I don't think giving more options, thought and planning on the part of the player is daft.
This should make quite a lot of people happy!

I was leaning towards the cop being an Elite Player who then stands up and shoots his saviour. Just me though...
This made me think of the Dead Pool 2 trailer where he is trying to change in the phone booth...Some of the mechanics in this game remind me of the horses and chickens that can witness crimes in Skyrim...
I'm glad it's sorted in .03
I won't miss waiting for a scan to complete while a wing of pirates pummels a lonely miner in a RES.
"HELP, THEY'RE TRYING TO KILL ME!"
"hang on, still scanning!"
"HURRY UP, I'M DYING HERE!"
"Hold on, I don't know if they're criminals"
"THEY'RE TRYING TO MURDER ME, OF COURSE THEY'RE @#&#!?@ CRIMINALS!"
"Done, here I..."
*Boom*
"Oh..."
Aw, one less thing to mock people for.
Oh well, there's still the "bounty-hunters" who can't shoot straight
You're forgetting people who will now see pirates shooting at a miner, and will start shooting the miner too and become wanted

Ah, silver linings [heart]
I believe in equality! Therefore, we shoot the pirates and the miners. Then we take their stuff, because we shouldn't be wasteful... Starving children and all that!You're forgetting people who will now see pirates shooting at a miner, and will start shooting the miner too and become wanted
Isnt another advantage of this, that two wanted pvpers in a system from rival player groups, who want to get it on with each other, can do so without the cops ruining the fun.
People complained about this for ages and being the fanboy that I am I always told them to scan their targets first. Now that it gets changed it's obviously the right way to go and we should all be thankful that FDEV listens to the critical part of our community...
Being a proper white knight is certainly schizophrenic at times
That is a very good change.
No, I'm not happy. I'm grumpy. I just can't help it. Whenever I have a happy thought I get a thought about engineers to offset it.
This once bothered me, but I've gotten used to it. The anonymous protocols go a long way to add to the believability. In days of old, pirates were known by their ships. If said pirate decided to take their leisure boat for a day and dress fancy (false ID, i.e. anonymous protocols) instead of like a pirate, they could easily go unnoticed through open water and even a port. Taking a more sci-fi approach, Khan (original) knew to find Kirk by finding the Enterprise. The Empire (SW) hates the Millennium Falcon, but our band of merry rebels (ROTJ) are able to slip past Imperial forces by using another ship and stolen ident codes (anonymous protocols).
I think the key is to NOT compare it to cops scanning license plates on cars, though even modern police will put out an APB on the vehicle, as that's what people will see (thus smart criminals ditch said vehicle ASAP). I will grant that there are a few holes in Frontier's implementation, but that's ED in a nutshell -

I may be missing a well known forum in-joke or something so apologies if that's the case but did you know you have a spelling mistake in your sig Zig?
I assume you're referring to the missing L in boldly. If I had noticed it, it would have triggered me as well. Lol. Well spotted sir.
