Bounty Hunters/Mercs/Sellguns - Vredes - 07-02-2014

So where are they all? I remember a time when we had just too many of them, BHG, MM, Reavers and now we have neither of them. How about someone bring at least the BHG, as an official NPC and Player faction? As for now one, of the most important Sirian factions are inactive, replaced a bunch of closed and custom player factions while the Official ones with a NPC and pre disco background seem to disappear. Is it because disco is dying or you just don't want some factions to be active?

Sorry man, it's just not fun anymore. This is not the Freelancer you were looking for.

I know they stepped down, and I hate to see one of my favorite games to go dark just like that....

My point was, or one of them was: Stop creating player factions with custom IDs whenever you like and then abandon that faction just like that, leaving an useless ID behind.

There is BHG Core Unofficial faction active now. But alas, no revival for the BHG yet. Well, you know you can always give a try to revive them.

There's nothing to hunt, that's why the Reavers are inactive, BHG disbanded and MM were gone before I even got here.

Plenty more to do and things to shoot, just not under those banners. Hell, the reason for it is boards like MercNet (the Reavers main reason to log) is gone and most of the other BB's have closed. It's just not worth it anymore due to ID restrictions stating they've gotta have a bounty etc.

This.
The paperwork just makes things needlessly demotivating and frustrating. The credits just aren't worth the effort either.

Maybe there could be an automated bounty board or something similar. I don't know how tough that would be for the devs, and I am quite sure that these kind of suggestions might be given earlier, but, why not now, since 2 factions that solely live for bounty hunting are pretty dead now, just because of the current bounty mechanism we have.

Such features exist, they just haven't been implemented.

don' forget about dissatended boards , as well as registration and payment (yes, im looking at YOU BDM, you got 3 guys playing cards whilw they wait the green light for the hunt).

Besides that, is true that the previous BB where MM, reavers and similars are down, in the best case...

The automated bounty board script attempt ran into a snag awhile back when trying to work out how to keep it from being an abused exploit to make yourself a bounty target and kill yourself for the money I think it was...something wasn't working right and then whomever was doing it dropped it. I imagine some dedicated scipt writer can pick it up. Go to The Starport link from The Freelancer Network drop down menu above on the top left over the Disco title bar. This is a good place to go to learn about FLhook and scripting for it.
