Powerplay Question about power play bounties in 3.0

OK, this seems worse than I thought.

I left the game running docked at a station for 8 hours last night. It was still running when I came back just now.

My notoriety is still 10. Shouldn't it have decayed?

My concern now is that I'm fixed at Notoriety 10 until Support get involved. This is effectively stopping me playing the game.

@Starman 1966 and @shustas any thoughts on the Notoriety issue...?

EDIT: Because the FAQ says that Notoriety does decay whilst docked but won't show until undocked, I undocked and redocked. Still Notoriety 10 throughout.

My Notoriety appears permanently fixed at 10 due to Powerplay NPC Undermining in an Anarchy.

2 hours of game for 1 point that is. Not sure you can leave it docked and go afk, but it does go down when you play tho
 
I'm stuck at 10 too because of undermining, I can't clear a 100Cr bounty because of this, and I play in solo and private sessions so... I guess I'm a criminal now, I should not protect NPC's in RES sites apparently.

According to the FAQ...

...AFK notoriety degrading whilst docked should work but you won't see the change until you undock.

Well, after 8 hours I undocked, redocked ... still 10.

Kind of ironic that we are sat here at Notoriety 10 for carrying out an activity which is expressly supposed to be excluded from the crime flow.

Raise support ticket. They removed my points. New patch is out too. Should not give anymore points for pp

Yeah, progress. From today's 3.0.2 Patch Notes:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Powerplay


  • Fixed Regular Bounties being awarded instead of Power Bounties with Independent Powers
  • Prevented notoriety gain from Power Bounties
 
This is dumb.
I fly in line with a Sidewinder as we speak, all non necessary modules off for fuel saving. I've refilled fuel this morning, it's flying while I'm at work too, tonight I'll be at 0 Notoriety.
 
How do i clean my corvette of power play bounties?

If i had of known I'd get uncleanable powerplay bounties on my vette i would have not bothered and unpledged from the power.

that's an unusable ship now until this is fixed.

Can anyone confirm whether it's a functional problem?

The Notoriety thing clearly is (mine has decayed from 10 to 9, still awaiting a reply from Support).

But with the Power Bounty, does it have any effect? (I haven't been able to see any 'hot' effect when transferring modules etc, but may be wrong.)

Puts an indefinite price on your head while any enemy powerplay CMDR can just come along and kill you.

So my question is> how do I clean my ship?
If the only way is to face a 40mil rebuy cost then f'it i am not doing powerplay any more - and until that bounty is cleaned I wont use that ship.

I'm afraid that the consequence you mention is intended by Frontier, it cannot be cleared, only claimed:

https://support.frontier.co.uk/kb/faq.php?id=423

Any other types of consequence might be successfully bug reported / complained about, but not that one, I think.

(I don't know what happens if you unpledge, wait out cooldown, then repledge.)
 
The PP bounties are indeed intended to work that way I think. I don't find it to hard to carry, after all it has no other consequences than PP pvp, I have 200 000Cr on my head for undermining right now and I didn't see any consequences in 20 hours in open game so far.

Flying straight with a Sidewinder all night long is a good way to get rid of the notoriety though (Staying docked at a station wasn't working for me). I'm clean since yesterday night as I planned, wich allowed me to clear my 100 Cr bounty and every module penalties linked to it.

No sorry the risk/effort/reward is in the negative - but that's power-play all over; a lot of work just to cover your costs, at best.

I've raised a support ticket to clear the bounty; if they wont then I will be buying a new corvette and putting the old one in the bin.
Since the modules are clean it shouldn't be a problem transferring them all over to a new ship.

But i'm done with powerplay.
 
What are the consequences of a power bounty?

Does it allow a player of the issuing faction attack you everywhere?

Does it cause NPCs to attack you in additional situations?

I also believe that power bounties should decay the same way as merits, so that they do not stay on you forever.
