any optimuses out there please type /bounty while maxxed out for combat gear. love to know max bounty possible. (think it's keyed for gear+lvl)

though i think it's even more when someone of much lower level sees you. Would love a real live test to see what bounty a n00b sees for a tricked out optimus at -100pr (would be great to test right before a reset/factionswitch)

heres a new one

was flying in a level 46 Ranger and saw a quant with a 884797 bounty he was level 38

so methinks ND's code just thinks of a number

ohhh bum

:dunce:

the bounty works on this sort of formula ( nothing to do with ND or MG this is mine )

pilot level + equipment ( ie weapons and artie's etc + pol rating to the pilot viewing + viewing pilots level + equipment + pol rating to bountied pilots faction = bounty

Now I know that looks like a complete shitfest but that is how the code works it ( acording to 6 hours testing )

so basicaly if Im in a bomber with Nova's and artied to the neck level 50 with - 100 pol in all factions and a level 0 in a shuttle with start up equip see's me I will have a major bounty ( approx 900K + )

I hope this helps you Muffy

yes it most certainly does. i did know about the "bomber with Nova's and artied to the neck level 50 with - 100 pol in all factions and a level 0 in a shuttle with start up equip see's me I will have a major bounty" bit, of course. Thanks for confirming that.

Since i knew that, i assumed from your first post that max was the "index" used when applying the "modifiers" i just mentioned. Now, i'm very comfortable about this stuff. Probably on par with most Pirates. lol. finally.

Is it the same formula when you use /bounty?

MajorFreak · Guest

LOL sorry, i've just heard that a gazillion times on F5:help as the supposed answer. la la I believe Nibbles first post in this thread technically states the answer to YOUR question, Zeshin. (pretty sure that first number qualifies)

the rest of his posts illuminate the stuff not calced by the /bounty

*shrug* I'm sure GM_Nibbles can clarify that answer, though i personally think /bounty sucks donkey balls cause it doesn't tell you what you REALLY want to know.

Wouldn't that be cool if instead of the stupid /bounty comm line command we actually had "bounty (base) currently held" on our pilot profiles? That to me sounds hellish cool, and the "exploit" wouldn't exactly make alot of us cry rivers. Ah well, hoping that ND add more stats to the profile is a lost cause along with JOSSH inaccuracies and a host of other stuff waay more important than both.

agreed

The person that coded that /bounty command was definatley on crack. It has fook all to do with what the actual bounty is.

In my private account I had - 100 to all factions and some n00bs saw me as 303 while higher levels saw 812144.

WOOOT

ok /bounty shows what your max bounty would be if YOU saw it from the outside.

ie. some one with the exact pol ship and rank.

hope that helps
