I have an dream for a human bounty broker who can issue real time bounties on Commanders who carry out criminal activity within the Elite Universe. I am not talking about the useless in game bounty system, I am talking about a human 3rd party run bounty system where you can issue bounties on Commanders who have wronged you.

I have developed a document detailing this dream to the best of my ability. I have edited and re-edited the document several times now and I have taken the development of the idea as far as my imagination can take me. Please help me. Please read the document and comment (constructive only please) on it. I have attached a hardcopy of the document to this thread but I also include a google docs link which allows anyone to leave their comments in the margins.

Really looking for feedback, developement of ideas and simular things.

I admit I only skimmed it, so what you are basically proposing is that players pay another player for what is basically a hit on a third player. This person receiving the money is then supposed to add this to a spreadsheet and dole this cash out to someone who claims that they carried out the hit.

There's a whole lot of trust on someone who would just be sitting on huge funds and is expected to run an admin job rather than playing the game.

I read the document and can see that a lot of thought has gone into it and it is well presented. But…

How do you propose to control the activity? Will it be across all modes, open or a private group? I can see a PG working, where you can do whatever you want as there is implied consent when you enter it. Open, a bit more problematic. What’s to stop bounties being put on noobs just out of the starter zone, just for badness? How would an innocent PvE’er know about your db and who will pay for its upkeep? Who would be in charge and appoint brokers?

It’s not for me as I’m a PvE’er but… Good luck with it if it is in its own group.
