About getting loitering fines in damaged stations

Arizel · May 3, 2019

Why does it exist? i have to maneuver to avoid collision and im gettign fined and i can't take survivors until i go somewhere else and pay the fine, it's just dumb.

Well, the station wants only people who want to get people out of the station. So if you loiter, you will probably get a fine.

i was avoiding big debris with a type 9,it's not the fasterst ship maneuver around.

Well, maybe you should pick a more appropriate ship, or L2F

You can't pay off a fine at the same station that issued the fine?
From the guide on crime and punishment from FD it states.
Fines can be paid at security contacts, however, bounties can only be paid at Interstellar Factors when your Notoriety is at zero.

and so how is it any less dumb that i get fined for maneuvering in a destroyed station? Im risking my ship for those refugeers and i get a fine ?

authority contact is not here when evacuating you have to go to the rescue ship

I agree its strange but can make sense as @Icybow73 stated. If a ship request docking at a burning station but decides to hang out and cause problems for everyone else entering they should get a fine. It just so happens the docking time to land is just not quite enough to maneuver a large T9 through the chaos sometimes.

Well the Fines being so low why worry about it.

the problem is that you have to return to the rescue ship to pay it. You can't do it in the station and you can't take passengers while you have a fine

Manoeuvres toward landing pad.
Explosion knocks you into nearby pad.
Landing gear sticks.
Jiggle to get free.
Loitering fine.
Go back to Rescue Ship.

Fdev should change it to just let you pay them off in station.

No, it's not a big deal.
But it's annoying.

well the damaged station i was in wouldn't let me pay it. Yes it's no big deal but i feel like a station on the brink on internal meltdown doesn't really care about loitering and could let ppl take refugees even if the have a 500 credit fine

Yeh, edited my post, I wasn't very clear what I meant.
