So…let me give an example to highlight the silliness…

I shoot my alt, who is in an Ibis. My alt then gets a kill right on me. He sets the kill right to 10bn ISK.

In EVE, kill rights _over-ride_ suspect status. In other words you can’t just shoot at a suspect with a kill right as you’d normally do…you have to activate the kill right.

This means I could go around with suspect status all day, and commit more crimes, and no-one’s gonna shoot me as no-one’s going to want to pay 10bn ISK to do so. It makes nonsense of the whole system of being able to **freely** shoot suspects.

This is ass backwards, and kill rights should ONLY be forced to apply if a person does _not_ have suspect status. To get round the conflict ( as clearly genuine killed people will want their kill right ) I’d make it so that people with kill rights on them cannot commit suspect acts.
