Fine in Anarchy

777Driver · Apr 10, 2018

I have a feeling I am missing something obvious, usual high profit cargo runs out of my Anarchy system, completely forgot that one of my cargo runs would expire this afternoon. Failed that cargo mission, received a fine and sold the goods on the blackmarket, finished of the rest of my deliveries and headed back to home base.

Am docked at the port and all stations services obviously work as normal due to anarchy, the mission giver is happy to hand out more lucrative cargo runs. Moneys not a problem, but what would happen if I just didn't pay the fine?

Try it and see?

I think the only thing we know for certain is that it won't mature into a bounty. But otherwise an interesting point of curiosity.

Try it? I have, that's why I am asking. Nothing happens as far as using stations services or taking more missions.

Think I figured it out though, my T9 is marked as handling stolen goods, so I assume I would have to pay a premium for ship transfer, or lose money if I tried to sell it or any modules, unless I payed the debt to the faction. So no loopholes.

My understanding is that it would just stay there forever, attached to that ship. They no longer expire, nor do they become bounties.

I guess it'll be 'fine' to leave it there. lol.

Oh yeah, ship transfer. Forgot about that. They'll nick you for it eventually.

Wait a sec. I just need to make sure I understand this. You have a fine from an independent anarchy system. You ship has the fine. You have 0 noteriety. If you try to move modules from one ship to another you have to clean them?

Yes, I think that's right. I have not tried it, but yeah. The ship and modules are "hot" until cleaned, with the resulting penalties.

Just pay the fine next time you're there because it'll be cheaper than cleaning the ship via ship transfer and/or cleaning the modules.
You can safely ignore it if you don't ever plan to use the ship-transfer service, sell your ship, or transfer modules.
Personally, I'd pay it just to get rid of the stat that I have an outstanding fine
