BHG Warships. A flawed concept?

[DarkOddity]

Athenian raises a good point in regards to the 'blanket bounties' (nice term btw!)... there are two sides to every coin.

Here is an alternative to outlawing blanket bounties:

Blanket bounties are outlawed and can ONLY be placed by Law Enforcement factions, and to be enacted within space directly controlled by that faction ONLY. For example, Bretonian Armed Forces could place a blanket bounty on all pirates in Bretonian controlled systems.

This would allow blanket bounties to be in effect in 'civilized' space and prevent blanket bounties placed on a system such as Malta or Gamma, where bounty hunter cap fleets could just run amuck.

Really any other blanket bounty other than what i've described above would be obscenely out of RP, and bankrupt any character or organization. You place a blanket bounty for all pirates in a borderworld system, and you've suddenly got every bounty hunter in the known worlds swarming there and killing everything in sight. Only a government would be able to afford this, and even then - they would only spare the funds to protect their own directly controlled territories.
