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.
I think it depends on whether some were expecting a "Tie Fighter vs X-Wing" clone or a 1:1 scaled universe.
I dunno, but something tells me Frontier didn't create a scale universe for the purposes of "arcade" entertainment.
"Store" Citizen, on the other hand...
I said wanted modules were clearly marked, they are.
As for notoriety panel 4 again clearly marked, not that it matters it just means the odd bounty hunter dropping G5 mats so it's a bonus.
This is why I try to avoid talking game specifics with people who already quit, it's pointless.
Yeah. They are just here to parrot certain 'facts' even if they aren't true.
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.
The system as it stands is pretty reasonable, it is only a problem for those that try to ignore the consequences really.
I have the perfect solution to your problem BUT My Parole officer forbids me to associate with Known Criminals and unseedy characters such as yourself.

I'm fine with having escalating fines for crimes. Murder should weigh heavily on the pocketbook. Having your ship and modules become wanted (while you personally, are not-especially since your identity is auto-logged) is silly though. 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.
Won't happen - the only reason for this thread is they can't afford a < 1M fine - they haz no stuff
As I recall the idea came from a CMDR on these fora, so your thesis in incorrect. Wonder why they rarely take the bright ideas put forward here
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.
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.
I screenshotted the first time, second time happened over the weekend, didn't bother. I apologise for my 'someone else will report it' attitude.
Keeps you on your toes though, especially in the lightweight courier.
I just headcanon that the pirate lord I'm on my way to assassinate threw a bung to the cops. lol. Was the Imps that did it to me, so it's not superpower specific at least. 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?
When things happen that are not supposed to, file a bug report and help FDev make it a better system.
It would say you're hostile in the bottom right corner.
In all likelihood, it's a misassigned script... there's some scripted behaviour for certain situations where Authorities will attack on-sight, so they definitely can, it's just they're not meant to in that situation.
