The new bounty system only pays a portion of the bounty at a time. The '''amount paid is at most a percentage of the target's value loss'''. eg. blowing up the shuttle with a 100 millions bounty target won't pay as much as blowing up a battleship with the same 100 millions bounty target. The number is 20% of the target's value loss or whatever is left in the bounty pool if it's less than 20%. | |||
Bounties '''have no effect on who can be attacked legally where'''. So if a target (without a suspect or criminal flag) has a 100 billions bounty and is sitting in a shuttle in hi-sec, shooting the shuttle will get you killed by [[CONCORD]]. And since a shuttle isn't worth that much you're not likely to receive a large portion. | |||
The ship's value also includes any lost modules. So if that 100bil bounty in a t2 frigate had very shiny (expensive) modules. It might be worth [[suicide ganking]] if in hi-sec. | |||
The old system only paid bounties upon pod destruction. The new system consider destroying target's ship and destroying target's pod as 2 separate events, each can have bounty reward, for pod destruction the target's [[implant]] value is counted as the value destroyed. Thus if you blow up the target's ship and the pod, you get paid twice (20% of ship value then 20% of implant value) | |||
Only the hunter who fired the final blow claims the bounty. However, if that hunter was in a fleet, the entire fleet shares the bounty. Say 'Fleet A' does 99% damage to a target, and 'Fleet B' warps in to finish it off. Only 'Fleet B' would claim the bounty. Both fleets would show up on the kill report though. | |||
If a target has been inactive (unsubscribed) for a long time, the bounty pool will be removed and a portion returned to those who've placed the bounties | |||
The characters with top bounties (targets on the Most Wanted list) will be ranked. The ranking will give a bonus to the payout when the target is killed. | |||
If a target's corp and alliance also have bounties and you kill the target, the target's bounty pool is drained first. Next is the corp pool and then the alliance pool. | |||
If you're engaged in battle with a target and he self-destructs or is killed by CONCORD, you'll still get the bounty. Since the 'final blow' wasn't dealt by a hunter, the hunter who inflicted the most damage will receive the bounty. | |||
