A major gameplay element of Elite Dangerous is Bounty Hunting however, contrary to what they label it as there is no capturing element to Bounty Hunting just destroy.
I feel this is enough for FDev to take two possible actions.
- Completely rename any mention of ship Bounty Hunting to just 'Hunt and Destroy' or 'Take Out'.
- When a ship that has a bounty attached to it has been destroyed you collect the escape pod from the debris and take that back to the station to claim your payment.
What do other commanders this, and what type of extended gameplay would you like to see associated with bounty missions?
I for one would love narrative missions, you have to take out a ship, capture it's pilot via escape pod then bring to a station where they can be interrogated which gives you a mission at a settlement to speak with someone (who can become hostile depending on what you talk about), get a radio signature for a ship you need to hunt down and rescue a kidnapped person via escape pod.
