Tracking down bounties

[ChaosCloud]

It might be an issue that only I have but I currently have like 40 bounties all over the bubble (well not really but I still lost the overview long ago) and I have no idea where to go to turn them in.

As in looking up the system in the galaxy map, fly there, and repeat the whole thing for each of them, as I usually get even more along the way as I get attacked by some moronic npc pirates that demand me to empty my empty cargo hold, if my current ship has one in the first place (Vulture doesn't, they don't give a damn, their funeral not mine).

So I'd like ask for the nice button for opening a mission target's system in the galaxy map to be added to claims too, and on top of that would it be also nice if they could be reordered by distance so the top one would be for a system that you're closest to right now, just so you wouldn't have to check each on the map first just to find out which's closest now to cut down on unneeded travelling back and forth criss cross.

That's not the only problem. The fact that it sometimes doesn't tell you the system you got the fine or bounty in is also rather annoying. For example, in the transactions tab I have a fine that says "550 CR Fine In Protectores Zemina Nostri" none of those words are a system. It's a faction. So I had to do some serious digging to find out that's in the Apurui System.

This is an issue that has had me scratching my head bald, and wishing I could have sat in on the meeting that made this ridiculous decision. I now have a "bounty" page filled with warrants from places I can't find, and bounties from places I can't find, and the icing on the cake...I have to page down for ever to find the bounties that I DO know where to turn them in. I must ask again...Have ANY of the devs played this game for more than 10 mins?

I just noticed I made the same suggestion half a year ago... https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=167496
Ah well, I'll try again in July then, when I'll probably have forgotten these two and still hunt after my bounties' origins.

I just periodically crash a sidewinder to clear the bounties/warrants...... it's easier.... 32k to lost the agravation..... especially since I run a large class ship a lot of time..... half the time even if i know the system i can't dock there anyways since the system only runs outposts....

Aw, I thought this thread would be about a system where we actually have to track and hunt our bounty targets.
Well clearing up the security guard vouchers we get would be nice as well.

That's a whole statement in itself how bad it is currently, so thanks for that

Not wanting to sound condescending but why don't people collect the bounties when they get them? When the bounty is awarded you are in the correct system to collect them (KWS bounties are Federation, Empire or Alliance so can be collected at any system affiliated to the factions) just collect them before you leave the system simples.
P.S. Protectores Zemina Nostri are in the Apurui system

Easier said than done, most of my several dozen came from me just passing through a system and being interdickted by an npc moron and then not being in the mood to delay my 'just passing through' even more.

Would be nice if they'd just turn in automatically after 2 weeks or so because really, this chasing after the systems when you can in rare cases no even tell where that faction is located at is a pain.

As for how I handle bounties now: not giving a f, if I dock somewhere I check contacts, if I can turn in something I throw it at them, if not, whatever.
