Not really since bounty's exploiters are hiding the real bounty boys. Those playing in open, waiting for some kind of bounty hunters to hunt them down. Actually, showing TOP 5 bounties with 4 on 5 playing SOLO is an immersion breaker... Or is there some kind of parallel dimension discovered in 3300th ? Oh yes ! Stargate !!!! You can go through, everything is the same, just not the people.

Of course we all knew it would be incomplete. I don't think anyone expected it to be quite so incomplete, however. My problem is not the incompleteness per se, but the positioning it as ready, when it clearly was not. Had it been positioned as a continuing gamma, but new folks could sign up if they wanted, there would have been less angst. But also, presumably, fewer sales, and fewer angry customers. FD made their decision for understandable financial reasons: these are just the inevitable consequences of that decision.
oh right I'm just gonna look at an Empire bounty board now
BTW I think 64 is a fairly high number, not a low one

I can promise you, they are not doing this in solo. It is more or less in a private group or in open play. Still, this sort of play should not be condone by Frontier what-so-ever. I'm inclined to say that bug is game breaking!

Well, yeah...Im not saying that isnt an immersion breaker. Just make it so the bounty board doesnt show anyone who isnt currently in open - Or like someone else posted, just make the bounties mode specific. Actually, that would satisfy alot of people lol - it would give a Lite version of a separate mode. Try pirate in one mode and in another you are Jonny b. Good
lolThere is 2 think we are talking :
- Regular guys playing SOLO with a high bounty (hiding OPEN PLAY high bounties - this is a gameplay design problem)
and
- Those freaking piece of ... socks exploiters. Dammit ! Since when are we accepting cheaters and exploiters in a game?! Never ! Never since the dawn of mankind !

It appears to be aimed at small factions and independent system that were being used to amass absurdly high bounties to be exploited as I stated above.
Edit: Someone call Derath back into the game, this is what he wanted to see happen.

LOL!
You have no IDEA what faith means! Go ask about FighterOps!
Kid, you crack me up... no young and naive...A matter of faith? Powerplay is behind the corner- NO ONE (not even you) knows what's that about but anyone can agree Frontier can keep a secret (whether it was intentional or not!).
You do SOUND like someone angry at the sky- and the more you reiterate the point the worse it gets.
What is the purpose of this change then? So people who still exploit billions of bounties are at least visible on the big three bounty board?
Yeah.. I also asked about the fines turned into bounties... If your fines are over 1MCr, what happen ? You wait your fines to be turned into bounties then you pay it off ?

Then don't. Come back when you feel the time is right and the game is ready. If 2-3 years does not bother you that should not be too much of a problem.
More or less, it is aimed as a solution to a bug with the bounties that just duplicates bounties to astronomical levels while being completely illegitimate.
Edit: This now shows the Controlling faction a little more respect with their abilities to place higher bounties.

I thought Derath left because of the exploits in PVP, Submit-boost-FSD on interdiction, combat logging and beacon shield recharging, and he was merely annoyed that his #1 spot on the Federal bounty board was taken over by exploiters.
Your opinion is just your opinion. I'm playing a game I really like, incomplete but enjoyable. I'm sorry you don't feel the same.
Faith, you use that word. I'm not sure you know its implications...
Waiting. Do you know what THAT word means? The game is largely playable, with constant input and tweaks from the deveopers, and it's yet still only months old.
I seriously can't see, try as I might, what's your problem.
I tried, you make no sense.
I hope things will work in the future, good bye.
*Ignore drive initiated*
Yeah, its a shame, but at least this is more or less a sign of good faith by Frontier. Looks like they're working on fixing them. Which is great.
This is one of the first important steps, if you will. The next would be to revert or punish those who abused this known exploit.

You are not the only Beta backer here. I have been where you are at. I was disgusted when I seen the Bulletin board. I still think it is a poor mechanic, but having said that, after all the gripes that I still have with the game I do see it improving all the time and I have seen a solid effort from the FD team to provide the last two updates through which have been game changers. When the next update comes through if it is as good as what we have seen so far then I believe ED will be in a very good place. Personally I am quite excited about powerplay as I believe it is an enhancement on wars and the background sim. It might be an introduction of smuggling as a viable career choice. This is all good stuff. Sure, somebody somewhere will not get what they want and there will be bugs and there will be stuff that will need adjustment. So what? Bring it on FD. Lets see some more background sim development and troop transportation etc.
Personally I am excited
