Newcomer / Intro Bounty hunting

Ok so I'm not technically a newcomer ;) but I've only been trading rares and exploring up till now. All Combat has been after I've been attacked and I've always waited for the agressor to fire and hit me first.

So I want to dabble in bounty hunting, but have read and seen threads about getting wanted for shooting at someone. SOOOO what is the deal, I have a basic scanner so scan the target until it shows if they're wanted or clean..this is the LOCAL bounty and I can shoot first then claim the bounty in that system?

If I want more dosh I install a KWS and do that scan then I can get more bounties in the other systems the target is wanted in?


So basically if the target appears as WANTED in the system we're both in I can attack with no repurcussions?

Hi CMDR you are correct, you must let the built in scan finish or get a fine (if the other ship opens fire first thats fair game) Nav Beacons offer the easiest targets but lower value (in Anarchy systems everything shows as clean so you need to scan eveything) RES sites offer higher value targets but easy to run in an Asteroid. Same rules as Nav Beacon (scan first). Deffo get a KWS these can often double your income.
