This week I had an 'accidental' PvP encounter that we truced out of. But my bounty offer came up first: about $6500. Which seems incredibly cheap. If the other guy had been pursuing PvP, I think it probably should have been more painful for me to slip away despite having the flag on. Though I don't spend money on much besides repairs (so even on a slow week my money grows), so maybe my perspective is a little skewed.

This was out of Firelight (at the gates, I think), and we both had a single car - mine was Windsor 2 with 2 MG, I think his was Apache with just a little more weaponry.

Does it have to do with our gear or crew, or something like local or global reputation?

Big Daddy, the bounty amount it asked me to force a truce with you was about $11,000. I clicked "truce" knowing you'd do the same.

I think it has to do with the squad's valuation. That's my theory. Mine was a 4L Apache with 2 rear MMG and 1 forward MG probably worth 80% more than your 2 MG Windy2.

Here's what I presume to be the three factors:

1. number of cars/CR of cars
2. global fame of the squad members
3. money value of the cars (but based on which town?)

When I couldn't make a pvp league match I had to pay over 1.3 million.

The bounty calc is based on CR and your own fame (the more famous you are, the higher your bounty).

If i remeber correctly the bounty was introduced as a mechanism for people who wanted to avoid PVP to be able to do so.

With the pvp flag, doesnt this make the bounty obsolete ? Surely the 2 protagonists can work it out between themselves. i dont think the attacker should be forced to accept after all thats what the flag is for isnt it.

I'm pretty sure it's based on local fame rather than global (don't have the code with me here) - so the amount you'll have to pay can vary quite a bit.
