== Summary ==
The current bounty system has many flaws and is highly under used. The plan (pdf file) linked in the thread proposes a new implementation of the bounty system that solves its current problems and makes bounty hunting a viable profession

== Potential Solutions ==

For the full solution, please refer to the bounty hunter parts of [http://dl.eve-files.com/media/0808/Nil_mortifi_sine_lucre%5B2%5D.pdf Nil mortifi sine lucre], however, the highlights are listed here:
* Bounties will change into bounty [[Contracts|contracts]]
* Players with the bounty hunter skill can accept these [[Contracts|contracts]]
* [[Contracts|Contracts]] can only be issued on players you have a kill right on
* Bounty hunters who have accepted the contract gain a derived kill right on the target, allowing them to attack the target anywhere
* Bounty payouts will be proportionate to the approximate value of the damage inflicted on the target
*One option is to have bounty hunting agents that are in stations with bounty offices, they could assign missions just like normal agents except against wanted players
<br/>
After receiving feedback from players, we can consider allowing pilots to issue bounty [[Contracts|contracts]] on players they do NOT have a kill right on. This contract would not yield a derived kill right, which might make it a lot more difficult for a bounty hunter to fulfill the contract in [[Empire_Space|empire space]]. This should be clear in the bounty contract, but it is an interesting addition to the system described in the pdf document.
