Crimson fleet bounty system is dumb and should be changed....

[Buurt]

You can join the crimson fleet pretty early but 1/3 of all enemys in the story and other side quests are like crimson fleet people, so killing them in the story ends you up with a big bounty everytime.

Its kinda dumb to make a faction but having them give you a bounty for like 1/3 of your playtime... they either shouldn't give you a bounty if you are forced to kill them in story or they should remade that whole system with crimson fleet.

Because right now it feels like joining them before finishing 80% of the other content is just more annoying than fun. I wanna joing them early but I don't wanna use 90% of my money for bountys....

Yes, yes, yes - they even kill themselves first time we're on the Key and no one has issues... that's so stupid, it removes big potion of the fun AND you cant do many side quests because it'll generate some horrendous bounty...
How did no one catch that in the testing process... it's mind blowing

Also, when you try to pay your bounty with the Crimson Fleet they confiscate your stolen items. Why tf is a pirate faction worried about stolen items? Bethesda should remove getting a bounty with the Crimson Fleet altogether. It doesn't make any sense.

I got that infiltrate the Crimson Fleet mission as one of the first things, and then spent about 20 hours with no real enemies, because all the pirates were friendly.
I could land at any pirate base and walk straight up to the loot box and leave.

I remember doing one of the GalBank quests and I had to get money from some CEO.
CEO was being held by pirates, but since I was still infiltrating them, I could just go up to the NPC, and she thought I had saved her... Gave me the money and sat back down with the kidnappers.

Concentrate on finishing the Crimson Fleet quest line. Fixed.

It's a feature. While she was thankful you made the journey, the Stockholm syndrome had set in and she decided to remain. Mark my words, easier for them to change the dialogue than fix the issue entirely.

How is it fixed if you join the Crimson fleet. half the enemies are pirates and if you kill them, your bounty with the fleet can rise very rapidly. first kill on a planet/base is an automatic 15k bounty.

The first kill costs 15,000, but once you kill the last witnesses, the automatic 15,000 is removed again.

I saw this a lot in my first NG+ run when I played a villain and always shot down UC and Freestar ships straight away.

But still, I got my bounty to a whopping 4,131,514 on UC and 3,838,507 on Freestar
