Head Hunter
UPDATE FOR 7.0+: Make sure to update SirNukes Mod API to the latest version for 7.0
Head Hunter is a spin-off of the bounty kill credit function of my Roaming Fleet mod https://steamcommunity.com/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:
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.
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.
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.
