crime & punishment

When we commit crimes in Elite we can be sent to redeem to nearest detention center. In Odyssey we have got a very simplistic (but unique) concourse for detention centers/ships. I would like to make a suggestion to add more gameplay elements related to detention centers (as piracy and crime is...

Foreword: This 'proposal', or list of suggestions aims to make the galaxy more dangerous for criminals, in order to add weight to criminal actions, increase the impression of galactic 'topography' (galaxy having more diversity between government, controlling factions & superpowers, etc), and...

When the rate of illegal CMDR murder in a non-anarchy star system is high, allow CMDRs to sign up to be deputised by system security there. Basically, Pilots' Federation CMDRs are causing problems in the system, interfering with the conduction of normal business, and the system authority agrees...

Was wanted in other systems, with no interstellar bounty (like an Empire Bounty), and got pulled over by an NPC bounty hunter. Since I had just engineered my weapons, I decided he was going to pay for wasting my time with an interdiction. He was clean (but affiliated to the major faction in the...

In topic (see above) Bruce told a bit about Crimes. But the system in ODYSEEY should be explained more in detail. Regarding the transfer of the ships crimes to the commander in ODYSEEY leads to following question: Are fines and bounties now in ODYSEEY always applied to the commander? If this...

Anyone know the mechanics of crime and punishment? If you're caught stealing items from a base and run away (no shooting) you get a galaxy-wide fine which needs interstellar factors to clear (also had cloned identity at the time). Why is it galaxy wide? Why isn't it restricted to the local faction?

I would like to propose a complete overhaul to the current criminal structure in the game at present. I would like to see an elite ranking system for crime and below I will present a mock up of my suggested idea. A standard 9 rank system for crime and illegal missions all names are place...

Or are they? You tell me... It's been DAYS since the last C&P thread so I thought it's time for another one. On the menu: safely relaxing the current hard cap of 2,000,000cr that makes player bounty hunting laughably badly paid minor reward for players who are able to scan/escape from a...

....Because Crime has yet to Pay to date. You a n00b smuggler down on your luck? A scurvy veteran space faring Pirate? Lawless anarchist criminal with a bounty on your head? Completely amoral veteran Ganker, who accidentally seal clubbed some green, gullible n00bs brand new and shiny...

I've been playing ED for over 2 years now and I've only just learned about something I didn't know: The existence of the Advanced Tactical Response (ATR) unit. Probably because I'm a model citizen, I'm much more likely to get authority protection than authority attention. Gets me thinking...

Could there be a limit set that you can pay and not get sent to a penal ship? I just want to a pay a 200 fine for shooting the wrong person (not killing) and not get sent to a penal ship.

I ask because I forgot to buy enough of some modules I wanted to keep in inventory. So off I went, looked at the powerplay needs in that system and followed to the letter what was required. I took down the ships I was told to, gained the merits required. Waited for tick over. Now I have hour...
