Sure... but take into account that said "bad guy" then wakes up in the last parking lot he was in with the option to replace his beat up pinto (minus the stuff he had in the trunk) for an identical one for the princely sum of $100 AND then the cops no longer care about him, and the rest of it seems a lot more reasonable.
Things in ED that make you scratch your head!

To be fair, Space Engine was first and didn't stop at our Galaxy, but simulates the whole universe instead. More accurately than ED could ever be, and with a lot more variation among planets.
And it's downloadable for free.
The sensor range/mass ratio in Elite being totally bonkers.
We have comparatively lightweight devices today that can collect detailed scan data from light-seconds away. Meanwhile a 160 ton scanner unit in Elite can only pick up vague signals at around 6km and can only scan a single target at a time.
Also none of the weapons have any sort of armoured housing at all. They look like laboratory test prototypes.

What really makes me scratch my head in wondering why it was done this way is rare goods spawns. Why are many rare goods only available in such low quantities that you get 1 or two of some every ten minutes, yet hundreds of thousands of tons are magically available for a CG?
It's a bit like the original Klingons... we don't discuss the original couriers.
(Have to agree, the old couriers were much cooler)

Soylent Green.
Why are all missions locked behind very large rank and reputation even though the reward is very small? Where am i supposed to do missions? They nerfed them many months ago so I stopped playing until they fix them. I tried it last week and still no missions available to me. (I'm flying vulture and have like 20M assets)

Because they disabled them at the time to stop people printing money, by now everyone has printed money using a variety of different methods so they could really roll this one back without any repercussions
Dogfighting in space. Why?
Yeah, I know it's a tradition from 1984 and as such it's fairly well done. But I would much prefer World of Warships styled naval combat with hyperspace artillery and hyperspace clouds limiting sensor visibility. Clouds would make smuggling and bounty hunting interesting too -- hide-and-seek.

Why doesn't the station 100,000 Ls away pay high enough prices to make it worth going there? Who is going to bother ship them food?
NPCs with railguns. They never miss, they shoot forever, they don't care about heat. Clearly overpowered and cheating, especially when low-tier ships like Cobra can do huge damage with this crap.
