Gaaah 90k insurance + 30k unclaimed bounties

Lost around 120kCr because of a daft NPC that chose to fly into my line of fire ... sure situational awareness, but still that's way too harsh!
.
Sure if I kill a clean ship, or take down their shields, then I should get a bounty, but one shot ... seriously!
.
How about giving me a fine instead - that would seem much more proportional.
.
Yeah, I know this has been posted before (and no doubt will again), but it's not balanced the way it stands - bounties for actual aggressive acts like taking down a ship's shields for sure, but this ... gaaah!

How did you have to pay insurance and lose bounty vouchers for 1 shot ? You fought until you died didn't you ?

Not saying the "bug" is not annoying, but running away works fine and better when that happens... if you can effectively run away ;)

I seldom risk civilians anymore unless my missions clearly state that. ( Oh yes have plenty of traders to kill yet, they all clean as they can be, so everything is game as long as they are trader classes ).

Click to expand...

Yes he died, but not necessarily to the NPC that gave him the bounty. He might have been fighting something else and the other guy got in the way...then probably helped what he was fighting.

I flew back to the station to pay off the bounty when everyone at the nav point started attacking me (seconds after the stray shot), called up the station, got permission to land, got scanned as I came in and engaged silent running so they lost the lock on the scan, pulled into the slot at a fair old clip to meet a type-6 on it's way out! Managed to almost squeeze past it, but clipped something in the process and got stuck in the slot which resulted in the station 'clearing the blockage'.
.
This is an independant system with only one station, so unfortunately there was nowhere else (eg an outpost) for me to go and pay off the fine.
.
Next time I'll pick a system with an outpost to hunt in.
