===========================================
1. Overview
This plugin basically adds bounties throughtout the galaxy, during the game, new ships will be
created at stations and fly around the surround sectors and will allow the player to claim the bounties on them.
Bounties will expire after a certain time and new ones will eventually be created.
2. Bounty Hunters Guild
To receive the bounties, you must first be a member of the bounty hunters guild. To join the guild you need to look on the BBS in bounty hunters guild headquaters,
where the guild will sometimes offer you to join for a one time fee. Accepting this will join the guild and give you access to the bounty
lists.
3. Bounty Lists:
Once your a member of the guild, you can get details about the available bounties throught the universe. The bounty information is found
on the BBS where it will detail the bounty including the ship they are flying and the sector you can start your search.
There will be an option on the list to upload the bounty information to you personal logbook so you can view it again later.
4. Tracking Information
Tracking information can be purcahsed from the bounty display on the BBS, it will cost you 10'000 credits to upload the data to you ships computer.
This will highlight the bounties on the ship list in sectors. It will also add the bounty to the tracking command.
The tracking command is available in the ships additional command slots, and will display the sector, or station the ship is currently in.
5. Finding Bounties
To find the bounty ships, you will have to search the home sector given from the list and all the surrounding sectors, the ships
will travel upto 1 jump away from thier home sector, so for kingdom end, they could be in kingdom end, rolks drift, or threeworlds.
The bounties wont appear hostile to you, so you will have to kill or capture them and hope they are the right ships.
6. Claiming Bounties
If you force the pilot to eject, you have to scoop up the astronaught into your cargo hold and capture them.
once you have killed or captured the bounties, you need to return back to a guild station to claim them.
There is a command available in the ships aditional command slot to claim bounties, this will only appear if you docked at the guild station
7. NPC Bounty Hunters
Bounty hunters will be spawned throught the universe, these travel around the universe and attack the bounties as well.
8. AL Options
Spawn Bounties: This option will create the bounties for you to hunt, disabling this will remove any existing bounties from the game.
Spawn NPC Hunters: This creates bounty hunters that will compete against you in the universe.
Spawn Stations: This creates stations throughout the universe, disabling this will remove all the current stations, stations are required to join the guild and to claim bounties
LCD Display: This makes use of the Logitech LCD display to display the tracking information on the custom screen, only works if you have the G15 keyboard
