I've been contemplating getting into pirating for some time now. It really seems exciting, and potentially profitable. However, I suppose my biggest concerns are fines and bounties (and maybe I should consider reputation, too). A true pirate wouldn't care about fines or bounties. However, what happens if you want to pull a John Wick and get out, start over? My biggest questions:
1.) Do fines disappear once they turn into bounties?
2.) If you get destroyed by an NPC or commander, does the bounty clear? It seems to me that if one wanted to start over, one could purchase a cheapy sidewinder, get him/herself blown to smithereens by the authorities, and stop being a high value target. Then one would merely need to repair one's reputation with various factions through trade and missions (probably easier said than done).
Thoughts?
