That would be a real shame, wouldn't it?
Quick point to make - my last murder bounty was given because a poor Asp which was nearly dead but not quite rammed me in his haste to escape - and died. I was not shooting at the time. I hope that this will be noticed by the code and treated as friendly fire.
And is it only murdering of players which results in notoriety? Not NPC's?

I would assume that you would have to pay off the fine/bounty by selling your ships and if that is not enough, then you declare bankruptcy and you get your free sidewinder.
Yes and the victim should always face consequences no matter if i am in a killing spree or not. The Attacker should just face more and more consequences. But lower rebuy is a nonsense regarding the cut throat galaxy context. It is just enforcing safe space and laziness of CMDRs who are not using defensive modules intended to protect themself and available to everyone equally.
Don't get me wrong, i am really happy with consequences for crimes (it was about time). I am really looking forward for rewards aspects for crimes now (including murders).

This was asked but not fully answered on the stream, Sandy was not 100% on if a) you could not sell the ship or b) you could sell it but at a massive loss.
It sounds like it needs to be finalised.
Surely, the issue with this is that for a lot of players, money is not an issue and so paying off huge bounties and rebuy costs will be little disincentive?
Doesn't work like that. In order to escape incarceration, you'll still have to pay the bounty on top of the usual rebuy cost of the ship that was hot. Suicidewinder won't work anymore.
.
Have you considered that their 'poor' loadout means their rebuy will be less than a 'properly' configured ship and therefore the consequence to you of destroying them will scale proportionately with their module costs ?

Still kind of wondering what's stopping someone just going on a murder spree, docking the ship, ripping out all their engineered modules and putting them into storage and then buying another generic hull and cramming their engineered modules into the new hull? Is part of the 'limited station services' meaning no outfitting functionality?
Keeping in mind for most long standing players and those that have exploited broken elements in the game at one time or another, buying a half dozen base FDL hulls and similar isn't really going to hurt their wallet.
Or is that Frontiers idea of 'consequence' for criminals? That it will introduce a much needed credit sink into the game finally.

I believe Sandro covered it....putting a 'Hot' module in a clean ship makes that ship 'Hot'.

Modules will be hot too. If you install a module from a hot ship to a clean ship, that ship will become hot too. You can't just scape from the bounty.
Is Notoriety going to be visible in the same way a Scanned Ship shows the Commanders Name ? - that would help inform my decision to run or not (fight/flight)?

As far as i understand it there will be "hot modules" too,
Edit: Ninjad, twice [noob]
On the concern of Criminals kill each other to soften their notoriety/bounty...
Maybe it would be a good idea that Cmdrs are not able to claim bountys for people they were Winged with while commiting the crime, no idead if this is doable though.

That's if you wait until you hit max notoriety. You only incur a portion of the rebuys with each kill so basically when you go back to the station to re-arm/repair pay the small fines, switch to sidewinder and get a colleague to blow you up to reset your notoriety and then go back to incurring small percentage fines..
Basically, notoriety should decrease over time, not on ship destruction.

Does 'Notoriety' increase in Anarchy systems ?, it seems to be a count of 'Clean' ships killed, so getting a mate to kill you would just add Notoriety to them ???
Edit....Use of secondary accounts to clean a main account maybe a loophole here ???

Nope, nothing is taken into account in Anarchy system regarding notoriety, same as now : killing ships in anarchy systems means noone is looking, no bounties/wanted status. Thus no notoriety changes to occur in chapter one.
Also, in the game right now, just suicidewinder and all your bounties are gone. No big rebuy, no mandatory payment of your fines. The new system will not be perfect but it's a start : killing yourself with an alt account will decrease notoriety... but you'll still have to pay your fines to clear the bounties which is just not the case at all at the moment.
