Bounty Boards

[SnakThree]

Hey there. I thought for a while whethet to post this and tell my point on it or not, and as you see it, I decided to do it.

We all know how traders, miners are the pinnacles of activity for all others, since they draw piracy, which in return draws law enforcers and such.

But why is it that unlawful factions bounty those parties? I think it is silly, since:
1. They are partly throwing away their own role delivery, in which they should be the ones interacting with traders and miners.
2. Those are meaningless bounties, since it does not provide any advantages, that is, unlawfuls cannot gain much from one less miner or trader, unlike from having mercs to take down PvP oriented military/police ships etc.
3. It is a bit of ooRP to have money to waste on taking out those targets you should be taking out yourself.
4. Non-ending money for criminal faction that struggles to survive? ooRP imho.
...

However, if this would be endedm there would be more problems if factions, which have bountied traders/miners are not showing their activity to keep balance in space:
1. More money would be in economy.
2. Possibility to see even faster aquired Battleships by new players.
3. Possibility for new players to not have enough interaction to be on learning curve,
...

While rule-wise it would be inbalancing to forbid such bounties, but game-wise, I think it would make more sense as faction would be forced to tighten up and show activity of their own to be remembered as part of Sirius.


What do you think guys in general?
