NPC ships fire on when they do their scan, but that goes unpunished, unless you scan them. Cops hit you stray fire all the time in the res sites, and yet that's legal. It's only a crime if it's a PC player. The amount of inconsistencies in this thing is amazing. Come back to me when you've actually been in a firefight. And tell me how many people you saw running across your line of fire. How many of the enemy came up to you and stood in front of you firing. Armchair warriors, the same the world over.
Where it will go ignored! Or get some boilerplate response 'We'll pass it along'

Negligently. Not accidentally.
And to add perspective. Prior to 3.0 you waked out and sat somewhere for 8 minutes, or if in a hazrez, killed everything then waked and waked back to system. Now, it's a clusterf....!
That's a silly knee-jerk answer. You've been here for more than two years, so far you've seen 6 major updates to the game, and although the pace has been slow on the faetures side you can't deny every update comes with a lot of bug fixes. How do you think Frontier were notified about all those bugs and were able to reproduce and fix them if not thanks to everyone submitting reports?

lol - if I weren't on my phone I'd post one of those little heart emojis with the smiley face in it.
This is the good time

Tell me, are you familiar with the phrase "so full of it that your eyes are brown"?
Yeah, NPCs hit me with stray fire all the time. I fly with "report crimes" turned on like a law-abiding pilot and you know what? If they hit me hard enough they get to be wanted - because I'm clean - and I can then shoot 'em back. In fact it's stricter than for players. They don't get a friendly fire allowance like players do. One hit and wanted.
Folks running across my line of fire happens too, but I can usually let up on the trigger fast enough. It's a lot easier with other players in the firefight than it is with NPCs, they usually have better situational awareness than bots and are actually trying to avoid my fire.
Armchair warrior? How about the ones with their heads so far up their thrusters they've all the situational awareness of an asteroid? Git gud, noob. (Darn, I thought I'd never get to say that)
What else do you expect from a bug report? You won't see any more until it shows up in some future patch notes.

Now you wake out and stop off at a low SEC to pay off the bounty, then jump back. I don't see how it's much different.
I'm well aware of the bug board. I've contributed enough on it. Even got a response 4 weeks later !!
Fact is, this wasn't tested near enough, and as is the way with FDEV, releases are released as a bug fest, and left to the players to report the bugs, which 'might' get fixed in a future update.
That wouldn't be so bad, if the system wasn't bugged in a way which won't let you pay it off !!!!!! Try to keep up!

Worked for me. Ok, so you encountered a little bug. Report it and it will get worked out.
As I said here or in some other thread today, I accidently shot an npc while bounty hunting and didn't get so much as an "ouch" out of the guy. It was the typical running through my are of fire while I was firing thing. It wasn't an intentional shot.
In the old system, I'd have had a 200 cr fine and all the cops would have immediately turned red on me. This did not occur. So the accidents aren't getting you killed or tagged as bad as they used to.

^ this.
I do wonder thought whether the threshold (does?/should?) scale based on the victim/target and the actual "damage" caused. An engineered cutter can take a hit without blinking which would otherwise one-shot a stock sidewinder. Obviously the latter is manslaughter or murder (based on intent) but if we assume something in the middle.. should the damage done to shields hull be factored as a percentage of total and the threshold based on that, rather than absolute values (assuming the latter is what is currently live).
When!?
You always had to do hull damage to get dinged for fire on an untargeted ship. Since the bigger/tougher ships can be assumed to have tougher shields then there is indeed a measure of the scaling you're talking about. Unless the bad guy has already stripped their shields of course...
Trust me, you do not want to go down the ad'hominem attacks with me.
Goody for you
So computer controlled NPCs are less aware of the area than the player. Do you know anything about software development and artificial intelligence?
I'm glad you got to use your crayons. Now! Yes I have been in real combat zones, and unlike you, I do know how to handle weapons. This is a game with a crime system that is so far off the mark it's crazy. I see your combat rank is way below mine, on all of my accounts, so I'm sure you know the term... 'scrub' <o

It sounds like the bug is not preventing ALL use of the factors, just some
