In addition to the [[credits]] that can be earned from collecting and redeeming [[Bounty Voucher]]s, bounty hunters also earn experience towards their personal combat [[Ranks|rank]], and increase [[reputation]] with a [[:Category:Factions|minor faction]] that issued the bounty.

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.

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.

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.
