Notorirty, Is it broken?

WingNuts · Mar 9, 2018

Last night I killed a shot a npc before scan finished. Cops were shooting him before I did. Anyway, I attempted to get out before he died and didn't make it. So I've got a bounty of 5,400 and 1 notoriety. I say crap and quit for the night.

This morning I'm in a station having logged on. I am going to wait the 2 hours and clear the fine. After 3 hours I come back and I still have the 1 notoriety?? Whats up with this? I logged out and back in no change. Now I'm just crusing in space.

Suggestions please?

I believe time on the Landing Pad does not count. But, I have not been able to confirm this. If you could wait out your time off the pad, and potentially confirm this, it would be most beneficial.

Thank you. An answer to this will settle it. Good luck Commander.

You have to go elsewhere WITH the ship & its original modules (the ones that were on it when you gained the bounty) and pay there ... check out the link for more info ...

But be aware that some are having trouble just getting them to let them pay the bounty off. There is in fact a bug thread which I appoligize but I do not have a link to ...

Hope this helps ...

P.S. .... I may be confusing two different items here ... if so I appoligize for my faulty information ... in another thread referring to Notirarity the FDevs commented ... see here ---> https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/410470-Notoriety/page2

Scan before you "can"

WingNuts · Mar 10, 2018

OK finally cleared it.
You have to be flying in space / super crusing / flying regular space for the counter to work. Sitting on a pad at stations will not work.
After notoriety goes to zero log out and back in again. Then you can pay the fineoff.

Thanks for the confirmation. This can/will clear up a ton of questions.

According to the official C&P faq:

https://support.frontier.co.uk/kb/faq.php?id=423

Notoriety does decay while docked, however it will not update in your statistics until you are undocked.

So it could be it only updated after you undocked. However, I had the same issue yesterday, and it didn't go down after I undocked. Took about 8 hours for the notoriety to finally be gone, even after I had sat undocked for 2 hours. So who knows.

That's why all the confusion, for me at least. It really looks like Notoriety isn't ticking down on pads. Anyone with the proper data should bug ticket it, and see of FD can put it, or us right. I'm a good guy, and don't got no time for bounties, and Notoriety. This could use some clarification.

Fired on a ship the cops were firing at w/o remembering to let the scan finish first (oops, my bad) and it blew up. 5k bounty. Left the system and landed elsewhere to pay the fine. Could pay the Alliance bounty, but not the system bounty (presumably due to notoriety of 1). Alrighty, so far working as I might have expected. Have had troubles shaking that 1 notoriety, though:

Spent 2-3 hours on a pad Wednesday evening and it held at 1 notoriety througout.

Spent another hour or so out in space outside the station. No luck.

Logged out while outside the station and came back yesterday. No luck.

Fly around multiple systems doing some minor exploration work in anarchy systems within the bubble. No luck.

Sitting on an icy moon on the outskirts of a system right now, driving around in my SRV picking up materials. So far no luck, but who knows!

Some of that was in Private Group, some in Solo (after I saw on the forum that solo can work as well as open?).

Anyone know if you have to be in an inhabited system? Off the ground as well as off the pad or do planetary/lunar surfaces count? How long is it really?

I definitely concur that some information on how this system works would be very very welcome.

Kaederin · Mar 10, 2018

Well, while I was going to the trouble of finally making this forum login and posting, it looks like my notoriety finally ticked to zero.

So, clearly, in answer to my own questions:

1. Yes, it must somehow count whether in inhabited space or not, since I'm currently in an unihabited system a few LY from an inhabited one (within the bubble).

2. Yes, it must count if you're on the surface of a planet/moon, because that's where I'm at right now.

As for the amount of time, that I can't help with. Best guess on how long it took me to go from 1 to 0 is around 5 hours in total playing time? 6? The first 2 of that was on a pad, though.

Cmdr WingNut says you must be piloting your ship in SC or Regular space to see the counter go down. Better have a look at that.

It's still broken. Mine was zero for over 3 hours and I couldn't dock anywhere even systems over 200ly away.
Another borked bit of Fdev tripe.

blew a cmdr up for nicking my kills ( was for a mission ) - after i warned him. first i did 1 shot which made me wanted and about 10 feds started shooting me instantly, along with said kill sponge. i sat there in my 1.4billion combat fitted cutter in amazement at this pewny little python giving his all. Then in about 2seconds he went pop

think he was abit suprised. Anyway i left and continued with another mission in a nearby system ( im after modified embedded firmware ) so kill 126 ships for 5 i dont mind. Anyway.. the notoriety ticker definitely isnt -1 every 2 hours... think it took about 4 tbh.
