1. Nothing. I just go out and see what's in space.
2. No, I'm too lazy to go for individual bounties so just go with whatever I stumble across ingame.
3. Forum thread is more than sufficient for me.
4. The usual copy/paste BBCode and fill in the gaps works fine, but it can be a bit tedious. I reckon a google docs form would be a great idea for claiming bounties.
5. The going rates on the house blanket boards are fine for me.
6. Bigger ship, more money.

1. Put on some music usually.
2. Yes, it lets me know if I should be bothered to log.
3. I prefer forum threads: much easier to view, simpler.
4. A template is great.
5. Anything that is higher than what the Liberty bounty board pays.
6. The bigger it is, the harder it falls. Pay me for my effort please.

1. I log my hunter ship, sometimes I do load some music. Also I run on Bounty Hunter ID. Done some unlawful bounty hunting some cool ninja roleplay back in the times known as Shinobi Agency ,it was fun but it was more a group thing, now I run on my own.
2. Sometimes when I hunt individuals only.
3. Neither, I just roll around and talk with the people in-game. I know who is bountied anyway and by offering services and asking around I find them in-game.
4. I claim them using the pattern/form by the contractor.
5. I does not bounty hunt for money. It is possible to make a lot of money farming liberty scrubs but I hunt for the trill and for fun so I does not care in general. Sometimes when there is high price (10+ mil) on individual bounty I like to go after it again for the trill of the hunt,money are secondary. In geneal I rarely bounty hunt but I guess I paid off my 3-4 bounty hunter ships and made like 600m in one year time. Mind that bounties/assists in-game tend to pay off a lot more then the blanket ones in the forum. My highest pay was 150 m on single target from in-game bounty. Note that some traders that lost their ore loads are willing to pay 30-40m for revenge.
6. I does not care in general. I know what I can beat with what kind of ship. I advice however to run 2-5 ships in the same region- LF/HF/VHFs- one with fast guns one with slow, 2 bombers- one heavy/ one light.

Official faction players that are often accused of elitism, never deploy them and have those weird, immersion killing "fair fight/dueling" suicidal hobbies. (yes, i've seen enough of those lolduels, where house military with overwhelming force on the field willingly loses a pilot in a duel. ffs.)

Either way - when you let go, and stop holding on so tightly, life can actually be fun - you can't steer a train, but you can RIDE it!

This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.
