Organised crime in Sirius has become a serious problem for both trade and house militaries alike. A syndicate of very wealthy traders eventualy grew tired of being pirated and hassled by these organised unlawufs and decide to take matters into their own hands. Bounty Hunters are a resourse that could be tapped to fight this threat but by nature bounty hunters tend to be disorganised lawful rogues in it for the money that would not take to leadership. Realising this, the wealthy traders decided to attempt to organise these rogue bountyhunters the only way they knew possible, by offering bounties on all major organised criminals.
He would only pay acreditted bounty hunters that he knew he could trust. Becoming acreditted is a very simple task, just place the BH tag in front of your name for all to see and participate in the collection of a bounty with someone who has collected before. For example if Bounty Hunter Jonathan wanted to get paid by this trade syndicate for the bounties on organised criminals, he would need advertise his name as BH - Jonathan for all to see and assist another BH tagged Bounty Hunter in a kill.
To be the primary collector of bounties of any class ship they would also have to fly one of the following bountyhunter ships, have the BH - tag and post a before and after picture in the bounty thread:
If you fly one of the following ships you may only personally collect a bounty on a cruiser class ship or higher but may be paid for the assist in any other class ships. You must also have the BH - tag.
Only after collecting a certain number of bounties will you be permitted to tag a Bounty Hunter Battleship and use it to assist in the collection of any bounties. It will be a lot.
The following weapons are acceptable for all bountyhunters to collect on a bounty.
Fighters:
All civilain weapons
All bounty hunter Weapons
All Codenames weapons
All missiles
All mines
Mini Razor
Supernova
Nova
All torpedos except nomad
Capital ship class:
All civilian missile and regular turrets
All house military Missiles and Turrets
Cerberus
Infernos
Razors
Mortars
Solaris
A typical bounty will be 5 mil for a faction kill to be paid to the one supplying the proof of kill as well as 1 mil for each of the other tagged BH - Bounty Hunters partied with you at the time of the kill. It will be the responsibility of the one posting the picture to disburse the additional assist funds to his party members. Battleship or faction leaders will be worth 20 mil for the kill, assists will be worth 1 mil each. Only one bounty each week will be paid for each criminal, ie. [OPG] Evilguy can only be collected on once per week.
Factions to be hunted:
OPG
Nova-PG
Bs
ROS
101st

No bounties will be paid for ships of any other factions. Unlawfuls beware......
Of course all who are tagged BH - are welcome to take on lawful freelance work and anyone may pay the Bounty Office to request our services.
// I have talked with friends about setting this up. This seems to me to be the most BHish way i could imagine to make a faction plus gives its members more of a reason to do what it is bounty huters do - Hunt. Eventually we may make omega-15 our home.
If you think it is a good or bad idea please let me know. Flames are welcome as well as any indication that bountyhunters would want to participate.
