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%~~.

The old system only paid bounties upon pod destruction. The new system consider destroying the target's ship and pod as 2 separate events, each granting a bounty reward. The ship's value includes any lost modules. For pod destruction, the target's [[implant]] value is also included in the value destroyed.

~~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 new bounty system only pays a portion of the bounty at a time. The amount awarded is ''at most a percentage of the target's value loss''. e.g. blowing up a battleship (more expensive ship) with a 100 million bounty target inside will grant a larger reward than if that same target was in a shuttle (less expensive ship).

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 reward is 20% of the target's value loss or whatever is left in the bounty pool, if it is less than 20%.

~~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)~~

Bounties do not affect the [[Timers|timer]] or [[Security status|security status]] mechanics. If a target (without a suspect or criminal flag) has a 100 million bounty and is sitting in a shuttle in high security space, shooting the shuttle will get you killed by [[CONCORD]]. Since a shuttle is an inexpensive ship, you're not likely to receive a large reward.

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

If a target's corporation and alliance also have bounties and you kill the target, the target's bounty pool is drained first, then the corporation pool, and then the alliance pool. 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.

If you're engaged in battle with a target and he self-destructs or is killed by CONCORD, you will be awarded the bounty. Since the final blow was dealt by an NPC, the capsuleer who inflicted the most damage will receive the bounty.

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.
