Remove the Blanket Bounties

[Walker]

Put simply, I've always considered Blanket Bounties as an extra bonus. I've really never bothered to shoot a guy as a Merc just for an extra 100,000 Credits... I mean most of the time you spend more than that on ammo and supplies afterward...

Any logical Merc should go use the search button and make a list of the top 20 Bounties offered that he can do and do it. I've gotten rather alot from Mr. Blaze's Hammerhead in a week. Best of all a smart Merc would approach the target not "REDIZDEADZ".

I've stuck with a few guys sometimes and even participated in a few things of their roleplay, it was rather fun, and then when the guard was lowered drop the RP-Bomb and they are all Darth Vader "What!?" and I'm there going Han Solo "YEEHAWWW!" at them.

To say much, it was rather fun, I find playing a Merc like that more Dynamic than just "Bounty. Bounty. Shoot. Shoot. Cash in. Cash in." - But thats just with a Merc ID and I'm rambling.

The BHG ID does somewhat limit then to Bounty, Shoot, Cash. What I'm more thinking is, people should use the BHG as less Bounty Hunters, but more Private Military Contractors. Because thats essentially what they are...

Go tell all BHG that if they camp the Bering/Hudson gates in Texas and enforce the Liberty Embargo that they will get around maybe 500,000 per ship.

And I'm still groaning on...

So I'll talk about what were talking about now...

"Bounty Hunter ships cease fiyah, deze pepz r undah protectz from teh lane haxorz."

"Go away, theres no bounty for hackers."

In Singleplayer when the Hackers came to your aid. Date back to that, and you see that the Hackers did not get along very well with the Hunters but did not engage them on sight and merely gave them an ultimatum. And the Bounty Hunters didn't go all "OMG PIRATEZ KILLZ IT."
Put simply, look at Jango/Boba Fett. A few people attacked him out of revenge, there was a time when he was the iconic hand of the Empire and the Rebels engaged him because they knew that 99% of the time at current he was working for the enemy. But otherwise, people left him alone or kept their distance from him.

The same should be done with Bounty Hunters and pirates, "Hey you tried to kill me! DIE!"

Or

"Pathetic Traitor... I can't be bothered to deal with you, leave this place before it gets ugly."

I mean, look at Sigma-13 - When a pirate sees a BHG, he engages, but why? It would be better to let the BHG Pass and wait for a trader, you just engaged somebody that probably wouldn't have engaged you thus wasting your resources. And even if you beat him, your at half strength and a Shire pulls up and totally owns your face and you might have got it if you hadn't wasted most of your ammo and nanobots on that Hunter.

SeaFalcon, most BHG's DONT really follow the law... They probably got bagged into Huntsville or got bored of the lowly conditions of piracy, defected to the BHG and are now sipping Martini's on Curacao because they know what routes what times and where their Marks will be, getting paid hourly what they probably got in a week. In addition to using a ship that isn't made of duct tape. Profit is all that matters to most BHG, the same with the LPI. Except in the LPI's case, they have to engage lest they lose their jobs. Whilst the BHG can go along their merry way.

EDIT: And now whilst I made this wall of text, moar poastz hav been madez0rz!!!!1!...
Dare I make another or just sit it out?
