I just watched both casts of upcoming "Beyond" expansion and have question about law and punishment.
It seems to be somewhat broken right now for the "planetary scan" missions where you have to download data from beacon. I haven't been doing anything illegal, many of these missions are "retrieve data so we can repair our malfunctioning equipment on the planet" yet I'm being punished for doing them by getting Wanted status and small Bounty on my head. As of now there's an "exploit" of using sidewinder and blowing myself up or getting shot down to remove this bounty, however from what I understand this will no longer be possible.
I absolutely love that it will be more strict for players that kill other commanders, but smaller things like that?
Planetary beacons are generated at random, sometimes they are public, most of the times are private (this one will get you bounty).
Can this be fixed somehow? Either make beacons for legal missions always public or don't give us Wanted status for scanning private ones. It's ok if local drones or turrets (sometimes even ships) shoot at me...
Or is there something I don't understand about these missions?
