Kills and associated bounty vouchers are recorded in the ship's log, so if your ship is destroyed before you get back to a station contact to present them for payment, then the vouchers will be lost along with the ship and you will not be able to cash them in. An exception to this is if the bounty voucher was awarded in the presence of a system authority vessel in which case they "radio" the kill confirmation back to their home station. | Kills and associated bounty vouchers are recorded in the ship's log, so if your ship is destroyed before you get back to a station contact to present them for payment, then the vouchers will be lost along with the ship and you will not be able to cash them in.

== Bounty Value == | |||
Bounty value on NPC ships is somewhat random, but seems to scale proportionately both with class of ship and with skill of the pilot. An Elite Sidewinder might be worth more than a harmless ASP, even though the effort required to take down the latter may be greater than the effort for the former. Commonly seen ships and their bounties are below (bounties taken with Kill Warrant Scanner in an anarchy system - local system bounties may add to overall value): | |||
* Sidewinder: 300 - 5,000 Cr | |||
* Eagle: 1,000 - 9,000 Cr | |||
* Cobra Mk. III: 5,000 - 25,000 Cr | |||
* Viper Mk. III: 10,000 - 30,000 Cr | |||
* Hauler/Adder: 1,500 - 10,000 Cr | |||
* Lakon Type-6/7: 3,000 - 20,000 Cr | |||
* Miscellaneous Super-Heavies (Imperial Clipper, Federal Dropship, Python): ~20,000 - 30,000 Cr | |||
* Anaconda: 60,000+ Cr | |||

* The bounty hunter's favourite ship is the [[Viper Mk III]]; fast enough to catch up with you and fast enough to escape should things not go according to plan. Usually outfitted with [[Railgun|railguns]] or [[Cannon|cannons]] for a quick and decisive outcome. | * The bounty hunter's favourite ship is the [[Viper Mk III]]; fast enough to catch up with you and fast enough to escape should things not go according to plan.
