Bounty Hunters are just flying around killing every Hacker, Rogue, Xeno and Outcast. Which should be removed to make Bounty Hunters think about who they kill and not just shoot anyone with that ID for (almost) nothing.
We know what you mean; we just don't agree with you.
And they aren't shooting you for nothing - they're shooting you for being a criminal. Suck it up. Or become a junker. Alternatively go play a bounty hunter for a while and show us how it's done.
Honestly, pirates ought to stop snivelling. You don't see lawful characters demanding rules changes because their trader got pirated and destroyed or because their police character got shot up by pirates.
edit: What ProwlerPC saod. The bounties are specific enough to prevent GBs chasing you in Liberty. Which is pretty mild considering the roaming herds of cattlebruisers around NY back in the old days.
