The two hour Notoriety restriction is stupid!

[MessyTangoFox]

While doing community goal bounty missions, I shot accidentally a clean ship due to the cluttered radar, and got 1 notoriety status.

I have to wait now for two hours logged in doing nothing until notoriety status is gone?! Seriously?! Two hours of real time banned due to a mistake!

No, you can do just about anything in game while notorious. Just not in systems sharing that jurisdiction. And you'll want to avoid being scanned. And be careful not to shoot any more clean bounty hunters that come after you. You should try more crime, then you would know

Just go somewhere else for a few hours, and dodge a few BHers at the same time.

Also if you shoot someone by mistake in the future, frame shift out of the instance and don't murder them or have them murdered by others while you are in the instance.

That way you'll only have a bounty for assault and not notoriety for murder.

should last 1 hr after the hr log/out should clear it

There shouldn’t be any police ships in the Hazardous sites to scan you, so unless a bounty Hunter follows you in from supercruise you’ll be alright there as well.

Same for conflict zones. All ships in a warzone are lawless, so you can totally smoke the bounty hunters with no repercussions.

Just note, notoriety isn't fit shooting the ship, it's for destroying it. You may not have landed the killing blow, but you were a contributor, so if npcs proceed to destroy it, it'll count as you killing the ship

You can go farm mats in a nearby anarchy system killing cargo vessels in a res zone. Don't forget your limpets.

Dare I say there should be an on/off for this type of nonsense so people who want to can avoid it entirely...I know that horse is beat to death.

Truth is, the whole C&P system is upside down and messed up. I did a much longer post about this elsewhere, but the current system:

• Is very punishing for "accidental criminals" who are unprepared for the consequence of crime; and
• Is of no consequence for a career criminal; Any consequence is easily evaded for anyone prepared and knowingly entering into crime

In other words, "that nonsense" is incredibly easy to avoid, if you know what you're doing and have a plan, and an absolute embuggerance if you aren't. Instead, it should be set up in a way such that;

• It's trivial for a commander who inadvertently stumbles onto committing crime to clear things up; and
• Encourages criminally-minded commanders to embrace the consequences of their crime, not avoid them; additional rewards should happen when undertaking activities that put you in harms way when you have notoriety/a bounty, and paying off your bounty/clearing your notoriety should be severely damaging to that pursuit.
