' Wrote:How about doing to the Bounty Hunters the same that was done to the Mercenaries in 4.84. Take away their capital ships. It's not like these ships are being employed to the end they were commissioned to anyway. The vast majority of the Bounty Hunter capital ships (cruiser up) are being used to gank pirates in core systems. I reckon this would grant back the BHG their due status in House territory.
EDIT: At least it worked for the Mercenaries. The class is more respected and serious nowadays.

' Wrote:Don't see any admins ingame much? I'm online with my admin character for at least 30-60 minutes every day. I apologise if i'm not around at 3am to boot out rowdy bounty hunters from Crete that apparently the Corsairs don't have the forces to kick out:PI do actually have to sleep, strange though that might seem. The other admins are the same, and we all have RL jobs, girlfriends/wives/kids, working on 4.85 etc.
So in any case, screaming for admin intervention isn't really the right thing to do. If they're breaking rules, then screenshot it and we'll deal with it. If they're not, just gather together a large force of corsair bombers and kill them, or just ignore them until they get bored and go away. The BHG *do* know the location of Gamma and they can go there.
I'm in CDT ... what time zone are you? You do have a point ... but I was trying to find a way to get admin attention. Didn't work ... oh well ... can't do anything about it now.
Submitted my violation report ... awaiting a response one way or the other.
' Wrote:To the first post... "Write up a sanction report." (admins are needed elsewhere aswell)
Did that ... awaiting the results.

This incident at Crete is just the tip of the mess.
A simple sancion report don't get it.
The problem is that a lot of obvious new players are abusing the liberty regarding role-play the Bounty Hunters got in general.
There is in fact a Sirius wide PvP whoring group killing every pirate and smuggler. Doing so they are destroying all the roleplay.
And again: What happend with the consensus that a Bounty Hunter only do kill for a fee?
A simple change to the rules and these guys can do thier PvP whoring in Bastille.
I'd like to see the BH downgraded to gunboats. Rationale is all the other battle capable, generic, roam anywhere they please, ID's have a size limit.
Pirate ID = limited to gunboats and smaller
Mercenary ID = limited to gunboats and smaller
Terrorist ID = limited to VHFs and smaller
Trader ID = not a combat vessel ... but if the Trader ID is on a combat vessel it is limited to VHF and smaller
Zoners limit is that they cannot just go out on a killing spree ... they're supposed to be neutrals and non-violent .. i.e. they're not supposed to initiate hostilities.
So ... nerfing the BH to gunboats would bring them in line with all the other generics
