Ooh! I'm gonna watch that next!
Call me Commander Trigger Discipline, I just iced a clean eagle in a res zone. I found an anarchy base and am camping like a big kitten. Is there a notoriety timer buried somewhere, or do i just leave the game idle for a couple of hours waiting for my big scary notoriety to drop?
And no Vin, I'm not telling you where I'm cowering in an outhouse.

lol - just swap ships and go clean your eagle when the notoriety wears off in a couple of hours.
As a ganker, noob killer, murderer and salt miner I love the new C&P. They just gave the game the depth that it so needed.
Last night I was hunted by a group of bounty hunters in Eravate (I have 30mil bounty atm they would get about 3mil but my rebuy would sting), they actually had a warrant scanner! They were in it for the money, not some white knighting, I was hunted by 6 players simultaneously and managed to escape with 40% hull. I was terrified they will snipe my FSD and I would be finished.
With the new system I have to think twice where to kill and who. It carries a risk and adds alot to the game. I know many noobs had to sacrifice their life for me and the bounty hunters to have fun but such is the life in a cut throat galaxy, like in the jungle, the weak die first.
The rebuys hurt, and my ship is now outfitted for ganking purposes only, unlike PvP it has A rated fsd and a fuel scoop, I plan to put shielded B rated FSD because once its sniped its game over for me.

I do like the new system. I like prison ships making you pay off the full bounty. I like being able to pay off fines right away. I like notoriety ensuring those dying to serial griefers pay less in rebuy.
Having said that, there are some changes that I'd like to see:
* You should be able to pay off bounties/etc while flying a different ship.
* There needs to be more guidance to the local shady contact
* Most importantly: notoriety is totally borked for PvE.
I understand why the choices around notoriety were made (you have to stop people throwing out the BGS just by murdering), but the side effects are pretty dire. For example, in a Hirez I clip an already damaged NPC. I try to recall it, but my SLF is too fast and finishes off the NPC - getting me a murder. Fair enough...I should be more careful. But the notoriety means I now have to wait 2 in-game hours to clear that bounty. That seems... Unreasonable.
Suggested fix - Reduce the wait time to one hour. Give a percentage of a notoriety point for the first murder (0.5?) and then for every subsequent murder multiply the number by 2. Lastly, give PvP murder a higher multiplier.

Yay me, coming back to a thread WAY later...
As to me getting a KWS, nah, I'm terrible at PvP. As in a noobwinder would probably give my chieftain fits. NPCs are just about on my level...
Yes, but with the changes due to drop in 3.0.3 that KWS is going to make even wanted NPC more profitable...

Sounds like great fun, Algo!
The general population's reaction to the new C&P...

Could someone give me a quick ‘upcoming new KWS mechanics for dummies’ rundown please?
OK, before I take my meds for the evening (so please pardon me if a little off)
The KWS in 3.0.3 when used will expose the following:
All Bounties on a given ship issued by ANY faction residing within the system in question
All Bounties on a given ship issued by factions allied to the same superpower as the controlling faction of the jurisdiction in which the scan is performed (read Superpower Bounties)
Grants a License to Kill if bounties are uncovered - i.e. Ship may appear clean with Basic scan as no bounty from Controlling Faction of Jurisdiction, but KWS reveals Bounties that fit categories above (other Sys Factions or Superpower)
Hope this helps
Have you heard of CQC?
Have you tried GTA online? You get to throw C4 at people from sports cars and kill people with rocket launchers and miniguns. It's fun and sounds right up your street
Ironically, in GTA online if you blow up someone else's car in the open world, you have to pay the insurance....

Tasty!
Thank you for the help.
And once you get enough bounties (or a high enough value for bounties, I think it's undecided) for factions aligned to a superpower, your bounty goes interstellar, making it an active bounty in all jurisdictions owned by that superpower.\
In beta it was 2M, but in a more recent thread Sandro mentioned "5 bounties", so I'm not sure how they are going to ultimately implement it.
It's potentially a cool system, because instead of the KWS granting license to kill everywhere, you will be able to hide bounties if you're clean for a particular power, provided you put some care into how you operate.

Yep! I know, that is why the real salt will flow when 3.0.3 drops and people get locked out Fed/Imp/Alliance wide. Too bad they took out the Indy systems counting as a "4th Superpower" or it would have been possible to have CMDRs locked to Annon access across civilized space!
I find this satisfying on multiple levels. I'm Wyatt Earp in space, and now with the aid of the KWS I can finally bring some frontier justice to a galaxy full of miscreants. 3.0 is easily my favorite update since 2.0.
According to Wikipedia, Wyatt Earp's [...] reputation is that of the Old West's "toughest and deadliest gunman of his day."
Does that sound like someone who would pick on the weaker subset of wanted cmdrs or be about extracting salt?
