Hello and welcome to post release sickness for 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of the games out there.

Thankyou for letting us know, Mike.
I would encourage you to have someone examine the, as yet ignored, list of open tickets i have raised for these issues.
Broadly speaking... The faction system is almost CERTAINLY interfering with the criminality systems in some ways.
The best example of this...is when ships hostile because of faction issues open fire on a clean commander it dies not tegister as a crime. Yet retaliating... Gains you a bounty!

yepp this needs fixing soon.
suggestions:
- killing wanted ships NEVER makes other npc going hostile on you
- let bounties be redeemed on any station of a system and count it to the reputation of the faction in charge of this station.(much less complex then the not working system right now):

Any hope of a fix for the weirdness of wanted ships aligned with controlling faction of system?
I do a lot of bojnty hunting and have had no problems. Standing has improved in some systems and gone down in others for me.
Also rank progressikn is through specific missions from the bulletin bosrd.
This points to a deeper issue with NPC wanted status...
If it is set at spawn and does not change dynamically... Then this explains why hostile npcs don't go wanted if they shoot a clean commander...

Are you saying your reputation increases from handing bounties in ALONE or are you doing missions as well?
You cannot get navy missions offered without first raising your reputation... Which cant be done by gand bounties in alone, in my experience.

Did you really expect all the broken stuff suddenly vanishes over night and a properly working ED emerges with the number change to 1.0?
Frontier just invented DELTA after GAMMA.
The game wont be "release feature complete and stable" within the next few months.
Thanks Michael.
What about with the federal authority becoming randomly hostile towards you when you attack wanted ships?
Or are these two issues related?
Thanks
Im not sure half of the comments in the OP are correct. Iv been out bounty hunting, collecting a total of about 100k, docked up at a station that was not showing me as having increasing ratings, everything was just blank, neutral.
Iv then submitted my tickets and then been shown that i have upward going standings with the station faction and the Empire.
Now that might have been something else i did, but personally thats what i have seen on a few occasions. So its not all doom and gloom

I expected issues raised in tickets MONTHS ago to at least be addressed in some way...
That is NOT an unreasonable expectation before launch. ...
Ahh, thanks. The blue up arrow was confusing me. I also just turned in >100kCr of bounties, paying careful attention to the rep before & after, and you're right, it doesn't increase after all. I was assuming the blue arrow and the high status% meant it'd steadily been going up over time.

This is certainly not my experience. Doing nothing but handing bounties in has NOT shifted my reputation one bit. Not one "blue" arrow on the reputation screen fir haning bounties in.
Please make sure you are not confusing the issue by refering to the "system status" screen. The arrows in there indicate faction influence in the system... NOT your rep with them. (For reference... Killing ships DOES seem to effect faction influence in system status... That at least appears to be working)

It looked like all of the bounties are turned in to a pilots organization, not the specific factions. I may be wrong as I have only watched videos and am currently downloading the game. But, if bounties are not issued by a faction and are not paid out by a faction, why would turning them in give rep?
guys, calm down.
is it perfect, no. the issues described are real.
but they are also not a dealbreaker.
sure, at a Nav point you attack a wanted ship from the same faction as the security vessels, they will attack you. if you attack another faction wanted NPC, they stay calm.
I tried it several times and it works. is it the way it is supposed to work? Maybe not, but it is certainly not worth making a big stink out of it.
Maybe you dont get reputation for kills at a Nav point, but I believe hunting at a anarchy resource collection point brought me reputation. Again, it should be looked at but really not worth making a big stink about it.

that's stupid (sorry to be frank). So a pack of three pirates greet you. you start shooting one and the other two just stand by?
Nono! My statement was that nothing has changed/been fixed from Gamme yesterday to launch today. And that was to be expected, no matter how many flames those players got that pointed out that the release will not be much better than gamma.
I had to facedesk so often when people believed that its "just Gamma and testing" and everything will be sorted out at release. Speak about failed reality check, hehe.
