They can still combat log which kinda ruins it.
Thank You, FD - Crime and Punishment has made actual bounty hunting a real thing!

Well, you make a solid case for that, Marc. I've been unconvinced in the past, but that nudges me closer to your side on the point.
*edit* However I will say that smuggling passengers you are moving a person with a bounty. Thus when you get scanned you pick up the bounty as an aider and abettor. With smuggled goods, it is just contraband.
The honest ones won't. Even made a friend out of the Vulture in the video.

The Victim
Wow! So yeah when Vin linked me this I thought I'd be one of his victims, not the HIGHLIGHT.
Anyways So yeah that was me, thinking I could avoid him a second time by silent running my way out, how wrong I was. I completely agree that the new system is amazing. I bounty hunt on occasion, but havn't since the new system came into place.
I was hunting Thargs and completely forgot I had that bounty, but his KWS didn't haha.
At first , I thought he was killing me for sport, since I forgot about my bounty. It was when I payed my rebuy and ended up 9 jumps away in a penal colony that I had realized.
Anyway keep it up, that was fun, and it looked even cooler from this perspective, it was intense in the cockpit, I got wrecked so hard and then he disabled me, I was like a dead goldfish floating before the kill slam lol.
Fly safe Commanders, and check your bounties

Great fight, man! That Silent Running thing was indeed sneaky. Had I been distracted I might have missed you!

chaff boost pick an axis chaff boost, try to use the coriolis as cover chaff boost repeat lol I tried my best
Well needless to say, it was fun, interesting and makes open that much more awesome to me and a big reason why I play it.Also I read earlier, can't quote it now but someone asked what happens if you have a fine in another sytem and are hunted in a system in which you don't.
well you get sent to jail, and on top of your rebuy there is an extra smallish fine that you pay on top, afterwards your ship is clear of all dirtyness, so you basically pay with your blood and some creds but then you can fly somewhat worry free.
Sure Vin, tell them how your night ended. Let's just say he was a little bit distracted...
Nice vid by the way.

lol - I got drunk and went to scan some cat coming out of the mailslot, hit the wrong trigger and shot a dumbfire at the station instead.
Insta-dead, insta-detention. Then I had to wobble my way all the way back to the CG. It looked something like this...

10/10 - Would get drunk and shoot the station again

Tracker limpets on the gankers using tracker limpets? A bounty hunter's dream...

Yeah, I think they sound awesome. I imagine they would only track known criminals, so clean CMDRs wouldn't have to worry about it.
100% this ^^^^
Don't change it FD, been waiting for this since launch.
Can't wait to see what you will put in around BH in future updates.

Well done for the evasion tactics, heading back to the station was smart. If you'd been in a sidewinder you would have been able to fly into the super structure.........But you probably wouldnt have survived the first shot.
Wait... I got a bounty on my Cobra from scanning some surface installation as part of a mission.
I can't get rid of that bounty in any way whatsoever? So my Cobra is basically "useless" for anything other than shady work now?
What if I just let my friend blow my Cobra up and pay the insurance for it? He gets bounty, I get insurance, ship gets cleared?

Yeah, when I said "don't clear unless", I mean they don't go dormant or disappear simply for dying. They have to be detected and claimed for them to go away.
As bigmaec said, go find an IF and you can pay off bounties if your notoriety is zero.

And yet you discharge your weapons in the no fire zone with no penalty. It's cool and all that bounties don't disappear, but there are still loopholes in their system.
