OK, maybe I'm being stupid but I'm having a lot of paying off the smallest fine and it's getting on my nerves.
So, here's what's happening - I'm doing a little bounty hunting in the Subra system. I've just beefed up my vulture with engineered pulse lasers so I've accepted 4 different missions to kill Subra pirates. It's going fine for an hour or so, I'm allied with the federation so I've got half a dozen NPC federal navy ships to help out against anything bigger than a Federal Dropship (my combat skills ain't amazing). I'm happily chewing my way through the 50 or so pirates I have to kill one of the local RES. I notice nearby that the federal navy ships are firing on a Viper Mk3 so I figure he's gotta be wanted. I target the ship, and start flying over, he's a little way off and taking a lot of damage so I'm anxious to get some shots in before he's destroyed in order to claim whatever bounty and chalk up another kill. But, in my haste, I fire my lasers just a fraction of a second before my scan is completed. So then, the scan finishes, the ship, of course, IS wanted but I've now picked up a 200cr fine. This instantly turns all the Fed ships in the vicinity hostile and I have to make a swift exit as there's at least a couple of Anaconda's there now gunning for me. I survived so not the end of the world but I still have this stupid fine and I cannot figure out where the f*ck I have to go to get rid of it!
So two questions 1) WHERE OH WHERE CAN I PAY OFF THIS STUPID FINE?! Every dock that has representation from the faction I've wronged is locked out so I can't pay it there. Apparently, I can go to "Interstellar Faction Controlled" systems to pay it (so again, maybe just being stupid but that means the game characters Edmund Mahon/Felicia Winsters etc right?) so I head to Woloniugo as that's the closest system with a faction, I visited all the stations there, still no option to pay the fine. Is this a bug? If not can someone please help? I love this game so much but sometimes the lack of direction can just be a little frustrating.
and 2) Why, if the ship IS wanted, am I getting a fine just because I haven't finished scanning? Surely, wanted is wanted and I shouldn't be being punished for getting a couple of shots off quickly?
2.5) If I'm allied with the local authority surely there should be a little leeway before they all turn on you? I mean 200cr is pretty much nothing. I've spent more on fuel for one jump than that and now I can't complete the missions I have over it. I mean if you're neutral or below then yeah, come at me bro, but we're mates right? You're not gonna turn me into space dust over a measly 200cr are you?
Anyway, I've had my whine now. Any help would me much appreciated.
tl;dr - I need help finding somewhere to pay off a small fine. k thx bye.
