New Improved Kill Warrant Scanner is a sick joke

[sollisb]

I have tested the new and improved Kill Warrant Scanner.

The new version does indeed now include all bounties.

How-ever, as is the FDev way. get this guys and girls;

You have to visit each station hosting the faction for the bounty to collect it. I have a list of 18 bounties not collectable in my home station and to collect them I have to now process them individually;

1. Select bounty
2. For which faction is it?
3. Find out where that faction is located? Any in game tools for this? Not that I'm aware of..
4. Goto the station to collect.
5. Goto 1 until list is empty.

I hope to god this is a joke, and not some sick twisted idea of good game design!

How do I find out where each faction is ??????

What are you on about?
Bounties have always worked like that - collect them where the faction is present or at a Broker.

 

[Gun Star]

You cant go to a IF to collect on them like before 3.0?

 

[Hellakitty]

Go to Interstellar Factors and claim them in bulk.

•edit - bounties claimed via KWS have always worked this way, it’s nothing new.

I WANT TO BE UPSET ABOUT SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!


FYI... bounties have always worked this way, not much really changed, and yes, Interstellar factors agents are great ways of clearing up that list.

Your friendly neighborhood Anarchy should have an Interstellar Factor for you to visit. Easy!

Yup, that's main reason the IF was originally introduced. Has the OP used a KWS pre-3.0?

 

[MottiKhan]

The KWS isn't new and improved. It changed so it would only show the highest local bounties, but was reverted back to its original design after all of the feedback. It's now back as it should be.

But but but that -25% penalty at IF...

 

[zarking]

Lol

The price of convenience and time saved...

Well, I'm in the pub and I just had to send a pint back because it was off. Count yourself lucky, my friend.

As the leader of a anarchist player group that has fought very hard for their system I hope this oversight gets fixed soon.

It's a trap

What??? You have spare time and you're not flying your spaceship?

What do you think this is? A game?

 

[Hellakitty]

No further comment, OP?

 

[CMDR Carbo]

LOL, isn't that how it always worked? And when Fdev tried to simplify it, people complained.

No further comment, OP?

They're too busy raging in another thread about the anarchy outfitting situation

 

[Mr_sukebe]

Made it to dangerous, but unaware of how they work and couldn't be bothered to look it up in the wiki first. Just, words fail me.

Yep I do have further comment!

Prior to this release 3.0 KWS picked up all relevant bounties. They were then broken into Fed, Emp, Ali. And you had to visit those to collect.

This new crap fest gives you lists of bounties to collect at each factions station. Yes I can go to IF and lose 25% Why would I do that??? Or, I can visit each station in the entire bubble looking for the faction in each of the stations because there are no tools to tell me where to go. Why would I be interested in doing that!!

Further! MucltiCrew don't share them!!

I have no problem with you guys being happy with this.

Personally I think it's another time waste created by someone with no clue about enjoyable gameplay.

I think it's time to take a break from ED. I was delighted to hear they were going to fix the KWS. I didn't expect this sadistic implementation though.

It was fun <o

I'm pretty sure you can also filter systems with IF in them so they are easily found on the map. Not sure if you need to visit that system first though, as it is with the material traders. I noticed this around Lembava when I needed to pay off a bounty, so there is a good chance I had been to many systems around there before and that's why the IF systems showed up on my map. Saw at least 5 systems in the area showing IF near Lembava.
