That's not true. Let's say without a KWS, an Anaconda's bounty shows as 200k. The KWS will push it up to about 260k. That can be doubled if you reach level 5 PP, so it increases to 520K of which 10% won't show in the bounty claims above because they have to be claimed in Empire/Alliance space, so the 520K goes down to 480k. That's 240% of the original bounty, not 400%.
For all you skeptics, those claims are genuine, and the above has reminded me that there's another 10% still waiting to be claimed.
As a few of you have asked, I'm not going to make it easy by spelling it out in detail, but I'll give some clues: First, you need level 5 PP and a KWS for the 240% increase. Without it, the 400 million payout would only have been 170 million, although that's still a lot of bounty money. The next thing you need to do is go to a HI RES and do everything you can to encourage the pirates to come. I'm sure that if you do a bit of research, you can find out what to do for that. Then one more thing: There's a clue in this picture that shows the pirates swarming in. That's six Clippers in front of me and there's another six big ships behind me, all waiting to die:

Why do you leave us wanting like this?
The PP rank 5 won't happen for me, but 20% still helps, and I think I see the trick now. I'll give it a shot. Thanks.
Agree completely, 100% with this. It needs to happen.This is one of the reasons I really want module storage in the game. For example: the Anaconda is a great multi-roll ship. However, outfitting it for different roles is a huge hassle. Because if how expensive outfitting the Anaconda is I always buy parts for it in Li space. That's means if I want to change my Conda from, say, combat fitted to exploration, I have to fly all the way to Li space just to outfit it or I'll lose money. Same goes for when I outfit it for combat again. 15% is huge when you're equiping modles that costs between 50m-160m. If I could store my modules while changing loud outs the issue would be solved, but with selling then as the only option I have no choice but to a) travel 170Ly every time I want to reoutfit my ship, or b) take a substantial hit money wise and wonder why I even bothered to outfit it at 15% discount to begin with.
Welp, you already lost me. I was really hoping to learn about a way that didn't turn ED into my second job.
But hey, thanks for posting it up anyway for those who are interested. I just don't have the time, patience, or will for Rank 5 PP.
Yep.
