bounty hunt without the police breathing down my neck

[「GOLD EXPERIENCE」]

is there any way I can do bounty hunting without the law breathing down my neck? kinda annoying

[momoguru]

the sector security level will determine how often, and how fast the cops will show up. in low sec, they don't come sometimes.

cloak is another option.

Life-hack: Local law enforcement officials are living, breathing individuals, also captaining starfaring vessels, just like you, I, and criminals alike. And like criminals, you can safely remove them from the board by shooting them.

If Orthodox sees someone as Criminal and put bounty on him, this doesn't mean the Law or Commerce or the other Faction see it that way. All they see is some random guy shooting at someone else in their controlled space.

So, i would expect for local security to actually punish that unprovoked shooting. The only other thing i would like to see is for the police to really pose a real threat to anyone who violates their controlled space. Shooting down couple of security ships on top of that bounty target with small Faction penalty and without dropping a sweat isn't something that you should experience in high sec.

sorry but this just makes no sense, shouldnt lawn enforcement be busting down the doors of the mission giver for attempted murder too? Bounty target is literally one sector over for me and police are getting mad lol. Ugh i find that so annoying when mission givers give unlawful missions xD

No.

It works the same way it does in the real world; The police responding to a shots-fired situation only see a man shooting at one or more other people. They don't just know he's an assassin sent by the mayor's office. As far as they know, he's just an angry junkie firing on his dealer, a possessive lunatic trying to off their ex and their new SO, could be gang related. The priority then and there is dealing with the threat.

"no"

okay refunded, still under my 2 hours lol. hate that ♥♥♥♥ lol.

Like someone in america ordering assassination of someone in Canada. On what authority can you order that and not be investigated by both USA and Canada lol. No thank you. ANNOYING :)

[The Pollie]

... What? The legality of it isn't the problem here, it's the idea that they would just know who is responsible and go after them.

If armed forces suddenly began firing on civilians in Canada, the Canadian military wouldn't just immediately invade Russia. They would deploy and engage said armed forces. There would be an investigation after-the-fact as to the who, what, and why, but that isn't something that they can gather as the shell casings are piling up.

As far as system authority knows, you may just be a bandit. Frankly, they don't care who you are or why you're shooting at them. You're breaking the law and they have to stop you.

technically no. the canadian police have the jurisdiction and USA is not actually allowed to help UNLESS the canadian police asked for help even the victim is a most wanted criminal in USA. just because the perpeprator is from USA does not mean that USA will instantly help without canada asking. hence which is why criminals usually ran away from the country as they know they didnt see the criminal as criminal but rather as a civ unless the home country is asking for help.

[The Pollie]

Yup. An American =/= United States of America. Otherwise we'd be at war with and bombing Mexico into the stone age because of Cartel action. The Canadians would investigate it, and would likely request and receive assistance from the American government, given that the US-G has no reason to attack Canada, to support potential organized crime on either side of the border, and there is good PR in helping from them to justice.

Just as an added note, there are two types of bounties. One against raiders or registered pirates etc, then there are other "under the table" bounties by individuals who havn't been passed by law enforcement. You subscribed to the latter, and should expect response from authority for engaging in elligal activity.

Like in the real world, just because someone is willing to pay someone to off someone, or burn down someone's garden, that doesn't mean law enforcement should stay out of it.

I think the major problem is that it's not really clear how actually dangerous or potentially ruining these missions can be from new players, as they just appear to be normal pirate hunt missions. There should really be a seperate board for the more shadey dealings.

[「GOLD EXPERIENCE」]

yeah I agree on that part. I decided to try the hunting mission but what I didnt know was I took the assassination mission rather than the pirate dealing mission considering they are treated as criminal by the poster. luckily I manage to escape by the skin of my teeth thanks to upgrading my ship before attempting which leads me to making this discussion. I think it's better to give warning about the authority so new players know about it.

I've found that when going after a non-raider target, it's best to wait to turn on "friendly Fire" until you''re less than 1k from your target. Then, take them out and immediately turn off "friendly fire" . The law enforcement won't shoot at you if you don't have friendly fire turned on all the time.
