What's going on with Wanted Statuses?
- Thread starter DanTheMan
- Start date
Had exactly the same as the OP happen to me earlier.
NPC flies across my beams, leg it back to nearest station as I was in open and didn't want someone who could actually fly scratching my Asp, try and pay fine, couldn't pay it under "Contacts", right panel still had me listed as "Wanted" by the Federation and I was docked at a Federation station.
In my case, what solved it was swearing at the PC, logging off, getting a beer from the fridge, then logging back in - on my return I was magically clean.

You guys know who to PM to escalate this? I made a ticket but want some extra attention to it. I got this nagging feeling that these fines/bounties are not "gone" but just hidden, to reappear at the most unfortunate of times (in my case, when I have a full cargo of Performance Enhancer in my Anaconda 23 hours from now, that's 11 million of losses there...)

yeah i got that a few times too, and ticketed it.
the KWS didn't help; if i carry one i MUST scan each wanted ship before opening fire or i get wanted myself. sold the bloody thing as soon as i identified the cause. it still happened randomly without the KWS though - unpayable non-fines for victimless crimes. sounds like australia, where we persecute everyone 'just in case'
^ Ahem... Although this is usually the correct answer, as others have noted in this thread (see the 4th post, on page 1), the problem with THIS bug is that it's also sometimes causing you to be Wanted when you attack a WANTED ship you have already scanned... which should never happen. In any case, exit/re-enter clears it, but you lose your target and some time by doing so.
This has been going on for me today on every visit to a NAV beacon to bounty hunt, and is indeed a major annoyance.

It may be more than just an annoyance now as we are seeing reports of the fines not actually being cleared leading to ships being attacked at stations after relogging and the bounty/wanted APPEARING to go away. At least one person had a 400cr bounty that cleared with a relog, and then mission killed and got the 5000cr bounty for the murder, but the bounty reported as 5400cr...this is a HUGE problem...
Wow, maybe I shouldn't get on and play today. I was looking forward to doing some bounty hunting above Earth, but not if I'm going to get mystery fines and wanted status. I hope FD fixes this soon. I needs my fix!
Since my problem is about the earliest I can play every day, I will remember to move my ship to a neutral dock and change into as Sidewinder before I stopped today. So tomorrow I can go to the station and see if they are going to blow me to bits... In a sidewinder it's no biggie, in my Anaconda it's almost 9 million in insurance.
Was going to say something similar. My situation has been with refueling and repairing. Fully re-fueled and repaired, but still showing damage and less than full tanks. It usually updates once I'm out of the dock or log off and on.
Same here, after departure i saw a 400cr fine valid for 1h. directly returned and payed it off. Later at the nav i hit a wanted ship and got a bounty, flew to 2 outposts and 1 independent station to pay it, no chance. reloggt and it was gone.
i agree that these fines/bounty can reappear anytime... may all player should stick to outposts in the meantime (sorry for the big ships)

Got the warrant bug, and the hull bug, and at one point an error saying it could not find my save. Relogged and my save was still there but something is broken and in pretty scary way lol.
Also had a couple of instances of this last night. Docked in a few different places to pay of the fine, but nobody was interested. Logging out an back in cleared it both times. Ironically it's the first time I'd done any bounty hunting in a while.
Logged in this morning and everything still looks clear. Going to log a ticket anyway as I don't really want this to come back and bite at a later date.

write tickets! write tickets, write tickets, write tickets... don't let the devs think this is a secondary issue. it *needs* to get fixed immediately. fiddling around with wings and python training wheels can wait.
the game is borderline unplayable at the moment, for anyone who's trying to keep a good faction rep and also uses weapons on their ship

Snap. Also raised a separate thread...apologies
Verdammt! Just when I discovered that you can perfectly BH anywhere in a ring. Saw a video of a guy making 3 Mio per hour or so. I normally humt RES and got a nice Anaconda instance this morning making a bit more than 600.000 Cr in 1 hour.
Happened to me 4 times in 2 days -
Lost my ASP twice and had to restart from sidewinder now...
What a load of rubbish...
