[C&P] 1 extreme.. to another
- Thread starter William H. Bonney
- Start date
Ah yes, a subject where a select group of elitist so-and-so's show up and chastise the person complaining about the screwed up system (that will get changed soon).
@OP, Yes, the problem isn't the fact that you got a stupid//assinine assault bounty, the "problem" is that you can't pay your fines at the issuing factions courthouse. This massive inconvenience started out as an edge case, but has turned out to bite just about everyone in the tush. FDev is already going to change the system in a coming update to allow minor bounties to be paid at the stations where the infractions occurred, which is the way it should have been from the beginning.

Outrageous!
IF are a legimate business providing essential services to the community of the Pilots Federation!
Slandering an elite team of lawyers and legal specialists as criminals and corrupt law enforcement is simply baseless gossip!
I thought that these smaller bounties could be paid off in the local system (so long as you have no notoriety) via anonymous access. Has that not been implemented yet? I thought it was in the last update, but it could be in the next one instead. Check the C&P feedback forum, though, as I'm sure this is a change that is planned.
A "fine" can be, but these are "bounty" issues. Bounties can not currently be paid at the issuing powers stations, no matter if it's a 200Cr for scratching someones paint.
Its ludicrous that I have to make a short 5 minute detour and pay a fine that's probably 0.000004% of the value of my ship...after i've just hit a completely innocent Spacecraft with military grade weapons ???
The last time it happened to me, the "completely innocent Spacecraft" was a pirate lord's Cutter (wing assassination mission target). I got a bounty on my head for scratching its megashield once with the 2 APAs of my Vulture. My scan proving that he was wanted finished 1 second later.
That's another thing that is changing (if it hasn't already). You won't get a bounty for attacking a wanted ship, even if your scan hasn't finished.
No longer a problem as of 3.0.3
My apologies, I just got the internal audit report back from my local interstellar factors. They said it's clean and that they assessed every transaction, retainer, personal donation, special discount and miscellaneous outgoing as well as investigating all agents fees, political contributions and even looked into every brown paper envelope!

It happened well after 3.0.3 IIRC.
I read somewhere that the "never shoot before scan" rule was going to change, that was why I shot at him unscanned in the first place. But maybe it's time to test it again.

Ah, that's more like the selfless service we all know and love
Please do let me know if you need an IF branch opening up in your locale - demand is high in these times!
It happened in 3.0.3
Check the patch notes.
I think that founders world ( jameson) should have all options for the game. So I.F, the one to collect all bounty vouchers (cant remember the name right now) lol. Mat traders, etc etc. That way if your elite you know for sure one place has all. And if you dont have elite. Something to strive for.
No I said there are ELEMENTS of trigger discipline.
The PROBLEM the OP had is Tunnel Vision. They were too focused on the target to the point they failed to notice both A) The target orienting for an evasive boost and B) System Authority lining up on the other side directly in the path of the shot.
If he hadn't Tunnel Visioned, trigger discipline wouldn't even have been a factor since he would have realized the situation and the wild shot wouldn't even have happened.
And now a Public Service Announcement from some friends of mine.

No. I just have 18 months of solid "nothing but REZ BH" combat under my belt. I've made many mistakes under all iterations of the C&P system. I'm certainly not the top 1% of all combat pilots but I've had months to make mistakes and refine my ability.
In short. I'm the same as the OP in that I felt the need to practice and did so. The difference between us is that I didn't let myself get beaten by the C&P. Not only did I learn how to fight effectively as part of a group, I learned how to deal with the consequences of being on the wrong side of the law and how to fix it. I learned two skills for the price of one.
You can sit there and berate me for my long winded instruction all you want. Or you can take it to task and see the results for yourself.
Somethings never change, just like the HMRC letters demanding 6p in tax with a stamp costing 45p. Lol
