where the **** are those interstellar factors ...
Hi ... i've spent last 3 days looking for a f***** interstellar factor to remove my 20k bounty and I can't find any.

i've read tons of guides, all of them says the same thing:
- open galaxy map (done)
- filter for interstellar factors (done)

the game says there is 1 in wolfsegen and 1 in sharur.
i went to those f***** sectors and ... no interstellar factors !

this is getting frustrating ... a lot.
Can you tell me WHERE in those ****** sectors should I look ? Cause i've had enough of flying around pointlessy !

Low security or anarchy security systems (not every port has them).
If you have Odyssey: any anarchy faction controlled settlement.

Check the box for interstellar factors.

Guarantee there is one within 20LY of you. Probably multiple. Well, unless you are somewhere remote.

Sure.

If in Odyssey, a lot of the orbitals (big stations) have interstellar factors by just going to a terminal.

If in Horizons, they will only show up on the galaxy map if you have visited them previously; however they are also mostly present on the big orbitals/planetside stations.

cheers

I just use my map with the "Interstellar factors" filter on

Those filters don't seem to work half the time for some reason.

I did yesterday and today, and i did it now.
It says there are interstellar factors at:

- Archias Port (Sharur)
- Battuta Station (Sharur)
I visited them and guess what ... no ****** interstellar factor !

Then it says:
- Detention center (wolfsegen)

SAME F***** S*** ... no interstellar factor.

I'm starting to hate this game ... what should i do ?
I landed on those stations, checked "contacts" and no "interstellar factor", nor any way to remove the fu**** bounty !

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ !!!

Ok, I did found one, but still can't pay the bounty ... why ?
Maybe the problem is notoriety ? What should I do to get free of this bounty ?

You don't see the interstellar factors even though it should be there simply because the faction(s) who gave you the bounty is present in that system, so you'll have to do like I did and try a bunch of them untill you find one that show up.

If you have notoriety you can't pay off the bounty, it take 2 hours gameplay to lose 1 notoriety point.

Notoriety has to be 0.
The faction that issued the bounty cannot be present in the system you're trying to pay in.
Also the Galaxy Map only shows filters for systems you have visited, doesn't it?

IF may not be available because sometimes change depending on BGS state.

That's strange. Inara is usually very accurate, especially for things that don't change.

Correct. The map only shows IF if you've found them before.

Also - Sharur is in the starter zone, and there's only one faction there, isn't there? Therefore IF won't help, and you'll need to exit the starter zone to find one.

Did the devs mean "Faction"? wtf is an international factor?
Rragar Jan 10, 2022 @ 9:19pm 
The ones I can remember out of my hear, are in Christian Station in Ross 719, another in L 119-33 (Oersted Dock, not sure about other stations). Used to be one at Kolibalita at the one station there but I'm not sure if it's still active after the place stopped being under control of the Alliance Outriders (if that one doesn't work anymore, try at the Baramanago system; it's one jump away).

The one in L 119-33 should be one or two jumps away from the nearest starter zone system.

No, they indeed meant factor.

"A factor is a type of trader who receives and sells goods on commission, called factorage. A factor is a mercantile fiduciary transacting business in his own name and not disclosing his principal."
