We can remove the UI from players, and maybe, *maybe* do a massive hack to disable AI placing bounty, but not easily... and yea that's the farthest we can go...The game's engine is locked down, called hard coding, where we can't really change much of the underlying system. I've heard that we can remove the ability to place bounty on others, so that the pirates will just attack whomever they choose, so that will likely be what we end up doing. Other than that there isn't much we can do.

Ouch... that's really hardcoded... that wouldn't work either. I've got a couple ideas I'm playing with tho - Gotta test those when I get a chanceIf you accept a peace treaty with another faction, doesn't that disable the ability to place bounty on their heads? Could you isolate that part of the peace treaty and make it true for all players?
Third time this day...

That sounds fine. As long as IT NEVER EVER attacked the same player twice. OR just leave it and change the reason like "ONI sector 9 (Based on Flood research) requests funds to research flood dissuasion and prevention tactics and methods."The game's engine is locked down, called hard coding, where we can't really change much of the underlying system. I've heard that we can remove the ability to place bounty on others, so that the pirates will just attack whomever they choose, so that will likely be what we end up doing. Other than that there isn't much we can do.
