Hi everyone,
sorry if this is the wrong section for gameplay help, but I'm a backer from Kickstarter that got Gamma access yesterday, and am struggling with some things. I can't seem to find an up-to-date answer for this anywhere.
1. I seem to get "wanted" status randomly for no reason at all. It's driving me insane. I'm playing solo to get used to the game, and I haven't attacked any clean NPC pilots at all. I haven't even deployed my weapons in hours. Still, I seem to randomly get wanted status. I have already paid a bounty to clear my name 3 times, and got killed twice because of law enforcement suddenly thinking I'm a criminal. I'm not transporting any illegal goods, I haven't fired in the vicinity of a station, nothing! What could be causing this?
2. Related to the first problem, I'm currently trying to pay my bounty in a system where it says: "Allegiance: Federation" (LHS 448, Seddon Dock). But in the only starport of the system there is no option for me in the 'Contacts' tab for me to pay it up. It says I have no criminal record. What gives? Are these bugs?
This whole thing caused me to become Unfriendly with the Federation and it's made me get from 20000+ credits to less than 1000. Basically some 5 hours of play wiped :/
While I'm at it, a few general questions about the game:
3. Almost all missions in the Bulletin Board are unavailable to me, mostly because I'm not trusted enough. Is improving my reputation with a faction the only way to solve this?
4. How can I up my reputation again? I presume attacking Wanted NPCs and collecting bounties. But where can I find them? Is there any place where there's lots of ship traffic or something like that?
4b. Sometimes I see a Nav Beacon waypoint where I see ship traffic, but this appears to me randomly. Is there a way to find this in every system in the Navigation screen?
5. The trade route info in the galaxy map utterly confuses me. I can select each trade good individually, but sometimes there are no lines going out of the system I'm in, for a specific good that is produced in that system. Is there an easy way to check where I can sell things that are high supply in a given starport, while I am looking at the Commodity Market screen?
Thanks in advance for the help
