- Can attack all other bounty hunters targeting the same bounty. >> Freelancers are not bounty hunters. So if any freelancer or enemies of said target engages the same target to steal the contract, they cannot be attacked.
- Can attack any ship that is the target of a contract. >> If it attacks only the ship that is the target, any ally of that ship can CD the BH/FL without being engaged, since CD is not considered attack. If CD is considered ATTACK, any ship that docks while being CD'ed without any lines is PVP dead.
- Cannot use Cruisers, Battlecruisers, Battleships, or ships with more than 3,600 cargo space.
NEW:
- Can be hired to complete contracts: Escort, Protection, Bounty Hunting, Delivery
- Can attack any ship that interferes with the completion of a contract
- Cannot use Cruisers, Battlecruisers, Battleships, or ships with more than 3,600 cargo space.
The explanation is not to be used in the ID Lines. It can be posted in the Rules clarification thread.
Explanation:
- For the sake of RP creativity, activity and regulation (to ease the work of admins), the contracts have been exemplified and will be explained
- Escort: Take a ship from point A to point B. This can exclude Protection
- Protection: Protect ship/s from any ship/s that would want it destroyed
- Bounty Hunting: Assassination or Regular Bounty Hunting
- Delivery: Take item A to station / Planet / Faction B
The wording is pretty simple and easy to understand, while offering flexibility in the gameplay / RP in game.
Basically, Freelancers and Bounty Hunters now can be hired by both lawful and unlawful factions / players for various contracts - it gives more range to operate and it gives them the ability to engage any ship, regardless of their reputation if the "interfere" condition is fulfilled - this will have to be demonstrated via RP or VR in case of reports - so take notice!
Also, for the sake of the topic, don't consider BH just guns for hire. Let them have some flexibility - as proven in the small IMG event where BH were hired to escort the IMG ships to O48. Give them some flexibility for the sake of activity and RP.
