I'm curios about a situation I am running into on a fairly frequent basis. When in battle with a "wanted" adversary, said adversary will launch a fighter... If I hit or kill the fighter coming from the ship I am engaged with I become wanted. I don't really follow the logic of this in that it seems that the launched fighter should be fair game. (It is coming directly from a hostile ship and will be shooting at me in short order) Is this an intentional game mechanic or something that has slipped through the cracks? Or have I missed something obvious? (always a possibility)
Probably not intentional, but I think it is wise to wait until it actually hits first before blowing the little out of the water.
Yeah, unfortunately you have to let it fire first. This is quite annoying as it comes out unwanted even from a wanted ship that's actively firing on you.
Yeah this is bull. It shouldn't happen! Fighters belonging to a hostile ship should automatically be considered hostile too.
There is at the moment still an unintended behavior that Frontier promised to fix as soon as possible.
The fighter needs actual himself a basic scan to confirm that he is wanted. Otherwise you get a bounty for murder, which doesn't make sense itself because of telepresence and no murder has happened.

Fighters started in conflict zones aren't tagged as members of their faction either.
It's annoying, because it shows up red in the HUD, along with the ship that has engaged me. This needs a fix - very soon.
I never worry bout the fighters, take out the mother ship and it dies.
There is already a thread running on this issue here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...gering-assault-bounties?p=4741819#post4741819
FD have confirmed this is an issue and are investigating it.
