K-Warrant on an Eagle?

Hi All,

I had a K-Warrant scanner on my sidewinder - but after flying around in my Eagle for a day and a half - I can no longer find one.

I notice the Eagle only has a Utility point, and no maintenance mount. Is it a case that the K-warrant wont fit on an Eagle - or do I need to keep looking?

Yeah, I realise that - I sold everything first just in case when I upgraded to an Eagle on Sunday. Glad I did as I see you don't get part exchange.


Sods law too - I made this post after visiting each station at least 3 times looking for one. Now I made the post - Beagle's landing are selling them. So the Eagle can have the device - just need to find one.

Thanks.

If you save and quit and restart the game you will see different equipment available for purchase at the station. The best choices are at Beagle 2 and at Chango dock.

What does the K-warrant scanner do?

From what I've it lets you dig a little deeper as to how much a bounty is on a specific ship rather then just saying "wanted" on the display of said targeted ship. I could be wrong of course.

Built-in scanner shows if the target has bounty in the local system, however K-Warrant scanner scans the target for the bounty across other systems.

Oh that's cool. So if you pick up a bounty anywhere, it can be collected anywhere by someone with the right of access to your legal status?

In short: there won't be jurisdictional protection for criminality from those with the equipment and will to scan you? So you won't just be able to run off and hide in the adjacent jurisdiction after ganking Jonty? :D

Makes being wanted - at all - anywhere - risky even if you're fairly confident most people won't be looking for you.

Not entirely true. From a comment made by Michael Brookes, if a scan shows someone as "clean" in that system, even if they have bounties from other systems, you will get a criminal record for attacking them.

Yeah I can't say I am fond of the present roll system on what appears at a station. I could understand it with some items but you'd think you could reliably get certain stuff at a high tech world.:S

I assume the current system is just place holder at the moment.

Don't like the look and feel of the outfitting, perhaps wishful thinking on my part, but hope this improves.

Not being able to see anything unless you can afford it isn't great.

I even prefer the look of this !!!! http://img.squakenet.com/snapshot/326/1299-FrontierElite2.jpg As I can see quite quickly what is in stock, and the costs etc.

You can already see how much a bounty is without the scanner. Lock onto a ship, wait for the initial scan to take place (it will now say wanted and tell you the ship owner's name on your HUD). Now look into you targeting/nav panel, and flick through to I think the contact page - it will give details as to shield state and tell you the bounty there.

You can then use the K-Warrant scanner on the ship - look again at the bounty, and it has a chance to increase, due to flagging up crimes committed in other jurisdictions.

I use both of these points combined to see if it is worth getting in combat. A lot of ships only have a 50-100 credit bounty. I let them get away for two reasons:

1) Not worth my time - let other human players spend time on the small bounties - I can go look for the juicy ones.
2) A 50-100 bounty will be from something minor like a parking violation - I don't think that is worth a death sentence for!!!!

Perhaps I am too soft to be a bounty hunter!

It's placeholder, confirmed by Dev post.
Each station currently has a random "loot" table, where some things have a 100% chance, some 0% and everything else is random each time you load the station area.

If you *really* want that particular bit of kit, log out and back in again in Beagle2 until you find it. Beagle2 has most things, eventually.

"Buy" some bulkheads; the cheapest ones are free, 100% available, and it allows you to browse the rest of the outfitting stock. You can cancel the purchase when you're done window-shopping.
