PvP Holy Moley Greifioli!!!

I still don't get it what you want to say, but yesterday I was on the receiving end of C&P for the first time.

Was in my antigriefer-Courier testing a build, after an 11 hour work day. Bad idea :D

tl,dr
Shot a clean NPC, after that shot a power play enemy CMDR, after that got rekt by a bounty hunter CMDR in his FDL.
Ending 80 LY away in a detention center with a 2D FSD. Ragequit (not really, but I waited out the transfer of my good FSD).

I fly corvette frequently and I can tell you that's actually a price of a single low-level ship kill (like Viper).

NOPE...never mind, I thought 32M was big....

top guy now has 1.18 Billion!! not a typo, legit in the billions!!!

but thanks to the "crime and rip-off" system guess who won't be perusing them.... kill away my friends!! the law is on your side now!!!


I mean really, so what if people were exploiting the past system, at least in this said case it would encourage people to pursue targets!!!

for this bounty, I would of 'almost' chased him to Colonia in my 18Ly range Covette! :D

Yeah I agree. I wish there was no limit to bounties. This 2mil limit stuff is whack. So it prevents some credit exploit but at the same time it takes a lot away from the game. I’m absolutely fine if a commander makes credits this way if it means I can have a blast doing some real bounty hunting.

This would basically make it a money transfer scheme.
 
Meh. Let the losers go to private and solo! Just as they always have! Leave the ganker go and pay his paltry 32 mill off.
 
Calling all good hearted, Brave or money hungry PvPers! Anyone want to deal some cold hard justice for the little folk? and get a decent pay-check in the process (sign up to CG before hand, that sort of bounty would almost be immediate top 25-10%) :)


there is also another couple of targets below as well, 24M thereabouts decreasing to the 10's of Millions (still really good pay for a single kill, although i'd rather take on a Medusa Solo than a Dedicated PvP greifer…)


Do PvPers actually go out and fight other PvPers?

Yes, and that's probably the bulk of it from what I can gather.
There are "in house" tournaments, even "stock"(e class) and "un-engineered" ship versions.
There are some pretty bitter rivalries and very friendly inter-group battles.

I enjoy mostly consensual 1v1 duels but will also fly around looking for player bounties, PP rivals and gladly expecting an occasional gank if I'm at a CG.

Other than that I generally ignore people because I'm off to somewhere, or maybe give a quick o7.
I like the randomness.
Like the novice Cmdr in the squishy Asp who had the nerve to shoot at my engineered FGS?

Lol...
It's fun out there.

My take exactly. I was ganked in the CG yesterday by a tough wing of engineered murderboats in which I was barely able to jump away from. A few hours later 1 of them attacked me in the haz res and seemed surprised that I stood my ground and gave him a good spanking. All good fun.

Easy fix; bounty can be capped at the equivalent of the rebuy cost of the criminal. That makes it a zero-sum game at best, and the outlaw still has to pay his rebuy and his bounty when he dies, so he/she will lose money.
Atleast that would make it a bit more worthwhile to go after Cutters :)

for the kind of senseless murder undertaken then yes I agree, the victims shouldn't be made to suffer more for actions they did not deserve.

Payout their bounties? so if someone had 1 billion for example, they would have to pay it? or is there some work around that they are exploiting anyway?

The current system is supposed to make the criminal pay his bounty when he dies, yes. There was a workaround, but I believe that has been fixed. The biggest issue is being able to kill the criminal, and then kill them in the wanted ship and in the system they have the bounty or where a KWS would show it.

This game wasn't made for bounty hunting other cmdrs. It's one of the hardest things you can do in the game imho.
 
32m is nothing
new system when you hit notirty level of 10 you get roughly 1m bounty per ship killed
currently I got 2.1 billion XD
(Not PvP kills, just killing wending barges)
 
This guy had a 67 million cr bounty when he invited me to wing as an ambush tactic:

My most sincere congratulations for sending that... person... to the rebuy screen. I honestly was waiting all the time for a combat log after the wing ambush.

The hell is wrong with some people in this game :x

No complaint from me about the actions of the player, they stuck around, didn't cheat, and didn't commit any overtly out-of-character harassment. I did take pleasure in the destruction of his CMDR's vessel, however...false flag ambushes are pretty low.
