Fines and Active Bounties on your head can be paid at stations in low security systems. One must find the station using the map that has a Broker's Network listed on it, it's near the bottom of services rendered. One doesn't have to wait until timer runs out or go to original issuing system. The new policy when performing the tradional "Suicide with a Sidewinder" doesn't pay off Active Bounties, it changes them to Dormant Bounties which cannot be paid off anywhere, period. As it use to be available, using the Sucide Winder glitch.
Dormant Bounties can not be seen by anyone including the use of a KWS. That said, if scanned by any authorized pesonal in the system it was originaly issued as bounty or an unpaid fine turned to bounty; It will be reactivated as a Bounty. And thus the process starts over again. That said, a bounty can be paid in any low security system at a station which has a Broker Network, using you map, if available, it will be listed near the bottom of planets discription. IF not paid, and one avoids the system, it will convert to a Dormant and thus unpayable. ONLY active bounties and fines can be paid. DORMANT BOUNTIES CANNOT BE PAID. At the end of their timer, the evolve into a legacy fine. Which again can be paid off at the aforementioned Broker Network or upon death. There is a 25% fee added to the payment owed when paying off any fine, which includes legacy and or active bounty.
Under the new system, DORMANT BOUNTIES can not be paid and have to run their course thus becoming a legacy fine when timer runs out. There is no current place to check on one's legacy fines owed unless you go to a Broker's Network located at stations having an INTERSTELLE FACTOR which are all located in any low security system. But one must find them using blind luck or the system map. It will be listed near the bottom of the planets discription if its available or not. OR upon ones destuction regardless of how it happens.
The Suicide Winder glitch which used to payoff DORMANT BOUNTIES no longer does. Having a bounty now and getting destroyed convert the bounty to a DORMANT BOUNTY with a new timer set to what ever the original was. THUS if one has a DORMANT BOUNTY, though it can't be seen by anyone else, it can and will become active if scanned by any authorized personal such as station or security while in the system originally issued, NO WHERE ELSE, even if one uses a KWS, it will not show up. THUS forcing one to avoid the system until timer runs out or causing one's butt to pucker everytime there near a station or cop in such system. Because, if scanned, it reactivates and the timer and process starts all over again.
The Suicide Winder glitch hasn't been fixed entirely, it's been modified.
