So I have an Interstellar Bounty with every major faction, and I'm trying to understand the logic behind what that actually means. First thought: it would cause me to be Wanted at every single non-anarchy port in the game, but it doesn't do that. Second thought: it would be cause me to be wanted at every port owned by a faction aligned with the superpower controlling the system; it doesn't do that either. The end result I can observe is that I'm wanted at a TON of (seemingly) random ports throughout the galaxy in systems I've never been to that are owned by factions I have no history with, and on the system map it will specify on the station's info overlay that I am wanted there because of, for example, my Federation bounty. However, I am able to land legally at some system-superpower-aligned ports, and some non-system-superpower-aligned ports. I can't find any rhyme or reason to it. This makes finding a port to do repairs in a sector I'm not familiar with a huge trial-and-error pain in the (edit: wow, I'm not even allowed to say that here?).
And yes, I know I could either sneak-land ilegally and hand myself in for the bounty, or use Interstellar Factors to pay them off, but the fact that IF lumps my 10k credit "interstellar" bounties in with my multi-millions of accumulated bounties with factions aligned with that superpower makes it useless for this situation.
So does anybody actually understand this system??
