I wish they'd just let me pay the stupid thing off so I could participate in the community goal with my friends.

Paying off bounties were a bit problem. It meant people with money to burn would randomly commit crimes without feeling any punishment. They would just quickly dock, pay off the fine, and go back to killing people without a problem.

New system could do with improvements, but going back to the old system isn't the solution.

You cannot remove a bounty in 1.5 Via getting yourself killed. You have to wait out the timer, which can be up to 7 days. If you get scanned by a space cop (sounds better than system authority :p), then the dormant bounty will once again become an active bounty, and the timer will be set to however long the bounty requires. If you die with said re-activated bounty, it will once again become a dormant bounty with seven days left.

TL;DR Bounties are now a neverending cycle of crap. Get away from the system you have the bounty in for the next week.

Or just learn to not get scanned. Its easy, you, know.

I don't get scanned. This is from the wiki lol. If in any way you happen to gain more of a bounty in that system the timer will reset to 7 days as well. So if you know, went 6 days without getting into trouble, then accidentaly hit a clean target (or unscanned hostile), you pissed all that time away. It's easier to just move to a neighboring system.

Personally I think that they need to have a cutoff... as in you get a "bounty" you can't pay off which is "dormant" till you have accumalted x amount of them. You can't pay it off, but neither do you get one shot off target in a mass fight and have a ton of feds converge and kill you for 500 creds!

It'd be kinda like driving license points... they hang around and when you get enough you have problems, but initally it's not a problem till you become a repeat offender.

Not a bad suggestion at all.

Certainly better than the current setup.

6 day, for nothing.

first time 200cred, now , after death its 600cred, and all i wanted is to get away from the station...

[Froskur]

I understand why they did it, but it needs fixing. I like the points idea. I was aligning with trajectory out of an orbital station where I just took the community event and a federal ship ran in to me as I was turning and I am the murderer? How about he is the dumb@55 and needed to die? But now I cannot participate in the CE...argh

Anyone else agree that this bounty system is pretty poor game design?

Yes and no. Its half way there. If they can remove the exploits it will be a bit closer.

Next step is to tome down penalties for accidental fire and have more NPCs hunting persistent offenders.

I have had, and just got a new one, four 6 day bounties due to hitting a minor in a RES that was then killed by a pirate. Best thing to do is Jump out of the area as soon as you see the bounty appear. That will save you from being responsible for helping with the kill. The new one I did not make it out in time.

Wait some time until it expires, jump to another system then return and pay off legacy fine.
