I think it would be nice to be able to select a merc in game, and put a bounty on his head for killing him X amount of times, the first person to accomplice this feat would get the isk that you have prepaid when you placed the bounty on his head. There could be a board up in your merc quarters which you could select a few bounties to hunt from at a time.
Any thoughts? |

Doesn't really make any sense to put bounties on undead clones which are technically equivalent to "remote combat drones" where the person controlling it cannot die. |

Its a good idea but people could abuse it to troll the crap out of others, I think bounties for winning FW games would be a lot better. Also there is no actual benefit from ensuring somebodies death in battle unless it is a really good player that would actually have the potential to change the tide of the battle, but again that would only benefit in FW or PC battles. |

Have to agree with this. The mindset of the future would probably just realize that is a joke; although, EVE online does precisely the same thing, so this is up in the air. |

In EVE online, if you are podded then you have to replace an extremely expensive clone and if it is not updated enough (the clone) then you can make someone lose SP, and it is possible to ruin someone financially in that game unlike who-cares-DUST 514 where you are expected to die.
EVE is built upon Survival.
DUST 514 is built upon Death. |

It's not about the killing, really, just the mild annoyance of having to replace a clone and vengeance. Basically, the warfare in Eve/Dust is all about attrition. |

It's also knowing that whatever you are flying suddenly has an increased risk of being ganked, which can be stressful if you ever fly expensive fits. |

interesting, we would have to be able to actually find the target though instead of just going into random pub matches and hoping to find them on the opposite team and actually run into that specific person on the battlefield. |

There was a discussion about this not too long ago. The best bounty system that can be implemented and isn't exploitable in any big way is that of the Eve Online bounty system.
1. Player A slaps a 100 million ISK bounty on Player B.
2. Player C kills Player B.
3. Player B lost 10 million ISK worth of items.
4. System deducts 20% of the loss value from Player B's bounty pool and awards it to Player C.
5. Player C goes home with 2 million ISK.
6. Player B now has a 98 million ISK bounty on him.
Simple and effective. All you have to do is applying to Dust with dropsuits and modules and we are set. |

You have a higher likelihood of finding him in faction warfare matches since they don't come up as often as regular pub matches. Although I would love to see a system in place where we can follow a bounty into a match. |

You would be effectively putting the bounty on their suit.
In the same way that EvE bounties are about destroying the Ship the pilot is in (payouts are based on the value of the ship they are flying) or the, hopefully, expensive pod they are using. |

I suggested bounties in the feedback forums.
the general consuses was to mimic eve bounties, if you put a 1 million isk bounty on a player, the people getting him will get a portion of that based on what fitting he was wearing at the time he died.
so a 200k fit is destroyed the killer would get 40% of that at 80k until the bounty has been fully paid out
the other part of my suggestion in that thread was to allow us to track and join a player who has a bounty on him.
i.e player with 25million isk bounty is showed as on, click to join his game. |

Amount of ISK destroyed is what the bounty really needs to be. |

That's no fun. I want to see people running after SoTa with those idiot guns. He gets free kills and we get to laugh our rears off |

False. They can die. Often, and repeatedly.

10 ISK? Is that all? Not even worth the trouble. Slap a 1 million ISK bounty on me and then you start seeing people chase me. |

Immortality doesn't matter. The bounty system from Eve Online works just nicely and every player in Eve is an immortal person just like in Dust. |
