Why you MUST get a KWS (with photo evidence)

I didn't want to mention this in the CG thread cause I didn't have pics to back up my claim, and I had a gut feeling people would go "no this isn't a feature. cause etc. etc. etc."

Mining ship. Had a mining laser and a collector limpet.
Clean. Right? No need to spe-

Because a KWS doesn't multiply a bounty... it FINDS NEW ONES!
So a mining ship can be marked as Warrant! and then if you shoot and kill them you get no bounty and they go from warrant to wanted.
Plus you get merits for power play o3o
"Damn dirty miners!"

So ya there is a CG going on which will give you a class C and class A KWS with long range and short time scans. meaning you will be able to check if any "innocent miners" might have a bounty with a real fast scan!

is it worth it? The way I see it... I got to gank a miner and got a 200% profit out of it u3u
Cause I got 155k credits instead of getting a 155k credit fine u3u
THAT'S MATH BABY!

(apologies my english isn't that good and sometimes I get words mixed up, if I misstyped anything apologies.)

Edit1: Also yes this is rare. hence why it took so long to get a pic!
Edit2: pic of my claims. yes the Arth Autocracy is the exact amount rewarded whilst my Dhan Empire bounty vouchers were from a set of 3 pythons I killed earlier. Dhan Empire didn't pay for their own ship getting blown up. But someone else certainly did!

... It's always worked this way. The new bounties are usually smaller and are for factions other than the system's controlling faction.

Tell that to the people who said (years and years ago) I had a "glitch" that caused a type-7 to become wanted.
meanwhile the type-7 I scanned got a random bounty registered from a nearby faction.

Now years later it triggered again and I was ready with the screenshots!

Admittedly I really only do it when I am out of pirates to kill in the area XD so it could possibly trigger a lot more often, I wouldn't know. I don't make a habit of scanning ONLY mining ships o3o

These are much more useful for scanning players who, if they're PvP regulars, can have hundreds of millions CR in bounties against their names.
So, absolutely get your double engineered KWS outfitted, then head out into bubble and start collecting those heads bounties.

I'd suggest Sol, Deciat and Shinrarta Dezhra to make the truly big bucks.

It doesn't matter, there is a (pointless) hard cap of 2 million Cr for player bounties.

Same principle applies to Odyssey settlements, no? Not worth the couple of thousand credits in bounties having the entire population immediately attacking you, mind.
