Bounty

What Is It?
Bounty is the currency that is recorded by your score in the Galaxy. Bounty is earned by destroying other player's ships. (Not including the Wasp or Wyrm). The amount of bounty awarded per ship destroyed appears to be a function of the cost of the destroyed ship. Bounty is lost if your own ship is destroyed, and many players find it difficult to get bounty and keep it. Not having bounty doesn't make you a bad or inexperienced player, as many very strong and experienced players simply don't actively hunt for it. If you kill players that have bounty, you won't be given bounty but instead will take their bounty as credits. The record for the highest bounty ever was MasterPlural with 7.100.000+ (although he have since "lost" it to his alts and others).

How To Gain Bounty
To gain bounty, you must destroy a ship owned by a player with no bounty. This is called Pirating.
