====== Bounty System ======
When a ship get destroyed by another one, its faction may decide to put a bounty on the head of the offender. If you manage to kill said ship, you'll be awarded with the bounty. One exception to this rule is that factions you are at war with won't pay you anything. Value of the bounty varies according to the gravity of the infraction. You can see how much you've received when you scored a kill in your journal (Empire Manager → Journal).
You can see ships that have a bounty when you have them selected. Also, if you open a communication channel with them, you will see the total bounty on their head.
===== Bounty Hunters =====
Most factions, except the Pirates and the AI Core, will spawn bounty hunters. Those ships will roam the galaxy looking for other pilots with a bounty on their head. If you play as a pirate raiding transport ships, expect to be hunted down by bounty hunters.
In future versions, you will be asked to pay up before being attacked.
