Question about bounties

[aerelm]

I've claimed a bounty or two with Pirate ID, but have never 'hunted' with that ID.

My personal opinion over pirate ID is, it wouldn't make sense for a pirate InRp, to fly around chasing targets just to get paid on a board, that's what mercs do. But if he accidentally runs into a bountied target who refuses to pay, well... Why shouldn't he claim it on the board to make a profit even from the dead trader/miner/whatever?

I mean, it just looks kinda wrong to me to see a pirate hunting for bounties, but if it's a "I have a gun, you have a bounty, you'll pay me double or I'll just claim that one!" situation it's just fine in my book.
