BHG ID

[Major.]

There's a plethora of options besides Bounty Hunter ID(s) to shoot things with. Let those who enjoy the paperwork do the paperwork, let those who don't play other characters.

It can become a bit of a drag (it sure did last I Reaved) but it's "part of the job" in my opinion.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This only makes the "make the paperwork optional" argument come to light even more. Except, for those people that think that the drag is too much, they can just not do it and get paid less. It's the best of both worlds. What if you just want to roleplay a bounty hunter but that paperwork just puts you off entirely? I probably would even be MORE willing to do the paperwork as long as I knew I had no time limit on it. I'd get the screens and just post them whenever.

Alternatively, put a 1 week timer on claimable bounties. You don't claim it on the forum within one week, you can't anymore. You're not obligated to do it but you can't do it 3 years after either. Everyone wins.

Or, you ask someone like me, who get's 10% of the credits you earned from the blue and does the paperwork for you.

I wouldn't mind doing the paperwork for some people. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well that would imply that the staff actually evaluates these kind of threads.

This begs the question if there's even a point to the "Discovery Mod General Discussion" subforum if nothing will ever be accomplished in it. Seems like a waste of time.

Sure wish some yellow words would get typed in here. At least a confirmation that the thread has been looked over and that they acknowledge the existence of this issue.

Read the thread.

Things I want to change:
1) Bounty list shows only claimable bounties and only with target players online.
2) You can create bounties only against those, whose factions is neutral or hostile to your faction [from 0 to -1].
3) You can claim bounties only against those, whose factions is neutral or hostile to your faction [from 0 to -1].
4) No sirius-wide messages about bounties at all. You will see if players have reward for their head if select their ships and only in case if bounty is claimable.
5) No way to know if you are bountied. Remove /bounty me command. Also remove references to mail plugin, pretty useless thing.
6) Change bounty credit limit bounds to: from 1M to 10M and change tax system: make it percentage-based.
7) Add system which tracks damage that was inflicted to bounty target. Reward gets only one player which inflicted most damage. If it is bountied player self or solar object - don't do anything. Damage counter is being reset every time ship docks to base.
8) Add opportunity to create bounty against whole faction, that does mean you select all players of the faction as targets.
9) Improve saving bounty data to files, current system is flawed, and add more precious check of data expiration.
10) If one player is under few bounties, give only one highest reward, other bounties remain untouched.

I think we can consider it an issue given how dead mercenary work is, and how underplayed the BHG ID is in general tbh.

I would support something like this in principle if it were strictly Limited to the BHG| Official faction ID. This allows for a single entity to be responsible and bear the consequences of abuse.

Edit: Also the amount of paperwork required is minimal and far less than one would be required for a single Message Dump...

Sounds like you want a bounty plugin

Abuse would be easily recognizable and punishable regardless of how many IDs have access to it. The 1 hour rule still applies to bounties.
And this is also mostly about making the paperwork optional, not how much money the plugin would give the IDs. As long as it's optional people wouldn't care about the amount of money the plugin gives. At least I wouldn't.
