Reward for shooting down a pirate ship

[MocarnyKnur]

I shot down some pirate ships for which there was a 100,000 prize but I did not get it, does anyone know why? Any bug? or
If I shoot a ship for which is the prize, do I have to inform someone or do something else to get it?

I think they fixed it last patch, yesterday I got one bounty.

I've been getting bounties, but it seems that if you're close to stations or you're not the only one fighting the pirate, you won't get a bounty. After I got a freighter and a combat frigate it seems I get bounties even less frequently.

2 things ive seen....one...be the first to shoot the pirate or you will not get the bounty....second if there are other ships near by do not hit any of them...you will not get the bounty....

I have been the only ship around bounty pirates and killed them with no one else around and still haven't recieved a reward apart from resources they drop, it is just bugged, hopefully HG will fix at some point.

I came across a fleet of capital ships just two days ago and went to help one that was under attack by 8 pirates. Having finally destroyed the last of them I was invited aboard the capital freighter and upon speaking to the captain he gave me command of his ship and an associated frigate. I paid nothing, was not on a mission and was frankly pretty surprised as it was totally unexpected!!!

this bug has been in the game before christ was born

I get the reward, but there is no message about it, if you check your credits you will see: 100k more, or 300k more (depending on the pirate rating).
