Bounty claim problem
Picked up an incidental bounty claim, it says "collect your bonus from an authority contact at any station" but it will not list in any authority contact I tried. Logged and relogged multiple times.

Any ideas?

Should read as:

"collect your bonus from an authority contact at any station that the minor faction the bounty is for, has a presence in."

Meaning, the bounty is for a particular faction, that faction has to have a presence in the system for you to collect the bounty.

Alternatively, find an Interstellar Factor - they'll credit you the bounty for a "reasonable" 25% fee.

Awesome. No biggie but it's hanging in the list so wanted to clear it up.

Appreciated.

Strangely there are so many things that can stress out people with even slightly obsessive state of mind. You know when you outfit a ship, and really want that vehicle hangar for one reason or another. Then realise you only have a class 3 slot to spare, and hangars can only be 2 and 4... it just doesn't feel right to stick class 2 module into class 3 slot. IT AIN'T RIGHT MAN. It drives me up the wall.

If you have oddball bounties or fines you can resolve them at an interstellar factor. There is a convenience fee of course.

With respect to OCDs, you are so right, the best bit is reflecting on them in places like this, I cannot for the life of me fit a 2 Rail Gun to a 3 spot, it isn't right, anyone that does obviously doesn't know what they're doing. I love listening to myself justify the point in my head, I am nuts. :steamhappy:

And the spelling of "nuts" as ntus would have driven me to the edge aswell, that's the reason for the edit.

Speaking of OCD, the problem we have now with your edit is we now don't know you spelled nuts wrong so the need to mention the edit is redundant. You waste the lives of electrons needlessly.

PS: 'aswell' is 2 words.

You're a blight on the internet Sir.
