BHG Discussion thread - sovereign - 07-12-2008
Right, a couple of ideas have been passed around on skype, and I have created a chat for discussing such matters. CHL has told me that hammering a rusty nail into my lower regions would be less painful and he may be right, but I feel its worth a shot.
If anyone would like to help fix the BHG into something worthy of respect and not sneering, please give me a ring on skype. My skype is sovfalcon, by the way.
Note: Before y'all ask, this will not be a faction, indies welcomed and encouraged. "Just" a group of players keeping things organized and encouraging people to fly fighters and helping move the BCs into the Omicrons- without getting too fascist. The idea is to encourage people and use threats and force only when absolutely necessary. Keep it friendly, basically.
Couple of notable things on the agenda:
- Unifying bounty boards. All bounties will be asked to go through the BHG, and may sometimes be partially subsidized to do so. As a tag along move, "fair play" will be instituted and you won't see people claim bounties on fighters with their gunships and battlecruisers.
- Getting capital ships to move to the outer systems, where they belong. They're called warships for a reason, they aren't meant to putz around hitting fighters. They will perhaps be paid to engage other capital ships, and scolded, disowned, or even fired upon if they maintain a presence within house systems (soon to be illegal in Rheinland, by the way).
- Putting more bounties out there. The Liberty Police have already bountied all criminals in Liberty (no, I'm not joking) and Rheinland will soon follow suit. Kusari shouldn't really do that since they don't like the BHG, but I'll talk to Unselie about a similar move. In addition, people may be given slight kickbacks or free escorts (allowed by the ID, here's a legit use for it) if they post bounties.
- Training good hunters. I know a lot of people use capital ships because they suck with fighters- so, we start training people to at least not flail around helplessly.
Oh yeah, my BHG is Lucy.Granger. Not fully equipped (fully repped though) yet, but I'm working on it.
EDIT: Shoot, posted this in Flood. Should probably move to General Discussions. *goes off to find moderator*

keep up the good work and let the ideas flow in

I'd be willing to help. I have to agree with Dusty Len's comment, though:D
BHG Discussion thread - Dopamino - 07-12-2008
Yeah, I'll join your group too. BHG|Johnny.Blade, BHG|Thylacine, BHG|J.Laramie and sso|Mikolas.Siegreich are all me.
BHG Discussion thread - sovereign - 07-12-2008
Dopa, do you have skype? That would be most helpful.
As for joining the group, registering at the existing BHG registry here is encouraged.
Really, what we need support with is:
A) People to offer bounties
B) People to take bounties (in fighters)
C) People to manage bounty boards and do negotiations
Start offering bounties people, blanket bounties vs. entire factions aren't unheard of, just talk to the faction leader to make sure you don't drive them off the server!

I've got a BC character. I'll join.
(I won't rename my character though.)
BHG Discussion thread - Dopamino - 07-12-2008
Nah, I don't have it and probably won't get it any time soon. Got AIM and Yahoo though.
BHG Discussion thread - ProwlerPC - 07-12-2008
I'm interested.
My char S/D-Felix was registered as an addition to the Search and Destroy Agency.
I still fly the VHF Manta.
I just downloaded Skype, callsign prowlerpc, but I still need to get a mic.
BHG Discussion thread - sovereign - 07-12-2008
We don't actually use the mic function of skype... just the IM function.
>.>
As for your BC nooblet, NCCs are unnecessary, there is no naming convention. Not a faction, like I said. A well played BC will do wonders to help show what they're for (war in the outer systems), if you keep a log I would love a link. If you don't, please start and we'll direct people to it as an example.
It would be nice if you started a fighter too, though, since we won't have capital ships doing bounties, I would pay for it myself but, eh, I'm a bit poor... very poor, actually, right now my largest ship is a Barghest (not too small to be sure, but still).
Thanks for the support, everyone.

Unifying bounty boards will not work. Corporations and houses boards should remain. Bounty Hunters may have seperate board on which they post contacts that administrators have taken from the other bounty boards. Then contracts should be distributed between guild members according to ships, setups and skill.
