Frankly I've thought of IF as a completely independent institution. Just an opinion, but it shouldn't care less about which faction is in the system - they offer services. "If someone or something wants to limit our services, we'll take our business elsewhere." kinda attitude.
Can't pay bounty at Interstellar Factor
- Thread starter CMDR Kurt Vonnegut
- Start date
Yea, but when i reported the missing on-foot blueprints, the answer (from 2 different CM) was: i'll look into it
Also, when i complained about too dim lit (or even unlit hangars) Sally again said that she'll look into it
which i interpret it as different than "nothing to say on this" - which i take it as "you'd better get used to it"
This drove me nuts tonight, I could not clear a bounty, even though I paid it in a system with no presence of issuing faction. Then I found my problem, on foot stuff again.
As a law abiding bounty hunter I killed smugglers as ship mission assigned for me to do, but one of the ships, that counted as mission objective, set me a bounty for murder, but mission accomplished. At an interstellar factor, I paid off the bounty on foot at a console in the concourse. I like getting out my ship once in awhile. It reported no bounties. I get to my ship, I find bounty still active on the external panel for transactions, can't land at my "home base". But wait, I try to pay again from my ship by Starport Services, but Interstellar Factor has been updated there, it shows no bounty. But the left panel reports bounty. I visit my home system, I'm still "wanted".
Reading this thread, I took the advice and logged out, logged back in immediately, and the ship external panel "transactions" now has no bounty!!! What the hell! It kept me out of my home system even though this bounty was paid and cleared! The foot part does not coordinate with the ship part very well at all, unless I relog? Come on. But it foot payment updated with my ship Starport Services, so I didn't pay the bounty twice, it just didn't clear it without a logout.
If I never left my ship, I might not have experienced this, I think, but who knows. Serves me right. As VR user, foot is so, well, sub-par to the ED experience. But I can't resist to step out from the cockpit once in awhile...
I so love this game, and sometimes I so hate it. But though it has so many bumps and lumps, it still is beautiful to play. Most times...

Any time I get a bounty or fine, I land at the nearest safe station, then re-log. About half the time, the bounty or fine disappears. About half of those re-appear after the next re-log or two. This is just another in a long line of bugs we may as well get used to.
IMO, FDev only fixes the easy bugs, the rest are ignored. They're entirely too busy trying to attract new players. There just isn't enough time for serious player retention.
