Bounties increased?

[Bortas]

My last newsletter said: "The second round of game balancing changes took place on Monday. Notably, NPC bounties saw increases from approximately 400% to 1,000%"

Great, so I went out to do a bit of bounty hunting, but to my disappointment, the bounties were as low as always... killed a deadly Anaconda - 250k. Deadly Gunship - 180k. Elite Dropship - 160k... all KWS'ed. Did a few more, but no... nothing changed.

Did I get something wrong? "Took place on Monday" sounded as if it was already implemented... but apparantly not.

Did you look at your transactions tab after each kill? As per the announcement thread on this forum, the bounties are reporting as their original amounts but the amount you're actually receiving is higher. They'll update the HUD popups once they've settled on the final numbers.

Bounties
Bounties from NPCs will see significant increases from approximately four times as much for the highest paying ones to ten times as much for the lower paying ones. Please note that the number of credits shown immediately in your HUD when you destroy a criminal ship won't display the newly increased amounts. This will need to wait until we're certain of the final numbers. Accurate bounty figures can be found in the Transactions tab in your left panel.

What everyone else said. The actual bounty you get is different to what is displayed in contacts/ on destruction.

Are you saying I shouldn't have stopped reading after the first sentence? That's ridiculous...

Thanks, friends.
