Very. There is literally a whole galaxy available and people limit themselves to a single system.
Not Wasting our time....

I'm happy with that, if this comes with only a shared bounty instead of the whole pay when you kill someone wanted.

I dunno bout anyone else, but personally speaking I have a sorta loop in the bubble so that when the natives are hostile in one area, I simply move to another area and continue on with what I was doing or something else. Gaining rep with different factions is now so easy and quick that ye really cant use that as an excuse not to unless yer just terminally lazy.
Personally Im quite liking the new crime and punishment additions because I now have a reason to play the criminal...I like playing the criminal, its what Im good at in almost all the games Ive played. It forces one to engage the gray matter a bit instead of just treating the place like the old wild west frontier ^
Tis a big galaxy...the only one keeping ye rooted in one tiny corner of it is you
Nope, Notoriety for PvE crime is precisely what this game is sorely needing.....indeed, I want them to extend it further by gaining notoriety for other crimes-like piracy, assault & getting caught smuggling. However, I only want that as part of an expansion of what Notoriety *does*. Notoriety needs to be both "positive" & "negative". NPC ships will more willingly give up cargo to a pirate with a high notoriety, black markets will offer better pay-outs to notorious players, criminal NPC's will be less likely to interdict a notorious commander, certain SLF pilots will work for you more cheaply if you have a high notoriety.....heck, even some missions might have a minimum or maximum Notoriety requirement. Basically, I want Notoriety to be a genuine feature of the game.
I was thinking "Minor Assault"-targeted attack on a clean ship, sufficient to do damage: Large Bounty, no Notoriety (at least under the current system); "Major Assault"-targeted attack on a clean ship, doing more than 50% damage and/or where the ship later gets killed by someone else: Larger Bounty, no Notoriety. "Murder"-any instance in which you deliver the killing blow to a clean ship: Very large bounty+ 1 point of Notoriety.
That is a system I could live with. You need trigger discipline, people.
Very much agree, I'd welcome this.
It doesn't though. People are using their alt accounts and playing with their others. People already have a lot of work arounds other than alt accounts too.
Fact is this system only hurts casual players and new players. Nothing about I is good.

Sure, though my long range PA's are now a high risk thing to fire into a dogfight.
How is hurting casual and new players? We didnt get a handbook to do anything else when the game launched - they will learn like they learn everything else.
Isn't there a damage threshold before you can take some of the claim of someone you've it though?
I've hit targets within 10s of them dying but because I've not done enough damage, not gotten the claim. I also recently had an NPC cross the path of my PA (just last night) and thought I'd get hit with a reckless fine again and have to go find an IF, but nope I was fine and dandy, thankfully (were like 4 Condas around so it wouldn't have been pretty for me ~ also not an Allied or Friendly system, was playing in a fresh RES).
How many missiles did you hit the NPC with? You did say 'missiles' afterall, which would imply more than one.
I'm not trying to be condescending by the way, I'm genuinely curious how much damage you dealt.

I suspect some people play the game in a genuine role playing manner which tends to require more specific operations and choices than the just get CRs angle that can be done anywhere as mentioned

Yes, and it works.
People claiming that they are triggering bounties from just "winging" clean ships is bullshtein. It's them playing down the fact that they have no trigger discipline.
No they just don't come back. I've tried to get 3 people to join after they changed Engineers and all of them left because of the C&P.
How about teaching them trigger discipline, or show them the galaxy map filter? People are acting like C&P is the end of the world when in fact the only real change other than the bounty being attached to your ship is the station lockout. Everything else is no different effectively.
Only accrued fines last time I spend some time in a high res for friendly fire, at least until the third active infraction, which lead to it being elevated into a bounty. Granted, I was only in a Viper, though four railguns aren't a love tap exactly either. When I finally got a bounty, all security became red but didn't immediately prioritize me as a target, so getting out of mass lock and to the IF next door was easy.
There is the option of not doing combat at all.
I'd say they don't have patience.. considering how many times this happens in a RES, and you only have to hit the target ONCE to get the bounty, this conversation is getting too far for the value it has..
EXACTLY, police wont go immediate after you, and if they send some, it will be two vipers, the rest will stay on their focus.
You need to stop with the whole 'trigger discipline' thing. Maybe stick to something you actually know about? Ever been in combat in real life? I have, and in my opinion you're talking complete rubbish.
As for the C&P is also rubbish. It gives you fines against factions but doesn't allow any way in game to find the faction HQ to pay it off. It also adds fines to ships not involved in the crime! And add to all that the current bugs in combat play. Ships breaking target lock, ships losing their target reticules, ships being unkillable, ships showing up with unknown as wanted status, ships leaving SLFs behind.
All in all, the C&P looks like it was designed by a drunk intern. It wasn't tested, it wasn't quality assured.
