Murder
- Thread starter CMDR Endincite
- Start date
So I took a little stroll down Murder lane to see how things went. Naturally didn't come very far but the little I've discovered is interesting.
Tests were conducted in a System ruled by an Independent MF.
Went into a Weapons Fire detected (Threat 1) USS. Some Novice Viper Mk.4 and a Mostly Harmless wanted ship (don't remember the type).
Shooting at the Security ship granted me the initial 300 credits fine plus the timer being started (0m 40s).
Here's the amount of bounties I got on my head before they blew it away:
1st kill (Viper Mk.4): 7k
2nd kill (Anaconda): 42k
3rd kill (Eagle): 150k
4th kill (Eagle): 329k
Also the moment they had my shields down my FSD was immediately targeted and destroyed.
Mind you these were just regular Security troops coming into the instance. A more heavily engineered ship would've probably lasted way longer, but also accumulate a much bigger amount of bounties. Which in turn would mean the ATR ships would spawn faster.
So I went back (same System) and visited the local Nav Beacon. Things went like this:
1st kill (Hauler): 579k (Timer: 1m 30s started)
2nd kill (DBS): 901k
3rd kill (Anaconda): 1.3mil
4th kill (Cobra Mk.3): 1.8mil
5th kill (Viper Mk.4): 2.3mil
6th kill (Anaconda): 2.9mil (ATR Timer: 1m started)
So 10 ship kills gets you up to almost 10mil bounty which then will trigger the ATRs on top of every other Security that'll be on your rear everywhere you go within the jurisdiction of the MF.
And every destroyed vessel after those will reduce the amount needed to trigger the ATRs until it's down to only 1 kill to make them say hello.

Oh happy day
From someone who has endured daily murders for... well forever!

Now let's see how much whine FD gets served by certain people on this topic and how much they'll listen and tone it down in the real game. I'd rather have them increase it the more complaints come in though
Last but not least - with the big bounty on your head, the Bounty hunters will respond to that too. So much attention from all sides

I agree.
The things them criminals will see when waking up in a Detention ship...

I'd like the see the ATRs just about indestructable and be capable of disabling a ship initially - take out weapons, drives that sort of thing.... leaving a reboot and high wake option.
Or doubling the distance of where they're put into Detention. From my System test I was sent 71.22ly away, which isn't really a distance.
ATR is never going to shoot down any of my combat ships.
Which is correct if you're high-waking out fast enough. When I ended my last test I've had a Elite Bounty hunter, several high-ranked Security and roughly 6 ATRs in the same instance with me before they completely wiped me off.
They go for your Shield Generator first, the FSD second, and lastly you.

Yes... it should be balanced to say the time effectiveness (BGS -wise) of bounty hunting. I think a new thread to discuss the BGS effects/needs may be in order... onto it.

I'd be surprised if the effect is changed, its the ability to require the need for a huge effort to negate it.... as in counteract 200 murders

Mostly interdicted from sc but I did also visit the nav beacon twice when I wasn't finding clean ships from the right faction in sc. I didn't note how many of the 10 ships I killed were from the nav beacon but it was probably between 2 and 4.
In the past I've also used RES sites to find murder victims when they were present in the system.
