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.

I really really love this mod!

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?

damn thats amazing, thank you!

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

any way to pay off my bounty?

Works with 8.0

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 :(

lol :) You're welcome Josh.

@Judas: you can disable the head hunters in the option menu and make use #1 and #2 above.

you could also learn to code and make a mod that does what you want instead of bitching about the fact someone made a mod for free that you didnt have to use

Look in between my posts leaving feedback another person posted the same feedback AGAIN! wow!

The cool thing from the author would be if they reviewed the reams of feedback that this mod is great except for the part that every user says isnt great? Nope :D Thanks! Keep being a wad of douche and I will keep using ur mods and disabling the shit i wish worked as advertised but instead works like teladi junk - overpriced and broke upon opening. You did good work until you forgot to pull the wad of cum out ur ass

Wayyyyyy to strong. The enemy headhunters will follow/find you no matter what, "actually search for your ships" pffff as if. And they are ALWAYS the perfect counter to whatever ship they are attacking. Its like the ship can see your ships stats and perfectly counter it, for example: if your ship has a max range of 5km then the enemy will only get weapons further than 5km and stay away and long range shoot you. Not only that but all the attacking ships will have this modification. DO NOT GET THIS MOD unless you like to have literally every single ship you have CONSTANTLY get attacked with perfect counters with absolutely NO penalty to the attacking enemies faction/industry. You could literally slaughter thousands of ships and the enemies econ would not change.

Glad you like it Josh :)

WOW this is SO COOL when I do NOTHING to deserve a bounty except maybe kill one ship accidentally in OOS or something and a few hours later Antigone and Argon are sending hundred million dollar kill fleets to chase me accross the universe deep into xenon territory for an alleged bounty of a whopping 137k apparently. Multiple behemoths, 40+ S ships equppied with destroyer killer missiles up the wazoo. /sarcasm. Apparently I can go to a bounty office somewhere to pay off a bounty for a thing I didnt do or dont remember that was not a blip for anyone except for the headhunters sending MULTIPLE hundred million dollar fleets to chase me. Ridiculous. Cool for the money earned for kills part. Dont bother turning on the other bull.

This mod is amazing!

Hi, nice mod :)
Which option disables the bounty hunters coming for me and does disabling them removes my bounty?

Is there by chance a way to have one of my ships that has a bounty automatically pay it off if there's funds available?

How to disable the voice prompt that a ship with a bounty is within range I am tired of hearing it lol

I'm noticing that these bounty hunters are very...loose with their bounty targeting.

Example would be that I have a freighter with a bounty. They spawn in a good distance away, and pass by a smaller ship that does NOT have a bounty, but IS a member of my faction.

They'll engage, and completely destroy that target, and any others between them and the bounty target.

If they're going to be attacking ships at random, rather then their intended bounty, then they might as well just call themselves raiders instead of bounty hunters, right?

When i reset the Bounty board will new bounty's appear or did i break it ?

It is possible by hailing any of the bounty hunters

Now is it possible to PAY OFF the bounty? :D

I just uhm...'acquired' a battleship that had a bounty, and now the buddies of the faction that I stole from (I won't say who! :P ) is now paying for a headhunter for ME.

Yep, that's always kinda been an issue with any hostiles flying next to stations or other friendly targets. The only thing that sorta helped me with that was playing VRO that has the faster projectiles and resulted in hitting friendlies a little less. Or one of those mods that reduces the effects of friendly fire directly.

I like the idea of the headhunters, but they like to attack my ships when they are near stations and if I am in system it inevitably results in my ships missing and hitting the station, causing the station to get angry and attack all of my ships nearby. That isn't really the fault of the mod, but it is an unavoidable consequence. There's no option in-game to tell my ships to move so they don't have friendly targets lined up if they miss.

They are bounty hunters though so it'd also be odd if they only show up when it's convenient for the player. They can be disabled in options if you need a break to do something else though and still retain the other benefits of the mod like general bounties, etc.

yeah being head hunted by groups of corvette's in the middle of missions is not ideal. especially when ive only got a silly small bounty. not even sure how i ended up with the bounty on me

I do like this mod, but the fact that 3 head hunters in ships worth 30m+ show up in random xenon infested systems to try and claim a 100k bounty from the lead ship of my fleet of 10 syns is a bit stupid and they appear constantly.

Any way to do some config editing to change options as long as SirNuke hasn't updated his API?

This is one of the best content mods for vanilla X4 period, I can't even begin to tell you how much fun and engagement i have with it

Sure thing :) I ended up getting pretty familiar with adding options with all my mods because it definitely became next to impossible to make everyone happy. Options is the answer!

EDIT to previous comment;
I've installed the recommended MOD UI from Nexus, which includes options for turning off Player targeting Headhunters as well as letting you board Headhunters.

I'll play around with UI options to figure out what works best, I appreciate the options!

Unfortunately uninstalling.

My experience with the NPC Headhunters has not been smooth.
Defending myself against them triggers police alerts, even when waiting for them to attack me first (unless I'm in an unclaimed system, but that's a rare encounter with headhunters for me).

Additionally, shooting off large ship components from the headhunters triggers (small) rep loss.

Finally, headhunter ships will despawn mid-fight at times.

I'm not a fan of being unable to board these headhunter ships either. I can understand a "balance" reason for making every boarding attempt against large headhunters "impossible", but considering this with the points above the experience has not been fun.

This sounds amazing!

quick question, if i enable no faction bounties does that restrict the bounties to only xenon or does it include khaak and pirate factions?

So. In my experience. To get it to work with Kuda you gotta, disable Kuda, enable HH, save. Then you load the game with HH, save (normal save). Enable KUDA, load the game. And then it should work. But if you star the game with both KUDA and HH for some reason not all features of hte mod will work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

This worked for me, as well.

I have the bounty board appearing empty :(

I just got + 12 rep for killing a 2m bounty. That might be a little out of hand. It was not even a hard bounty just someone that had accumulated enough heat on them.

Hello, you mentioned that better kill credit has not worked for a few years now, it works perfectly fine in my game. I look forward to using your mod also.

Any way to make the headhunters not hostile until they attack? I'm utterly destroying my faction reputation due to my combat ships firing on ships registered as my allies. I had to shut off the player headhunters because of this.

Gonna throw this here as well.

It spams the debug log with an error after the save is loaded.

Hey, one of my favorite mods out here, however is there a way to add a blacklist to this mod?

For example I'm aligned with a faction and don't want to attack these even when they have a bounty and I don't need to hear all the time "ship in sensor-range" haha ^^

Not surprised. My mods and KUDA seem to not jive well together for whatever reason. I stopped using KUDA myself about half way through designing all my mods so did not bother to check conflicts or anything with it.

Figured out. New Kuda changes attacks or something and causes bounties on this mod to not generate. Disabled, immediate bounties.

Should this be telling you when you get a general bounty? I'm getting rep for helping but I'm not seeing any credits being given for general bounties. (Not wanted bounties.) Killing xen in ZYA space, notably.

Do I need to get last hit?

I wouldn't use this along with better kill credit. They're both trying to do the exact same thing. As I said in the description also, as far as I know better kill credit hasn't worked for a couple of years now anyway.

I shot down a Xenon K9 that the yellow notification said had 700,000 bounty.
But I only got 68k afterwards...
Is there a possible conflict with better kill credit, or some other mod?
Did I need to take a mission before killing it?
