No station to collect bounty

[SirAdelaide]

So, I earned $30k in G-123 49, an anarchy system, payable by Purple Dynamic Industry. Only thing is, the two outposts in the system are run by their rivals (Gold Crew? or something like that), who won't pay me out.

There is a small chance that Purple Dynamic have a presence in a nearby system, but there's no indication of where. Before 1.1 update, the non-major faction bounties told you which system they were valid in. Now, if I jumped away on a trading run I'd have absolutely no idea which region of space the bounties were from.

I have the same issue with a different system. I posted a thread but it disappeared with no replies

There's already a thread on this. Its a known issue, to which there was no solution as of yesterday. Mostly the bounties are for factions that don't exist or don't have any influence.

 

[uncle bulgaria]

The ones I have the factions exist as they're in the local info tab (press 5) that shows your status with them but no way to contact them

I'd not be that bothered but I have bounties with them of nearly 100 grand which are worth having and were gained by taking out an Imperial Clipper and Python.

Seems they missed missions up quite a bit. I also have a mission to deliver to a station that doesn't exist. I can only imagine it was one that was renamed or changed.

Lol
So now since 1.07 they've messed up trading (according to some) exploration (the cartographics CTD bug) bounty hunting and missions.

Great job FD!!

Seriously though patch introduced some really nice changes but come on FD lets fix this!

I have to agree - I'd rather have less new development and better testing / more bugfixing.

Yep having the same problem.

Small factions listed in system info that have no station in which to claim your bounty seem insistent in awarding bounties since 1.1. Quite annoying, only a few K to a couple of factions so I'm not so much missing the money but they are clogging up my transaction tab :-(. If this is deliberate surely you should be able to claim these bounties in existing dominant factions staion for example.

I think I will stop using KWS to see if that prevents this, hopefully then only the dominant faction with a station will award a bounty. Nerfs bounty earnings in the mean time tho ggrrrr. Do we know if the devs are aware - if not I'll raise a ticket, not keen to raise another one when they take weeks to answer.

There are several tickets raised on this topic that I am aware of.

 

[ollobrains]

theres been a few suggested fixes for this and each has merit.

Via pilots guild is one. that would make it easier. The other is to have minor faction representatives in USS sites which u can interact with and claim the bounties that way. Missions for a minor faction to collect for them bounties up to a certain value and then turn it into them the station controlled by another faction. The values could scale 10k, 50k or 100k and give perhaps a combination of influence gain, civil unrest gains and economic bust up.

The mission or USS sites are the most creative solution not sure others exist but theres a list

I like the idea of voucher and bond dealers who will buy any voucher or bond at a discount price.

Thanks for that - I won't hassel the devs with another ticket then.

Hmmm some good ideas - however I don't want to be searching USS just to claim lots of minor faction bounties. That will get old fast, USS are used enough.
