Wanted:

You.

This office regrets to inform you that there's a price on your head. It goes up every time you shoot somebody down, and seven pilots have a copy of this.Your guns, engines and health all share one bar. No download, no sign-up.

Also on the board

Pilots go after the biggest bounty they can see. This office would like you to know it's nothing personal, it's per kill.

Terms of the bounty

  1. You start out worth 1.
  2. Every kill adds 1.
  3. Whoever shoots you down takes all of it, and you go back to 1. There's no appeals process.
A ship bursts into light under an orange sun. The scoreboard: Moth 7, you 6.
From our files: five kills in 1 minute 52 seconds, a bounty of 6, and then Moth.

How to stay uncollected

Your guns, engines and hull all draw on one account. This office does not extend credit, and when it hits zero the matter is closed. It suggests the following.

A violet ship clamped to a huge wreck, with a dashed ring spreading from it.
  • Go cold

    Cut the engines and you'll keep sliding, but the bar fills three times faster and you nearly drop off sensors. We see a lot of people forget this one.

  • Clamp to a wreck

    A beam pulls you in, and to anyone hunting you you're now part of a dead ship. This is allowed, we checked.

  • Ping, if you have to

    You'll see everybody, and everybody in range will hear exactly where you are. This office accepts no responsibility.
