* Notoriety, based on 2hr per point.
1. The game/system whatever does not notify you when the notoriety has worn off. You have to relog to see it has now gone.
2. What other game makes you sit around for hours twiddling your space bits? (not necessarily a broken point, but moronic)
There is zero reason to just sit around twiddling your space bits. In fact there is an entire game you can play while it goes away but yourself and others carry on like 1 notoriety means the game is pretty much off and you have to stare at nothing while it disappears.
Actually.. No it doesn't...

* Galaxy Wide Bounties
1. When you enter the system of the faction of the bounty, 'Wanted' does not display, until you drop to the station. Meanwhile all other NPCs know you are 'wanted'
* Fines
A 100 credit fine apparently makes you Mr. Anonymous. Know-one knows you or will talk to you. But on paying the 100 credits, everyone is back to being your mate again. That's about as believable as fox claiming innocence in a hen house.
* In a res if the cops come after you, the entire res zone goes ape-manure looking for your bones. So if you kill them all, there are no witnesses right? Nope, everyone else in the entire galaxy knows about it. Apparently in space in 3303 space communication is at an amazing level of sophistication, but, cannot pay a fine remotely. I mean really!? We can swipe a card to pay fines right now. I can pick up my phone and pay parking tickets. But no.. 3303 they've gone backwards....
Finally, C&P was meant to stop the murder-hobos. What it has actually done is given the murder-hobos a 'look at my bounty' badge of honour to wear!! If that's not broken I don't know what is.
If! C&P is 'working as intended'... How come, only the PvE crew get inconvienced?
If you still see that you need to report it as a bug, since it was fixed in 3.1.
This is why I try to avoid talking game specifics with people who already quit, it's pointless.
If you pay off the fine resulting from the ticket rather than ignoring it then there is no issue - try to evade paying it off and you will find the penalties increase.Cheers Backelaer.
You wouldn't think the equivalent of a parking ticket would result in you losing your home.
Can I haz yur stuff?
I think it was a misguided attempt to tie C & P into engineering (like every other aspect of the game), to give you a choice between paying the fines or re-purchasing and re-engineering your ship.
I was attacked randomly yesterday by system authority in a jurisdiction where I am allied with all factions, not wanted, no notoriety, no outstanding crimes anywhere. Saw someone else report this the other day and thought they must have done something wrong, but I guess this is a thing now too. Then there's the prison time for paying fines, rare, but it happens. I firmed a policy long ago that I deal with all bounties and fines immediately when they happen, at the nearest IF. It's the only way to avoid a nasty surprise.
Another thread on this?
Yes, there are many mistakes you can make when dealing with the C&P Mine Field! Once you learn what to do and what not to do it's not so bad.
That said, I hope Frontier improves C&P over time!
I'd say the exact opposite.
FDev need to get C&P working consistently, as intended, before anybody can hope to understand how it's supposed to work.
Yes they need to iron out the bugs but understanding how it's supposed to work is far from hopeless - it's pretty straightforward if you read the guide linked on the launcher.
What's wrong with this picture?
What's wrong with this picture?
Well, yeah.
It's easy to read an FAQ and know what's supposed to happen but when the cops start shooting at you for no reason, or when you get sent to a detention-centre and end-up getting a bunch of legal cargo confiscated after attempting to pay a trivial fine, it undermines the entire system.
Since you're not wanted, it doesn't look like a C&P thing.
What is your reputation with Alioth Independents? Did you kill too many of their criminals maybe?
