Share bounty (AI stole my large bounty thread)

Yep, it happened to me today. I think 50% credit for the kill and 50% credit for the most damage would keep it simple enough to code. Otherwise it be really fiddly.
I think it's fine as it is. It get's a lot easier to get the kill once you have better weapons. Meanwhile you can get good bounties at USS and letting yourself be interdicted without always having to compete with the System Authority ships.
yeah, its just annoying when it does happen.
i had a plasma accelerator cobra in beta so i know how nasty you can get, people told me there was a wipe so i stopped playing gamma, bad decision now i'm playing again and i only have like 160k cash float. sidewinder is actually pretty nasty if you just keep your multicannons popping
On balance Ive probably stolen more kills off NPC's than they have from me. So I'm happy with this.
I had a fifteen minute battle the other day after letting myself be interdicted so I could test new weapons. At 2% hull security forces arrived and took the kill while I waited for my weapons to recharge. I was mad but then I thought, hey, who said it is a fair universe out there? Next time I'll bring a better weapon or let the security forces deal the damage when they show up and send in the final killing blow. I learn a little each time I play.
Yup, I noticed local security popping away at a wanted ASP. It didn't run, so I chimed in but watching closely as it neared destruction. Made sure I had full charge on pulse laser and multicannons and close range to get the kill. Nice 19k. The ASP was running with a Cobra so I waited for the sec to do the majority of the work and again, hit it with everything to get the kill and the 15K bounty.
This, I'd be very annoyed if I was denied anaconda bounty kills because some security ship fired few plasma balls at them while I killed the ship by hitting the powerplant while only doing minor hull damage.
Simple solution: change your mindset, don't let them steal from you, steal from them!
Usualy around 20% hull of the target and whith security fireing on him, i back down a bit and check my ammo.
The cops keeps fireing and most likely your target will start going after the cops instede of you.
Now with full ammo and your target not going after you, you got some time to get into a good relitive position for your final attack.
Not a 100% but usualy works.
Best to get some multicannos for that.
