Placing a Bounty.

[Drake]

Not a liar, just an exaggerator. If you left the server 3 months ago, that's because you chose to, not because you were forced out by indie BHG. I was here 3 months ago, and the only place which gets regularly ganked by BHG capships is/was NY, Sigma-13, and the Omicrons. There are lots of other places to pirate, and pirating is pretty easy in a gunboat. I see lots of successful pirates around, in all sorts of ships, who don't seem to have any problem with constant BHG attacks (capships or otherwise). Saying you were unable to play your character without getting constantly BHG-raped is bull (there, I didn't say hogwash), and is frankly just whining. There are lots of capships out there who just want to go on a killing spree... And there are at least as many indie pirate capships out there who want to do nothing more than kill any lawful (including/especially Hunters) they encounter. And they don't even need a bounty to do it 'legally'.

You play a pirate, so obviously you'll have more poor encounters with the BHG capwhores than unlawful capwhores, but don't go and blame the capwhore problem on just one faction, it's a server-wide problem and all characters, lawful and unlawful, encounters it with some regularity. As I mentioned earlier, BHG capwhores (and BHG characters in general) are already far more limited than any of the unlawful capwhores. Without blanket bounties (which are completely in line with canon RP, that's the reason why NPC Hunters fight NPC unlawfuls) the BHG would be a completely pointless faction outside the Omicrons (where they're at war with the Order and hunt nomads). There just aren't enough non-blanket bounties to go around, and Hunters have to compete with Mercenaries and Freelancers for those (who can also take unlawful bounties).
