Ehm ... after i saw in rules Bounty notice thing ... now i am well confused
We cant place bounty in game?
We cant collect bounty from someone who placed bounty on someone in game?
I mean i fly with my Merc, Rogue puts bounty on Navy guy, i kill Navy guy and i get money from Rogue... we can't do this any more? All this in game without visiting forum or placing bounty there.
Edit: I just figured out i put this in wrong section of forum, ah well.
That was meant to fix the Bounty Hunter whoring. That they just dont fly around a kill everything they see. Saying that they have a Bounty on their head.
Thats why I hate the Blanket Bounty. They can just do that.

if you follow the rules very strict, I think you have to indeed post bounties to make em valid.
however:
if A hires B ingame to kill C it is fully ligit as soon A posts the bounty on C's head asap on the forums afterward. B can then respond there saying: 'I whacked him'. A formality more than anything, but it prevents 'you are bountied dai now pew pew' because it forces people to 'prove' they were hired.
also, if A hires B to kill C, and C can 'hear' this (meaning: he reads A's message to B saying: 'whack C for me' people tend to find this acceptable. because it's dynamic and C knows that B is hired to go after him.
Blanket bounties are to make sure that hunters/mercs/freelancers don't fly around for 3 hours looking for a target while holding a 45 page list with bountied players.
