Cocnerning bounties

[... kur nubėgo?]

Hi.

Half of your argument has been in effect for months. Any board which allows BHG to collect does not require registration by BHG ID players. It's simply implied unless explicitly stated to the contrary. So I dunno what the fuss is there.

-Daumann bounty board (lawful) requires registration of indi BHG ID characters (contract details)
-Ageira bounty board (lawful) requires registration of indi BHG ID chracters (contract details)
-Liberty bounty board (lawful) requires registration of indi BHG ID chracters (contract details)
-Bretonia bounty board (lawful) requires registration of indi BHG ID chracters. (contract details)
.. and there is plenty more. You gave discretionary right to ask for registration if they want. And it's used mainly everywhere.

How does that differ from indi mercinary who must register just the same as bhg id char? What advantage BH player who is rectricted from the start gains in this scenario compared to merc id pilot who is free to pick jobs and take sides as he wants (wider course of action can be taken, similiar to wider zoi)

The nature of the current bounty board is the result of many years of observation. A server where persons who can hunt anywhere in Sirius, Mercs and FL alike, stepping over ZOI boundaries that restrict others best do so at the request/permission of other groups. You're essentially being paid by that group to serve as a proxy representation of their faction

All that's asked of the hunter is that they fulfill the least of their obligations in the form of collecting the bounty for which they are signed up. While I would like to say that this restricts "eternal bounties" it's really more of a stopgap on the hunter's end. A tradeoff for the immense freedoms provided.

We've had a server where no one needed to collect bounties. We have a server where you need to collect bounties. Generally the current situation is deemed superior by everyone save those persons who wish to kill in the name of a bounty they never intend to collect upon.

I know, remember the old times. BH bugged gunships and capital warships .. attacking everyone with or without bounty placed. In my decribed scenario the bounty on the target exist as mandatory thing. But now warships of BH are restricted to certain systems. And there is no blanket bounties on outcasts in alpha and on corsairs in gamma or their homeworlds by lawful authorities.


For those who still think "BH are okey" ... please try to remember the last time you've been engaged by BH id'ed character (Core doesn't count). And then was the last time then you were engaged by merc id'ed pilot?

In short, generic mercinaries are pushing out entire npc faction whith it's lore and everything.
