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 am thinking: switch to a clean Sidewinder after a long day of ganking noobs, and get your mates to blow you up until your notoriety is gone?
Won't work as the ship has the bounty not you, so your bounty will not be cleared, therefore neither will your notoriety. All they will be doing is blowing up your sidewinder for no reason at all.
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.
- Ships that are destroyed unrelated to crime will respawn at the nearest and safest Starport in the system if possible, reverting to the last port docked if not.
Why we are making these changes:
- The concept of respawning at ports within a system is less punishing and more contextually sound.
Hey guys,
Thanks for all of your feedback and questions so far both here on the forums and on last night's stream. We're currently compiling the questions and we'll try to answer as many as we can soon.
When the questions and answers are live, I'll pop them here and update this thread.
I love this, it makes so much more sense. Closest startport within 10-20 ly or back to last docked starport would be even better.
