Why have Bounty missions that give you a bounty yourself.
This is just stupid
Especially as you now cant pay it off.
Nice system
You killed him......

TIP: Check the systems(s) that they are in... do not accept the mission unless one of the systems is a Anarchy system.... i.e. no law, no bounty :)

- some description in the powerinterface are not complete, looks like there where "0" points needed for rank 3 and 4
- switching from galaxymap to a choosen systemmap often hangs, can only be aborted by pressing the escape key and switch to pausemenu
- plotting a galactic route including the target station was a fine feature, but station target is lost, when having a unexplored sun targeting on the way to scan. mean that station target was lost too, as i was interdicted and having a dogfight. that is not too dramatic, but it's a pity
- localisation was not complete (not realy new, seems like not one MMO was able to release a Patch/Update with a full working localisation) ^^

Thats all (bugs) i've seen so far while playing for a few hours today

Hey Atlantharo! Just to let you know we have a dedicated space on the forums for reporting bugs which can be found here: Link. In the bug reporting section we provide templates on how to create constructive bug reports and have a list of Known Issues which are updated frequently. I look forward to seeing you there. :)
 
Since there are Frontier personnell present right now, maybe I can get one question answered to which I haven't found a real solution, so far:
How are people who haven't bought the game, yet, supposed to find the demo, when there's no download of the launcher available for unregistered people? And no, a link to hosting.zaonce.net isn't gonna cut it... A demo needs to be able to be found without wading through a game's forum to be any useful. ;)

Anyone else pledged to Li Yong-Rui notice that all discounts on outfitting and high-tech goods are no longer available? Discounts were working at controlled / exploited systems for me until about 2 hours ago.

Hey McDeth,
Just a quick reminder if you see any bugs/issues with the game please report them on the Bug Reporting Forum Thread section. QA team scour the Bug Reporting Forum Threads daily, plus we have a list of Known Issues which you might find helpful when reporting. We look forward to seeing you there.
 
They are assassination missions so while the target may have a bounty - you have been sent there to kill them.

Correct! You only get the bounty on your head because you are attacking him in a system he doesn't have the bounty in / or as you say its an Assassination mission, as long as the rewards outweigh the bounty on your own head its fine :)

To the best of my knowledge there is no official demo therefore no official way of downloading it. There is a link out in the wild to a demo but it was not released by Frontier, it was made available by a non-Frontier person/s.

There currently isn't a demo of the game available.

I tried HIRES on BETA-1 TUCANAE a few times. The biggest ship I came across was Imperial Courier a few times, so I'd say my experience of them was similar. That was before a security ship took an arrow into knee and got all hissy at me. After that there would have been plenty of intensity to share there. :eek:
I'm guessing the RES's have been Nerfed as they were too easy to make money in. I used to make up to 2 million before I ran out of ammo. I only made 60K at the weekend so I don't bother now, just fight in CG - CZ's where you can make 500K - 1 Mill before you need a reload and re-arm. Still not decided whether I was better with 2 pulses in my Vulture in these CZs, you need more chaffs and banks on you but you can stay out a lot longer, my Pulse and canon mix runs out of canon rounds after about 500K CRedits kills, but it does kill big stuff quicker and frees up some Power and you need this I think as even these Mostly Harmless Condas are tough, almost as tough as the old Elite Condas!

They've not been deliberately 'nerfed' but they are more variable. There is an issue with the high and low intensity ones not scaling their difficuly correctly which is being looked into.

My question is based on that "demo" button that's in the launcher now. Apparently that wasn't as obvious as I thought. :p

Could we maybe have a little more indication of the legality of the assassination mission prior to accepting it?

The only ones I feel comfortable taking right now are the ones the state "Pirate Lord" in the text. The others are at best ambiguous? "Retiring" generals sounds like it's probably not legit? Same goes for killing celebrities?

Haven't you just answered your own question? Seems like it's relatively obvious given the description of the target.
 
And how about looking up the maps of the systems mentioned as the target's possible locations? Unless they're so rarely visited that there is absolutely no buyable map data for them whatsoever, the system maps will answer all legal questions.
