I picked up a bunch of doctors wanting to go on a short multi-stop cruise. Fair enough.
Turns out one of them is wanted in several systems. Fair enough, too, I suppose, though I'd have appreciated some warning about this on the passenger manifest before I accepted the mission. I'll just avoid getting scanned by any cops.
Stopped at one of the tourist beacons a bit too long, and a pirate turns up, demanding cargo. And scans me. No fear there, I've only got passengers, not cargo.
Suddenly, as the pirate flies away muttering one of those "useless dreg" messages, I get a message "Bounty 1000 credits, transporting wanted criminal". I now have a 1-day bounty in the Delta Pavonis system.
WHAT? Since when do pirate scans dob me in to the cops? It was a cargo scanner he hit me with, it shouldn't show up any Wanted passengers in the first place.
Then on top of this, I then get a message from my chief passenger: "I don't appreciate your flagrant disregard for the law, Commander. Just stick to the task at hand.". Passenger satisfaction decreased to "Content".
EXCUSE ME? It's your stupid friend who caused me to break the law. I didn't break the law, you did, by inviting that idiot onto my ship with you. If you don't like lawbreakers, why'd you invite them along?
FD, please make the following changes to the Passenger mission system:
- Missions clearly state if any of the passengers are Wanted, anywhere.
- Don't put criminals in the party with criminal-hating chief passengers.
- Pirate cargo scans don't cause you to be given fines or bounties.
- Violation of laws the passengers themselves cause should not make those very same law-abiding passengers upset with you.
