dormant bounty(s) annoying me.

shambles1980 · Jan 5, 2016

Im getting quite annoyed with how bounty's are listed in my transactions list..
for instance one says its in "magda" but there is no such place on the galaxy map. and typing it in on the eddb.io page nets 0 results..
i have 3 of these impossible to find bounty's.

i want to go pay these things off. I wasn't sure who to kill when i started power play so i was killing every thing..
I need to do some money runs now to replenish the old credits. but if i end up in a system that i owe a bounty in mid mission and get scanned that will be beyond frustrating as i will be wanted.

The bounty thing really needs to name the system so it can easily be paid off. or even better if it would let you click "show on galaxy map" like missions do.

You don't get it. This is what FD calls "content."

+1 Agreed. Everything that shows up in the transaction menu should have a corresponding link directly to the relevant system/station in the maps.

Yeah that would be nice. Or the ability to find minor factions on the map with a kind of power play overlay.

i swear there was a web page you could type these thing in and would tell you the system but i cant find it yet. (i will continue to look through my book marks)

still shouldn't need to go find this info on the internet though.

And if i might add - while not directly related to the OPs request. Please, for the love of god, give us the option to "abandon" claimable bounty. Its somewhat annoying to pickup those 400 credit bounties (the other 99,9% of the bounty could be fetched up at any Empire / Federal / Alliance station ofc). Especially when you are out in a large ship and someone interdicted you in a system that just consists of outposts. Other than that, i totally agree with the OP. Transaction should always contain the System Name. Bounties as well as Trade Wing profits.

How about being able to sell the "collectables" at any station for a discount. With the discount being based on how far from the system the bounty belongs to, the further away, the higher the discount.

Many CMDRS have made posts about this, including myself. The more the merrier! Finding, clearing, and cashing those annoying odd bounties/fines is a much needed feature that has been ignored for too long!

That doesn't make sense. More distance - more paperwork.
I WOULD be inclined to some kind or rivalry and secret services of opposing major factions taking action, though. For example: I have bounty on my head in Federation - I get paid the sum by the Empire. That would be awesome.

cant bring my self to load up elite today lol.
was about to then thought but then i will just have to fly around aimlessly trying to find where i pay these stupid bounties off.. (which i already did for hours yesterday)
Well at least in a week or so they go away, or turn to fines or something, then i don't have to worry about them.

oh well guess il play again in a week or so, seems a shame though. may as well drop out of this power play thing if i wont be getting my credits, It is a terrible omission from the game.
It does not even need to show me on the map.. all it needs to do is tell me the name of the system. this minor factions name thing is a bit stupid unless you also have some display showing where the minor faction is.

Sorry, I was talking about the bounties that pay you money (when you kill someone) rather than bounties on yourself.
