Bounties are going to be opened and directed towards the Bounty Hunters Guild. We are going to focus on putting bounties out on people who have done individual damage to the ASA, and NOT to other organizations. If you have a bounty on you, I don't care if you're Marek Starchaser, you handle that on your own. Its a personal attack against you, and as a technocratic government run by scientists and engineers, the look to the whole over the individual should be remembered. You can always ask comrades and brothers- and sisters-in-arms to help stand aside you, and use your own personal vessels/fleets to take down Bounty Hunters, but...
Unless a bounty is put against the ASA as a whole and not 'members of the ASA' or 'The ASA high command', our fleet will not take military action. We are working on presenting ourselves not as war mongering world destroyers, but as the most forward scientists and engineers in the galaxy. If parts are not working in the machine that is the ASA, maybe it is time to remove them.
