Bounty claim... not the usual complaint

[denisbloodnok]

I was killing pirates in an Independent Anarchy (sorry, I forget the name) and had collected a fair set of bounty vouchers thanks to a Kill Warrant Scanner - some from two local factions, some from Federation, some from Alliance, some from Empire, some from Ross something-or-other.

To my surprise, I docked up once and was able to cash these all in except for the Empire bounties. Surely it's not meant to be that easy?

It depends. There needs to be a local presence of the faction that issuesd the bounty. Some systems have minor factions from multiple major factions, making it much easier. Dont get used to it though.

Yeah, get used to jumping into a Suisidewinder to get rid of the long list of minor faction bounties that you forget to cash in

Why are you bounty hunting in an Anarchy system? Surely, the payouts will be a lot lower because the pirates won't get bounties on them from killing ships in that system.

Not entirely true, Caelottixa is listed as Anarchy/Independent; however, the actual system owner is Fed-aligned and Corporate, so they do payout bounties. As long as the system owner is not Unfettered, I believe they will pay bounties.

I actually fitted an Imperial Eagle for speed and FSD range to do that. No guns, no unessentials- if I could have removed the cover from the cooling fins and the handrails from the boarding walkway I'd done it twice.

It's faster than the fastest Cobra Mk.III or any other imperial slug. And I can do the Kessel run in under ​ eleven parsecs.

I took a random mission because it sounded interesting. I've got another internet spaceships game for ruthless ISK/hr maximisation.
