Cool idea...

This is a free discussion forum on Freelancer. This is the place to discuss Freelancer issues NOT covered by the other boards!

Cool idea...

Wouldn't it be cool if there was a feature where each faction kept track of how many people in THEIR faction you had killed, and when you reach a certain number, that faction starts sending out bounty hunters to kill YOU?

And the more kills you rack up, the more experienced the bounty hunters become. So eventually, for example, the Rogues wouldn't just attack you every time you showed up in their systems, but they would start sending out people with the specific intent on killing you, wherever you happen to be.

This idea could be expanded, I'm sure. Just a thought...

Very good one. A certain faction could put a bounty on your head, depends on how many of them you killed would rock. I killed 300 mollys/xenos and the are friendly with me again after i kill enough police. Maybe some way that if you kill enough of them, that faction will never like you again, unless you pay huge amounts for hacking. This penalty would be removed once you die to an NPC or PC.

10- no penalty
20- they begin to hate you (no matter what your previous relation to this faction was)
30 - 300,000 bounty
40 - 600,000 bounty
over 50 - 1 million bounty.

Also would be nice if the bounty could be collected upon your death not only by players. If you die to the police/planet crashing/military/sun crashing/nomads your bounty stays, and you must pay it off to the bounty hunters if you want it removed.

That's a good idea, really good. Granted, I get jumped all the time by rogues, yet it would be nice if they would send out better ships after me. Plus hiring bounty hunters. I mean, I'm still in the relatively low grade Anubis, and they keep sending slow and weak Bloodhounds after me... you think after I've killed about 400 of them they'd get the message...

And I REALLY like the idea of simply paying the bounty to someone in the BH guild to have them stop hunting you. Makes sense to me, they only hunt for cash anyway... why should they care who it comes from? I certainly wouldn't. And I consider myself a bounty hunter

Come on over to the Dark Side y'all...it'll be a hoot[!
