'''Bounty Hunting''' is a [[combat]]-related [[Careers\|career]] that involves destroying criminal [[ships]] and [[Pirate\|pirates]], because they are [[Bounty\|wanted]] in a jurisdiction. Bounty hunters can earn [[credits]] by redeeming [[Bounty Voucher]]s. They also earn experience for the combat [[Ranks\|rank]], and increase their [[reputation]] with a [[:Category:Factions\|minor faction]] that issued the bounty.

	Many criminals seek refuge in systems with an anarchy status. Anarchy systems are ruled by a faction that doesn't enforce the rule of law. However, players are able to scan other ships in these systems with a [[Kill Warrant Scanner\|kill warrant scanner]] in order to see if they are wanted in any other systems. Upon destroying a wanted ship the player can travel to the system the bounty was issued and claim it.		Many criminals seek refuge in systems with an anarchy status.

	Bounty hunters will often loiter outside [[station]]s in order to scan other ships when they slow down to enter the docking area, but many bounty hunters are most active at [[Resource Extraction Site]]s or [[Nav Beacon]]s since many wanted ships will appear at both locations. Most NPC ships will pass through the Nav Beacons making them excellent areas for both NPC and player bounty hunters. The Resource Extraction Sites can be mixed in their populations. Isolated clusters of asteroids rarely contain any activity at all whereas the planetary rings of busy planets are rife with pirates looking to prey on miners. This makes planetary rings advisable for any prospective bounty hunters.

			Throughout the galaxy players may encounter NPC ships, which are controlled by AI, and real players who have taken a life of crime. Once scanned, a player can see the current [[Bounty Hunter\|bounty]] issued against that pilot. As a [[bounty hunter]] you can destroy them in combat to receive a [[Bounty Voucher\|bounty voucher]]. It can be redeemed at a [[starport]] controlled by the faction that issued the bounty to receive a reward.

			== Scanning ==
	A basic scan using a ship's [[Sensors]] can determine if the selected target is "Clean" or if there is a [[Bounty\|warrant]] for their destruction. Bounties outside of the current jurisdiction are not shown by the ship scanner so it is highly recommended that bounty hunters equip a [[Kill Warrant Scanner]] to scan for those extra bounties (bind it to a fire group, aim at the target and "shoot" until the scan is finished) as this can significantly increase payouts. It is also recommended to have a [[Frame Shift Wake Scanner]] equipped to scan any [[Frame Shift Drive Wake\|High Energy Wakes]] in case the target jumps away, though pursuing runners is only worthwhile if their bounty is exceptionally high.

	A major problem for bounty hunters is accidentally shooting the regional security services. Stray [[Multi-cannon]] shots, turreted weapons, and occasional AI stupidity tend to be the causes of this problem. There is some leeway before the security services will set a bounty or even attack, but caution should still be exercised in the event that the security ships are badly damaged. In the event that a bounty is incurred, the player will need to go to a station or system where their bounty does not apply and use an [[Interstellar Factor]] contact to pay it off, provided their [[notoriety]] is zero.
