Allow players to PVP bounty hunt for SPRT if they get enough reputation to do so.
Ok so: Attacking other players on multiplayer usually damages player reputation with the faction being attacked and gives points to the SPRT faction; with that in mind: It would be awesome for players following the pirate carrer if the SPRT Trading station allowed players to take bounty contracts on those who are enemies of the pirates (all players at the start by default). The players getting bounty hunted by pirates would win pirate reputation by defending itself from the pirate factions to the point that he or she could no longer recive any bounty contracts. Im my point of view this pirate carrer system could be balanced out to the point where it would make the game more enjoyable for all. Defending players would also unlock the oportunity to hunt down other players once they could no loger recive bounty contracts.
I think the simplest way to balance this out would be:
1 - minimum playtime on server / pcu minimum (or faction pcu) to recive bounty contracts.
2 - how many points each player gets for fighting pirate friendly factions (defending).
3 - make fail to bounty contracts costly for pirates players.
thank you for reading and maybe considering this.
I would also like to thank Dan2d3d for redirecting me here from steam forums.
I like this feedback
there is no way to get rid of my bounty after a player has claimed it! i still have a bounty on my head! as a result i am being activly tracked all over the server i play on and it has made it imposible to play the game! i have no problem being hunted once or twice, in fact, i welcome a fight, however, constant bounty is not fair! Also, as a result of my positive reutation with SPRT, i cannot declare war on SPRT and there is no way to get my reputation down! plz fix this, it is an awful glitch

I agree, definitely something PVP oriented with Space Pirates.
Also, how weird is it that you can't be friendly with all neutral factions, but you can easily be friendly with Space Pirates and neutral with all other NPC factions? The reputation drop for doing contracts definitely needs to get axed, that mechanic does not make any sense at all and is totally unbalanced.
My suggestion for that is, make any rep gained with SPRT to decrease rep for all neutral NPC factions at once. However, only once a proper career system for Space Pirates has been implemented.
And yeah, as Phrixos28 said, the bounty system is designed horribly and provokes downright harrasment at this point really...
My suggestion to fix bounty contracts is: Make them completable only once per player on the server (or only distribute a random 4 - 10 bounty contracts throughout stations on the server, so that they are actually hard to find and people will want to visit more stations...) Obviously they should not be infinite as they are now how can this still not be properly implemented after so many complaints? Also the bounty contract itself should give a GPS of the attacker as well... this way you can prepare to have at least a semi-decent fight (see it as a duel) and not just a random ambush completely out of nowhere when you are fixing your solar panels.
