The notoriety system, in its current state, is irritating... to say the least. Here's why:
The wife wants to watch TV in a bit, so I say, "sure just going to sell my Krait - Phantom and swap it back for the MKII variant --oh, wait, I can't..." Why? because if I remove all my modules and sell my ship, I'll have to re-clean them before adding them to the new ship because the system in its infinite wisdom decides that even though you've paid your bounty, or sold the ship to which the bounty was attached, you will still have a bunch of dirty modules in your inventory from before you had paid your bounties and fines, or sold the ship." . My inventory is littered with dirty modules(mostly all engineered A-grade G5s), that belonged to ship that have long since been sold, or their fines and bounties paid...
So, my next option? "Let's go clean my rep [sigh]..." so just like that, a 5 minute ordeal turns into closer to 10... "sorry, babe, give me a few minutes, I have to go jump over here now and do this stupid thing with the I.S. Factors..."
[upon arriving at the I.S. Factors hub]
I.S. Factors: "Oh, we're sorry...we'd love to help, but you're too high profile..."
Me: "I'm f'ng level 1!!! Call me 'High Profile' when I've reached at least stage 5 notoriety!"
Guess I'll watch that movie because I can't do sh- in this game until I get my ship launch fighter for what I want to do next and I'm not about to pay 5+ million credits cleaning modules. And just like that a 10 minute deal became 2 hours and 10 minutes...of just pointlessly waiting around for some stupid timer to say, "okay, we can clear your wannabe high profile a**, with a notoriety level of 1(?) BWAHAHAHA! What did you do? J-walk? Throw a cup out your cockpit? Call an officer fat?"
