Encounter Surveillance System: Difference between revisions

Line 42:

The Main Bank is where 40% of the bounties generated in the solar system by players will be retained, rather than going directly into the player's wallet. It is paid out every 2h45min if no one steals it in that time period. It is paid out, independently on whether the capsuleer that contributed to the main bank bounty is in the system or even online.

~~It is accessed~~ by sitting within 10km of the ESS and selecting the 'Link' button which appears over the ESS. This initiates a countdown of six minutes, which is visible to all pilots in the solar system concerned. During the countdown the pilot accessing the Main Bank must remain within 10km of the ESS; traveling further away will end the countdown, which must then be restarted from the beginning. Linking to the ESS gives the linked pilot a 60-second [[Timers#Weapon_Timer|weapon timer]].

To drain the Main Bank before the timer runs out, one has to enter the ESS grid by sitting within 10km of the ESS and selecting the 'Link' button which appears over the ESS. This initiates a countdown of six minutes, which is visible to all pilots in the solar system concerned. During the countdown the pilot accessing the Main Bank must remain within 10km of the ESS; traveling further away will end the countdown, which must then be restarted from the beginning. Linking to the ESS gives the linked pilot a 60-second [[Timers#Weapon_Timer|weapon timer]].

If the countdown reaches zero and the pilot accessing the ESS has not either left or been removed by enemy action, the accessing pilot then receives tags in their cargohold which can be exchanged for about four-fifths of the value of the Main Bank's contents at any CONCORD station. All of the ISK stored up to be disbursed to pilots who had been ratting in the system is removed. (The thief only receives most, rather than all, of the Main Bank to dissuade local inhabitants from looting their own ESS.)
