It warms the cockles of my heart every time this alpha backer reads the post of a non anorak, speaking bulk sense.
Thank you.

Not sure how the AI is handicapped, when they keep on doing the same thing as always, but the player made hull damage within 10 seconds of destruction counts as last kill.
Nothing was removed, this 10 seconds was added.
I wouldn't complain, it's you aiming, not an AI with a script forcing it to aim power plant and keep on barraging.
I don't understand why people are complaining about this fix. It's clear that it needed to be done. It's not dumbing down anything. You should get the bounty for your kill, not some copper. It makes no sense otherwise.
The game is and will continue to be challenging don't worry. Especially when they balance out shield cells.

Sure, except most of the time in my experience it was security forces/authorities that were trying to kill your bounty.
I'd spend a lot of time killing a guy, and then some coppers show up and finish it, no bounty. That's annoying. If they had not shown up, I kill the guy and collect my bounty.
COPPERS DON'T WORK FOR BOUNTIES. They're NPC's who are in theory salary workers for their respective factions.

it happened to me once lesson learned, stay back and let them do the work and steal kill shot from them
the npc taught you a lesson no rule against a player doing that so learn from it only problem is knowing when target has enough and tries to leave 
Except some security vessels are not coppers, they are private security
Like I said in a previous post, if you spend a lot of time killing a guy then a whole village of security forces will show up. It's the same like ship insurance, fly only what you can afford to lose, and go after a kill that you can take down quick. Don't try to take a ship with military shields for half an hour and then get upset someone stole your kill.
It's about progression, in the begining you will have quite a few kills stolen. As you get better weapons and be choosy of targets (dont try to fight anaconda with a sidewinder with 5 security ships around) and where you attack those targets you will have less kills stolen.
It has happened to all of us.

It was a good change. I don't want NPC behaving like KS'ing players. That's why I play Solo, to avoid that type of nonsense.
NPCs are in the game for no other purpose than to provide content for players. That is literally all they are for.
Much like Tron, I fight for the users.

Fixed that for ya.
I suppose they are there just to look at.
Gets paid anyway.
You don't get a bounty.
That's kind of my point >.>

I'd probably find it really difficult to get the last hit on a ship as i'm not very skilled, but i would prefer it that way to an NPC pulling punches which is unrealistic. For my own preference, i feel the bounty should be split according to who did damage, and how much damage they did, did 60%? get 60% of the bounty.
Then its a dumb fix
I don't really see what all the fuss is about. The game got changed in order to create less frustration by players. They didn't dumb down the mechanics, the fights are still as hard (or easy) as before and the additional revenue created should actually placate some of the people who are still upset because of the rare commodities change.
The way I see it, the problem posed (i.e. the AI "stealing" bounties) could have been solved one of two ways: 1. The bounty gets split according to the inflicted damage and 2. The solution implemented. I actually would have preferred 1, because this also deals with players interfering and incentivizes helping each other out. But I guess the path taken isn't all bad.

I don't think I'm following you anymore. Are you for or against the "last hit" system we used to have?

Losing your Bounty because someone got the RANDOM last hit isn't a chalenge in any way, it's just stupid luck, nothing that involved skill. Just wait and let your Weapons cool down until the other do the work and they put your Target below 8% and then hammering all you got. Pretty lame.
If you wan't the game be challenging, then it's way more better to make the fight itself more challenging. Enemies that can fly better manouveres, have better wapons, use them more to their advantage. That's the part where the game should be hard, and not where it's just random luck.
Image all you bounties would get wiped with a 75% chance. Uhhhhhh what a "challenging" gameplay it has now, just because it's harder to get a Bounty, right? Surely not .....
The probleme here is that some confuse RANDOM LUCK with a HARD CHALLENGE.

Hilariously, I just lost a 20k bounty after expending 6k in ammo. I did 99.9% of damage. An npc stole my bounty. Even after they are supposedly not supposed to steal my bounty....
Yeah, I don't care what you people think about it being "easymode".... there is a difference between easymode and stupidity.
This, is stupidity.

QFT, these people who are proponents of this "challenge" are ridiculous.
