches only pay around 250k). That 25K will come out of the bounty knocking it down from 1 mill to 999,975 ISK. Each time he is killed the same thing happens until the Bounty is completely gone.

Seeing as death is quick meaningless for us dustbunnies, I don't think a bounty mechanic would make sense. Killing redberries is the main way of interacting with them, so i don't think that you need an additional incentive to promote murdeous behaviour in dust, unlike eve, where people can and do have careers NOT focused on killing people, and where tracking down and successfully engaging is a much harder and riskier task...

Pilots use this as a ploy to steal money from noobies in EVE. Get a bounty then have someone kill you, take the bounty from your enemy; then split it with your friends. I see corp vs 1 making your bounty pointless.

Nah, I don't want to suck otu fun. In fact, I have so much fun killing redberries that I don't need an incentive to make me kill them.

But if you want to financially spice things up, how about "corporate sponsorships"?

It has been established in this thread that the loss of gear is more important than the loss of a merc.

Thus my idea: You make a contract with gear manufacturers, and everytime you kill someone using that gear, you get a provisional payment of a fraction of the worth of his gear, as your victim will havr to rebuy it. Buy killing him and destryoing his gear,you basically ensure that his supplier still has a paying customer!

Also, that way, your monetary incentive wouldn't be restricted to a single dustbunny, but to everyone using gear by that manufactuer!

Yah, bounty systems in PUB matches wouldn't work. not with the lore anyway, you're a clone and you're cheap to replace. i can just comeback and i'm not actualy dead. If anything, the company sponsourship is a much better idea. sence the gear is worth more than you.

instead it should be more twords the end of devolpment and be added to EvE and Dust once we can hitch a ride with our Pilot buddies. where you can have multipul bounty objectives such as, Capturing the ship, Taking the wanted ALIVE, a Spasific Exicution, and ect.

The bounty system could be glorious and wonderful chance for Dust and EvE players to work together.

Each time you kill someone with a bounty you earn X% of their suit, gun and fitting. This ISK is then paid out from the total bounty placed until the bounty runs out. The Idea is revenge or at lest some satisfaction for any reason you choice. Having the person marked will draw extra attention to them in game costing them more deaths and ISK in fittings.

i'm hurt, i gave you my Honest opinion and you attack me so blantently. i WANT a bounty system in Dust but i don't think it would work for Dust it self. you have to randomly be put in the same room as the person for the bounty for one so there is luck envoled. and even then, you might be working WITH him. so there gose your chance for getting the bounty in the first place.

in EvE, EVERYONE had a chance to clame the bounty, so it works there. In Dust....not so much. plus, who put a bounty on a faceless massproduced merc. they only do what they are paid to do, and they are immortal.

ok, now i'm PISSED. You are BLANTANTLY and PERPOUSFULY ignoring what i say in my posts. i said that it can not WORK in Pub matches because the team that the Target is on can not Claim the bounty. yah, that's totaly fair.
