Description
UPDATE FOR 7.0+: Make sure to update SirNukes Mod API to the latest version for 7.0

Overview:
Head Hunter is a spin-off of the bounty kill credit function of my Roaming Fleet mod https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2980971677. (This mod can be used along side Roaming Fleet. Head Hunter bounty function will automatically take precedence.)
Leaving it at that would have been too easy so I took it a few steps further. This can be used as an alternative to something like Better Kill Credit which reportedly doesn't seem to be working anymore in 6.0. Head Hunter has three main features:

1. General Bounties
Killing ships will reward you a small bounty credit paid by those that want them dead in the universe. If you destroy a ship that is the enemy of the sector you are in, you will also be rewarded a small reputation bonus with that faction for keeping their space clean of baddies.

2. Wanted Bounties
When faction ships are destroyed, the owning faction may put out a bounty directly on the killer. This is where the real money is. Ships will rack up bounties and can become quite lucrative and probably dangerous to go after. This also comes with a larger reputation increase for the faction that posted the wanted bounty.

3. Head Hunters
Maybe you like to kill faction ships too. They still don't like that and may put a bounty on your ships as well. This will attract bounty hunters coming for your head...
It would have been easy to spawn bounty hunters on your face like a common Kha'ak and call it a jump drive, but that's boring. Head Hunters will travel and actually search for your ships, so they can be juked or hidden from. No cheating. They also won't disclose their true ship transponder code until they find you...

Mod Support API is optional, however extremely recommended. It will technically work without it, but then how are you going to view the Wanted board and choose some options? Just grab it.

New in v2.0:
- Big thanks to Mycu for adding a new map UI to view the bounty board without having to pause and go to options. See screenshot for location. You will need to install kuetee's UI extensions mod to view it: https://www.nexusmods.com/x4foundations/mods/552
- Double-clicking on a wanted row will center the map on the last known sector for that entry.

Does contributing partial damage to a ship give partial credit, even if it's not the final shot, like better kill credit mod does?

Check the settings in the extension options menu. You can toggle boardable headhunters.

Will the bounty hunter abandon the ship? I want to board the ship but it says it's not possible.

So I killed a K with a 7m bounty and got about 100k. I killed a fighter with a 2m bounty, got about 70k.

I can't get the Wanted Board on the map screen to work when I select both Show all locations and Show all factions. With both selected it displays nothing. Not even the Headers of Wanted Ship, Reward, Last Spotted, and Wanted By. As soon as I change it to Only known Sectors OR a specific faction it works fine. Any idea why or how to fix it?

You can pay off the bounty by hailing any of the head hunters and selecting the option to pay off.

Overall very great mod, but the one thing that I don't really like is that the bounty hunters that hunt you down sometimes have the Allied factions associations. I got hunted by 5 Yaki ships when I had +30 reputation with them, and I lost some when killing their ships :(
