How do I check if I'm WANTED?
I checked my status with all the factions and Im neutral. I also dont have any fines or reports of doing criminal activity. I tried entering the Cleve Hub with docking permission and suddenly I just got told I'm wanted and got shot dead.

it'll say so in the right side of your HUD, next to your landing gear/cargo scoop indicator and below your thermal signature. It'll say so as well in your status panel (the one on the right), all of it upon entering the system.

That means it not active if you get scanned by a cop it will get active. So as long its dormant its like you are not wanted just dont get scanned.

I'd say this will be extremely helpful for now:

And i say "for now" because there's already a community proposal from developers to streamline the bounty process in the near future.

the trick to fixing a dormant bounty is to rush your way into a station that has the faction that gave you the bounty(usually the system where you got it). land, buy a sidewinder, fly out, get scanned, get blown up. bounty gone.

Anyway,, it seems like the dormant bounty you have is not the one that caused the destruction of your ship, so be careful. Check what system the bounty is from, and don't get to that system until it becomes a legacy fine, then go to an Interstellar Factors contact if you don't want tot go to the systema that instated the bounty. they can be found ususally in outposts and stations in low security systems to pay out that fine.

And you should already have a legacy fine for the bounty that did cause your ship'ss destruction. So check for that and pay it out as well. (edit: it probably got added to your rebuy already)

That used to be the case. Now using a sidewinder is useless since the rebuy cost of whatever ship you were fined with is added to the legacy fine. So getting blown up in a sidey doesn't make it any less expensive.

I am basing this advice on your time in game. Research the crime and punishment flow chart. System authority is mercilous and for good reason. Have insurace to cover loss as YOU WILL DIE AND NOT KNOW WHY Until you learn lots and lots. Loss is a huge part of learning so I try to fly a cheap ship mostly and my dream ship sits in storage as I slowly by parts for it. I take it out time to time where I know what is happening and it will be safe. Welcome to the galaxy cmdr.

Go up to a cop and say "Scan me." If after he does he starts shooting... you're WANTED!
