Now that ESS’s seem to be all over the place (even one in Jita), how exactly does the pay out work?
I kill rats in a system with ESS.
The bounty goes into the Main Bank.
Do you have to register with the ESS somehow?
At the end of 2 hours (or whatever is left on the timer) it pays out to those who put in via bounties?
Do you have to be in system when the timer hits zero?
You don’t have to be in the system when the ESS pays out.
You don’t even have to be logged in to receive the payout, same as with timed bounty payouts.

When I tested in High-Sec and what I read. the “Mainbank” steals 35% of what you earn. The “Reserve” steals 5% (40% total gets jacked). After 2-hours and 55 minutes, you get a “Mainbank” payout (35% of the total 40%). The “Reserve” requires a one-time-use type of ‘key’ to steal it. Now the from what I read of the updates in Oct. '20, the “Mainbank” can still get robbed by someone, but if it doesn’t you get the payout. You see nothing from the “Reserve”.
And while it’s speculation, this “oops” for HS. It’s just a taste of what will come to HS.
