To be honest Tiberius i think your being a little generous there, dont forget there is at least one commander who proudly displays a disconnect script as his sig on this forum.

Agreed. I really don't understand why someone would play in open and then pull a logoffski. I could at least understand if not condone it if there was no solo mode.
Exactly... There needs to be a bigger penalty for murder.
At the end of the day, the pirate can threaten, and if needs be damage your ship and even forcibly open the cargo hatch. But destruction of the other ship should be costly!
FWIW - I find the ship to ship communications set-up a bit awkward. The first time I was piratted, I planned some witty repartee or perhaps some creative begging, but he started firing shots across by bow before I could figure out how to talk back. So I just vented some bio-waste at him and got out of there.
I really appreciate the hard work all the pirates do, to make the game more exciting!

I get this all the time with the AI never mind another player. Its the interdiction "tether" system not triggering properly.
To be fair your right i did have this happen to me today
I think the OP is getting the bug not people logging out. I have been interdicted even in solo mode and come out to an empty instance.
If u murder someone that is "Clean" you should get the same fine/Bounty on your head as the victims Insurance.
That would make it more fair. And prevent griefing. Just my 2 cents
Cheers
Why should they have to negotiate with you? They have as much right to attack you as you have to trade. Although I agree with others on here that the bounty for murder should be higher, if you've greedily removed your shields and weapons and are exposing yourself with lengthy stints in SC instead of visiting stations close to the star then that's your choice and the risk you've taken. Keep your shields charged, boost away when interdicted and you'll be able to jump away very much alive. Just don't sit there expecting a chat.
That'll swing it too far the other way and making pirating a pain. There's a reason they didn't name the game Elite: Trader. Between higher bounties and smarter traders this can balance out fine.
+1 Couldn't agree more.
Yeah no, not going to work.
Why the hell would an Empire station care that a fed trader got bumped off XXX LY away? Why would a pirate or independent station give a rats anus about some no name trader who 'sploded no where near them?
No jurisdiction.
Just because you are "innocent" does not mean bad things will not happen to you. And just because someone is an "innocent" does not mean players should be penalised for killing them. Its all fair game, whether you like it or not. Its OPEN play. Dont want to get splatted by another player? PLAY SOLO.
There's more to Open, than just one player, splatting another!

In the last 3 days, I have submitted 6 times to CMDR interdiction and when I did I was alone. I searched around but nobody there. Looks like interdiction is bugged at the moment. 10 mins ago a CMDR tried to interdict me and I submitted but I stayed in super cruise except the sound effects were as if I had dropped out of super cruise. I continued on to the station with the wrong sound effects. I was annoyed because I am also a bounty hunter and have been looking forward to combating the interdictors. Not sure if this bug only occurs when they submit?
They want to pick on other people, so they play in Open and attack traders, but they don't actually want a fight, so they cheat to avoid it.

Its not so much the size of the fine that is the problem, its the fact that the crime doesn't stick, that wanted status should stick to you
