I am not saying it is right or wrong to get the bounties, i am just trying to find out the facts behind it.
As i see it now, if i go undermining an opponent power to get the 15 merits per ship, i also get a bounty in that system, which lasts 7 days, does it ever go away though, can it be reactivated with a KWS, do i ever have to pay it off, can i still dock at stations in that system ever again, is it worthwhile to try get these merits. Because it doesn't sound like it is, if i did this in a few systems, sort of might limit my future traveling and trading plans.
This might not bother a PvP type player much, but as a trader, i need to consider how this might effect my trades.
