Is there a bug with bounty hunting ?

[Kepler]

I think there is a reputation bug while bounty hunting in non anarchy systems. Story is .... I am Friendly with the Federation. I went to a non anarchy system nav beacon to bounty hunt. I was very careful not to attack anyone that showed as clean with the basic scan, I also only attacked people after I KWS'd them. I also did NOT attack or accidentally shoot anyone that was green/friendly with the federation. I have report crimes against me turned off. Despite this after attacking a non federation allied, wanted and KWS'd bounty all the green targets turned red and started attacking me. I chose one sidewinder that was doing this and despite him actually continuing to shoot and hit me he remained clean with a clean KWS. I shot and killed him, and got a 5000 bounty on my head with a wanted rep in the federation and local system. I quickly paid it off at a local outpost, which was fine, and I am still friendly. This essentially means bounty hunting can't be done in non anarchy systems at the moment.

Submitted a ticket, but interested to see if anyone else has noticed the same issue, or am I doing something wrong ?

Well documented, commander. It is, apparently, a bug. A long time ago this was confirmed by Sandro the dev... Can't remember where... but others have argued that it is working as intended.

Thank you for ticketing it. I myself have entered apathetic mode with tickets and just cross my fingers now.

I have submitted 13 tickets now from launch, unfortunately none have been answered. I suppose they have had there hands full with launch and time off for Christmas (which by the way is well DESERVED!)

I think one problem with tickets being unanswered is that many players ticket everything without searching the forums first.
