Powerplay Power Play Bounties

[Ethaidan]

A recent change in tack on my part (a relatively inexperienced PP drifter) has accrued PP bounties from four different Powers - yay me! I've reread the 3.0 patch notes on C&P, but just wanted to double check...

Who can see these bounties? Is it restricted to other/opposing PP cmdrs? Do they need a KWS?
I do hope so, that will make flying through enemy space far more fun.

Are PP bounties, like regular bounties tied to the ship(s) used for undermining, expansion, etc.?
Again, I hope so - that would mean I now have two designated (& fantastic) PP ships that can be moved around as needed.

Will these PP bounties have an impact on my access to stations in enemy territories?

Cheers

The only annoying thing re PP bounties is they will affect ship transport prices (as they are hot). PP NPCs might get upset too.

Hadn't thought about transfer fees - are you sure about that? I thought PP bounties were excluded from certain aspects of C&P, such as notoriety, hotness, etc.

As for the NPC's, great - Interdict-submit-kill is how I got to 800+ merits so damn quickly the other night.

I'm more interested in whether or not/who can see the PP bounties with or without a KWS.

You will appear on the bounty board too if memory serves. KWS wise I don't know.

My current PP killship has a mild PP bounty on it, and appears as hot when I try to move it.

Players of the power having issued the bounty can see it.
No one else.
Just pay it and done.

How do you pay a PP bounty?

I picked one up after being attacked by 2 YG faction players. I also got a system defence reaction and the station took me out (I didn't hit the station or local defence force).

Is this a bug or how it works?

I have not been involved into powerplay for some time now, so I am not sure if I have the most recent knowledge. Still, since I am here and have some time to spend I can as well give my 50c.

What I know and remember from undermining earlier this year NPC security ships do ignore any powerplay related combat. That means you won't get a local bounty for shooting a valid powerplay target and cops won't react. You might get a power-bounty, but that should not attract security forces. Same should be true for the station. But I am not totally sure about that.

So maybe you hit some neutral ship accidentally to trigger system defense?

I can't find any other reason why this should have happened. I really would like to know if there is anything I am not aware of.

And about paying the bounty, I think you can only do that at an Interstellar Factor contact. Again, correct me if I am wrong.

Interstellar factors can be used to pay them off.
You have to go there in the "hot" ship.

Ya, I learned that the other night when I accidentally paid mine off. It was a bit disappointingly too easy tbh. I would prefer a more difficult route (payable only at an IF in the enemy home system perhaps) or a greatly increased IF fee.
