New command for mercenaries: assassinate target.

<< < (3/3)

Ulrek:
This idea already came with abuse protection, since it was based on a single mercenary being told to attack somebody at a time, and with a big, and random time difference between the time they find somebody unless you send an army over night to attack somebodies PvP alt, the mercs will always show up at different times, meaning they won't spawn as a group.

The amount of caps was based on pre-paying the mercs to hunt people down, since there will be merc upkeep when this kind of thing could be added, so his upkeep will be paid ahead of time while he's looking for the person.

And the level limit, well, if you want to risk mercs dying and losing all their gear, then you should be able to send them after anyone, which is actually alot nicer then spawning an entire squad of them on a level 2, at least he'll only have 8 AP to chase you around in TB, rather then a merc leader with a rocket launcher and 12 AP to blow up noobs with his bois.

1.  Oh yeah that guy just passed by like 5 minutes ago (RL Time)
2.  That dude came 'round these parts while ago (20 minutes)
3.  Ooohhh that guy.  Yeah he got in and out about an hour ago.  Prolly ain't around no more.

With Tracker perk, you can use mechanic by perk to check ground for footprints, they show up depending on outdoorsman.  100% being general enough amount, and you can use a dog dialogue to follows the player's path until he leaves by grid in past 15 minutes.

I would also think a dog could to some extent point you in general location of player.  *The dog seems earnest to go west.*

Like this. This way make speech-barter much more useful. Outdoors should be able to be used in square to check people passed by there in last 10 REAL TIME minutes, and Dogs could become Group Leader, wander around for a while, and if he can track down something, he start heading in his direction, for let's say 5 REAL TIME minutes, possibly leading to capture.
