The Retribution patch included a revamp of the bounty hunting system. Ever since the launch of Eve, any bounty can be simply collected by the target's alt. Whoever placed the bounty, hoping to have the target blown up, simply donated isk to the target.

The new system that came with Retribution, now has a chance for the bounty's target to cry "tears of fear and frustration." -CCP SoniClover

=Finding a Bounty=
=Mechanics=
You can find characters with bounties (henceforth referred to as targets) in:


*Bill Boards (usually around stargates)
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.
*Bounty Office (station service)


=Placing a Bounty=
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 loss value'', 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 reward is 20% of the loss value or whatever is left in the bounty pool, if it is less than 20%.
Bounties can be placed from anywhere to anyone (excluding CPP, NPC, ISD) regardless of security status.


Minimum amounts for placing bounties are as follows:
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.


*Alliances: 100mil
Only the hunter who fires the final blow claims the bounty. If, however, that hunter is 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 in the kill report though.
*Corporations: 50mil
*Character: 100k


Although you can't place a bounty on an NPC corp, you can place a bounty on someone in that NPC corp.
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.


"Note that bounties are paid out for anything that creates a kill report, so you’ll get bounty paid for destroying for instance a POS belonging to a corporation that has a bounty placed on it." -CCP SoniClover
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.


=Mechanics=
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.


The new bounty system only pays a portion of the bounty at a time. The amount paid is based on the target's isk loss. eg. blowing up the shuttle with a 100mil target won't pay as much as blowing up a battleship with a 100mil target. The base number is 20% or whatever is left in the bounty pool if it's less than 20%.
=Finding a Bounty=
You can find characters with bounties in:


Bounties have no effect on who can be attacked legally where. So if a target (without a suspect or criminal flag) has a 100bil 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.
*Bill Boards (usually around stargates)
*Bounty Office (Neocom-> Activities-> Bounty Office)


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.
=Placing a Bounty=
Bounties can be placed from anywhere to anyone (excluding CPP, NPC, ISD) regardless of security status.


The old system only paid bounties upon pod destruction. The new system includes the target's ship value AND the target's implant value when the pod is destroyed. Thus if you blow up the target's ship and the pod, you get paid twice (20% of ship value and 20% of implant value)
Minimum amounts for placing bounties are as follows:


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.
*Alliances: 100mil
*Corporations: 20mil
*Character: 1mil


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
Although you can't place a bounty on an NPC corp, you can place a bounty on someone in that NPC corp. Bounties can not be placed on characters that are under 30 days old.

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.
