Why should people stay docked? This isn’t a free for all event, CONCORD is not going to be disabled, shooting randoms in high sec is still going to be a red safety thing. OK if you afk autopilot around in a shuttle or corvette then there will be a greater than normal chance of being ganked but flying sensibly will not carry any greater risk than it does now. ---

Yeah, but when in a fleet (which is what the question was about) the Bounty is split with Fleet members. So are you saying that if 2 or more players are in a fleet and they destroy a player ship, then they all get credit for the kill and each fleet member will have their task completed? EDIT: CCP Video about Player Bounty https://www.youtube.com/embed/CIyTMB2XaLk?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque ---

We won’t know until we can try it, but I suspect it will be similar to what happens in these PVE events now, but just the target will be another player ship or capsule. I don’t think CCP will make it too complex and will just use the same event system they use now, just with different cofiguration. ---

So the credit for the kill will go to the one who does the most damage or the one who get’s the last shot? I think it may be set up like NPC’s, the one who does the most damage get’s the credit, as long as they’re in the same system. ---

> [@DeMichael\_Crimson](#): > > So the credit for the kill will go to the one who does the most damage or the one who get’s the last shot? How do the current PVE events work? I don’t know, so not sure what the answer to that question is. If i had to guess, it would be whoever gets the killmail, which is the last shot. However if the current PVE based events are different then I suspect it will go with what they do. Until we can try it, there isn’t enough info to know definitively and we are just speculating, though whoever gets the killmail seems logical to me (but not the only logical choice). ---

Yeah, it should be credited to the player who does the killing shot. Now that you mention it though, I haven’t heard anything on the actual mechanics pertaining to the SP tasks either. However with regular NPC game mechanics, the player who does the most damage get’s ownership. EDIT: Probably whoever does the final shot gets credit for task completion. ---

Based on the recent experiences of a… friend, it’s whomever lands the ‘killing blow’ gets the credit for the kill (during the most recent PvE event anyway). I am curious to see how/what they come up with in terms of objectives for the PvP event though. > [@Litsea\_Reticulata](#): > > Which is exactly why I think the free skill point give aways should be reserved for when CCP feels the need to apologise for screw-ups rather than to get people to ‘do stuff’ in game.

The only thing it will actually effect is that some will finally have a good incentive to tip their toes into some casual fun PvP and go out there in cheap ships to collect those SP. And if it makes cowards like you quit that is just a bonus on top 🤣 no one cares about farmer trash. ---

be about on the same level as the guy who jumps into a destroyer and KO’s a t1 mining ship piloted by a 5 day old player. during the “pve only” event pvp was never denied and each daily task probably just… happened as pilots were flying about seeking their pvp. I’m on a bit of a break at the moment anyway so I wont be taking part. Good hunting ---
