Bounty Hunter
Bounty hunting is the art of collecting credits for killing other NPCs and players with a price on their heads. Those who are involved in this role are known as bounty hunters.
More often than not, a Kill Warrant Scanner is used by a bounty hunter to determine if the owner of a target ship has a bounty. Bounties for crimes committed in other jurisdictions can be uncovered by using the kill warrant scanner.
Bounty hunters will often loiter outside stations in order to scan other ships when they slow down while approaching the entrance, in order to dock and undock.
Bounty Vouchers
Bounty vouchers are issued when a commander destroys a ship that had a bounty on it, the commander is then awarded a bounty voucher. These vouchers must be cashed in at an appropriate contact to receive the reward.[1]
Things to remember about bounty hunters
- 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 railguns or cannons for a quick and decisive outcome.
- Bounty hunters are not predominantly pirates, but may take on that role as opportunities arise. Any stolen goods gained while bounty hunting is always an added bonus.
- Bounty hunters are NOT griefers!
