The way to mitigate the problem for us sloppy shots is to use turreted weapons which rarely hit innocent bystanders or smart rounds if you have engineering access which self destruct to protect you from stray shots.

They did a stealth Nerf to rank gain as well.
Superpower Rank-up Missions have been moved to the Follow On Missions section to make them easier to find
You have to do missions to get Follow on Missions.
Fraction of missions give Follow on Missions.
Navy rank missions are not priority after reaching 100%
Follow on Missions do not change once offered (this makes seance)
I was only able to try things out for a few hours this morning. During my time I ran courier and data transfer missions from Gang Yun and filling up before I returned. I did 3 round trips all with 100% in rank (I had to refresh the board several times to max out on missions). I was offered around 8 Follow on Missions all planetary scan NONE for the Navy.
So even if you grind the rank good luck getting the missions to unlock them.

LOOOOOOOOOOOL
They don't need expensive ships to gank people. A wing of PA FAS are more than enough and rebuy is cheap.
The new system has left ganking UNAFFECTED.
Organic PvP is affected. Its become very hard to find. Outside of people pulling me then logging I haven't had a good fight outside of my regulars

So, how does this work then, Sandro?
If I KWS and it detects bounties as per [1], but those bounties are not jurisdictionally aligned as per [2], can I still collect the bounties if I kill the target? Does that mean that I'll myself become wanted if I do so?
reopen outfitting but with only one module available - Fuel Scoop.
Assumption being all IFs are within range of a star able to refuel from.

I understand that and never said otherwise.
Possibly but then why the need to prepare a new ganking ship?
How is it affected? Is paying off a bounty when you need outfitting really so harsh that people will no longer engage in pvp? Seems unlikely..
There are 2 REAL objections to the change IMHO:
1) People want to play as a criminal and be able to keep the wanted tag. Fair enough, I hope FDev find a suitable way to do this.
2) People want to be able to permanently avoid the costs of their crimes as they could before.

As someone clearly who does not PVP much, you do not realise how wrong you are.
Ganking is easy, STUPID easy!
If I wanted to gank, I could do it all day in in the most lightly engineered Viper.
Put on some grade 3 thrusters. Some overcharged Multicannons ( gimbled too ).
Stock biweave and some HRP. Maybe G1 them for extra hit points/resistance.
Find weak ships and gank away. Would never die and if i did, cheap rebuy.
What you don't seem to realise, is terrible pilots in weak ships, do not take much to Pop.
It is near impossible to pop a decent pilot in a stronger ship, because of high wake. So this will not have changed.
If you want help learning how to gank. Many would be happy to teach you and then you could speak from experience in the future

You said moving to cheaper ships
A good ganker in a Vette/Cutter will never die. FAS point is just to illustrate ways around if they happen to die often.
New ganking ship in order to keep PvP ship clean. Then you can outfit at will, so for organised PvP, outfitting is unaffected.
Down side. Organised PvP can be boring.
People stopped engaging in PvP in 3.0 as the hassle wasn't worth it. If your target dies with crimes on in a random PvP fight it's an hour before you can pay that off. Assuming you don't fight anyone else.
So no. Not unlikely at all. There are people that PvP and REFUSE to turn crimes off. I fly crimes off always so I can enjoy it with the regulars. I can't keep cycling it all night so getting wanted is inevitable.
I do enjoy my wanted tag. It gets people to come shoot me.
If I'm good at being a criminal why should I pay?

Maybe learn to read and comprehend.
I was replying to a comment in the post I quoted.
I am well aware that ganking is easy, that is why it is generally the province of cowards and children.
No, they are turreted.
Perhaps allowing Cmdrs to sell hot modules (at a reduced price) but not store them would be a happy medium?
You know nothing of PvP or piracy so refrain from commenting please.
1) The Fuel Scoop was just an example. What if I need Hatch Breakers for a certain job, or more Cargo space, or more Collector Limpets? We need to be able to outfit hot ships because...
2) We are full time criminals. We don't want to pay off a crime every time we commit one. We live the wanted life with a bounty on our heads. If we get caught we pay the price, but not a day sooner.
I'll refrain from nothing - the main complaints were being able to refuel.
Don't give a rats for the rest - if you're criminals then you deserve everything you get imo.

Honestly though, unless you play a criminal, you really should be careful about tossing out over-restrictive suggestions.
There are a lot of nuances to playing a criminal (especially now, with the new C&P) that only criminals will know about. And none of us are complaining about being criminals!
Will has posted a proposal fix for the Anarchy Outfitting lockout here...

i love that stuff gets wholesale changes like this and i can barely work out what they've done.
is the amount that the rep goes up by the same but it's just that they've added....whatever the heck else they seem to have added as an additional step, or did they slice the amount of rep too?
honestly, the patch notes need to be way more informative than obscure "applied some balance" or "made some adjustments". it's very frustrating, especially when it's often a euphemism for "huge nerfs across the board".
+1 to this!
Umm this doesn't seem right. Outfitting locked, yes, but for an allied, no-bounty jurisdiction? The whole anonymous access should be only in wanted jurisdictions.
Excellent! I always wondered if there was a technical problem preventing it...
So KWS is unhelpful in independent or "empty" systems?
I like!
Awwww
Balancing good, skimmer fix good
Very nice guys! Hopefully the bug squashing continues apace!
I believe the phrase that comes to mind is 'A difference without a distinction'
