Finding Fines & Hidden Fines

[Atebits]

The last few days the servers have been kind of all over the place. I collected a few fines because my ship decided it wanted to get stuck in the mail slot mysteriously after flying straight. Now, I know that Elite Dangerous is trying hard to emulate the United States with Police brutality with a shoot first for any reason attitude. Probably with the TSA to be added once we have avatars. Therefore shouldn't it be that we have some way of knowing what fines we actually have? I've been flying around the Bubble tonight intending to pay off the fine for the mail slot mystery flight when I discovered I had another fine. No biggy, I was expecting to find another fine lumped in there somewhere. However, it was in another system. Next I flew out from the Bubble a bit and now I have a bunch of fines. So I fly back in, pay them off, and i have a bunch more. Okay, the lag was great the other night, but I'm starting to think this is more like the game is fining me for places it detected me rather than places I actually was. I never got any notice of fines besides the ones I flew out to pay for. Plus, the fines just aren't showing up in my Transaction Tab. I have to fly into the system where the fine is. This is pretty silly. I'm currently wandering the Bubble looking for places looking for places I might have gone during Trade missions. Unfortunately, since I've been ranking up with Federation I've been practically everywhere. Why isn't there a remote pay feature? This literally like the terror of living in the US where if you encounter the police there's every possibility you could just die. That's what happens after 6 days right? The fine turns into a bounty and stations just arbitrarily start shooting us since the arbitrarily decides when and when not to show our fines in Transactions?

Anyway, this isn't very fun having no idea when, if, or where the game's going to suddenly turn on me because reasons.

Remote fine payment is coming with 2.2 apparently.

I am wondering, what old legacy fines the system is going to show me.

Bounty hunters are fun... - if you deserve the bounty or not. The police likes to charge you for shooting criminals first and for fighting in wars if you step 3 meters out of their beautiful circle.

They hunt you to the end of the world, even for 3k. It won't pay their fuel bill or repair either way, but hey, fun.
They hunt you even if the faction they suddenly belong to is your friend and ally... and you aren't wanted there. Hell they still hunt you if you fight for the other team. Imperials hunting Federal Scum? Sure, give me the money! I don't care if he is my friend!
They follow you into combat zones so you can kill them without charge for ONCE (sometimes annoying... sometimes funny).
The bounty, no matter how small, will always last at least a week so the 'beautiful' game mechanic can totally annoy you. Why should they give you the chance to pay it off early, even if you are willing to pay 10x or 100x the price... even for unjustified bounties. That would be boring. Give the galactic police something to kill.

So, rejoice, a time of relaxation is upon you...
