Ok so....I think it has something to do with this 24 hour timer is why my bounties keep coming back... I remember reading about that before....so basically......even if you pay your bounty, if they re-scan you it comes back and your wanted again?!? If this is how it is supposed to be, it is the worst system in the world.....I only get to play a couple days PER MONTH, and now.....well...ya....good job FD if this is how it was supposed to work because its the most worthless thing..... after finding a "safe place" to land and pay bounties i see that there is a timer on them now.....even though it says im no longer wanted..... What in the world have you guys done.....

You must be doing something wrong baalic. I've only had that happen once and that was at a Nav beacon whilst shooting a target, a cop npc decided to fly through my line of fire and got a bit burnt. All the cops were insta-targetting me. Managed to eacape and dock up though and clear the bounty. Didn't come back.
And now I have to retract what I said...because this last bounty....Did not incur a timer??? Also I fired 1 heat seeking rocket, it landed on target, destroyed target, and then roughly 2 seconds later, a bounty for 300cr for friendly fire.... So did they friendly take splash damage? Also why did this bounty not stay with a 24 hour timer and the other one did....I'm completely confused, unless I'm just catching bug after bug the last few days.... I did find a legit bug too that lets you spend all of your credits to rearm your cannons, if the module is turned off...it takes your credits indefinitely until you turn your module back on...so there is that...
looks like hotfix to me. we need real patch.
Smaller ships are better for smuggling runs and such. if you get caught, you can sneak on to a platform. Smuggling in an Anaconda? much different story. As it should be.
I suggest starting a separate thread, as opposed to posting your issues in Page #49 of Patch 1.2.07.
I also suggest you do your level best to present your issue in as neutral a tone as possible. Your first post sets the tone for the following conversation.
State exactly what you are seeing in your right-hand panel for the local/major factions (especially any dormant fines), the sequence of events, and so on. Screenshots will help, as will recorded video uploaded to YT, if you can!

High intensity conflict sites are something to avoid now.
They went from one extreme to another, from free credits to waste of time.
I have no idea what the solution is, but at the moment they are scenery for screenshots.

How are they a waste of time now? Apart from being meaningless/dull ultimately?
When is the power play patch coming.
Edited my post.
Its about the capital ships and the fact that the kill stealing roles are now reversed.
Not quite. I took quite a few bounties from a Federal cap ship in my Cobra. I just light the target up with twin beam lasers when it's about to blow, and often enough, the bounty is assigned to me. The previous situation was a horrible exploit.
Of course it would be nice if the NPCs wouldn't just suicide on the capital ship all the time, so it would be possible to fight them in the high intensity zone a few clicks out from the cap.
Not robbery; if you don't want the skins don't buy them...
true that. It's also a way to keep some more cash flow in for further "free" improvments, updates etc pp. So you don't only buy damn skins but also help to make it a better game.
When are we having tweaks and fixes of the increasing number of bugs?
It's been 3 weeks already since we had a real fix/tweak update. Don't tell me we have to wait till the powerplay..........
See my post here for an explanation of why tweaks and fixes drop off over time. Pretty much all bugfixes at this point will be going into the 1.3 update. If there's a game-breaking bug found we might get an interim 1.2 patch.
Something new just happened to the launcher - it is offering an upgrade to "cross platform Beta" in addition to the Play and Practice offerings.
I didnt accept just in case it blew my game away.
Is the bringing the mac-ists into the common fold ? or are ED trying to make one size fit all?

It shouldn't - betas tend to run alongside the main game in their own sandbox. I'm downloading now...

If you create a directory called "PUBLIC_TEST_SERVER" in the "PRODUCTS" directory where the main game is installed (i.e. "FORC-FDEV-D-10xx"), copy the contents of the current installed game into it and then install the Beta it will install in a tiny fraction of the time as it will treat it as an incremental upgrade and very few seem to be different from 1.2.07.
