This doesn't appear to be working. At the station I'm at currently, there are 18 missions that require 'founder or elite', and two that do not.

Yeah, looks like most of the stuff they said they fixed isn't really fixed. Courier still heats up like a BBQ grill, still can't get strike bounties at all.
I test just those two things with every patch and if they're still broken, I quit and don't even bother testing anything else in the beta because I can't trust that will be fixed either.
It's like when I was in the Army and they were maddening about proper wear of the uniform. They figured if you can't get something as simple as wearing your uniform properly, then how can they trust you to crew an M1A1 tank properly?
If Frontier devs can't get something so simple as a heat value or military strike voucher done right, how can they be trusted to get the more complicated faction stuff to work at all?
Obviously Frontier is having serious internal QA issues at the moment. It being summer, I bet the guy who usually is in charge of that team might be on vacation.

We're all going to be wanted somewhere! I would think not. ;P
How is anyone supposed to know this? Have the weapons been unlocked for testing?
Alright, let me better explain, mainly for those that don't bounty hunt at resource sites;
Resource sites only contain ships comprised of the systems factions, now let's say you pledge to Zach Hudson to get those nice bonuses for bounty hunting. You'd cut off a large portion of your potential earning income from bounties as you wouldn't be able to shoot alot of the wanted ships.
Major Faction bounties comprise of ships destroyed in Major Faction space comprised of a large portion of ships from that Major Faction.
At least this how it currently works, I'm predicting in almost all circumstances a res hunter would be better off abstaining from PP alignment so they can continue to shoot all wanted ships in the belts.
As usual, the patches quickly follow. Congratulations Frontier ! Soon the 1.4 ...
Not sure that you are looking at that right Nonya. The patch notes sad they made changes. You've tested too things and still see issues. Great, report that the changes are not enough to resolve what you see are the problems.
They are using this to fine tune values, do not assume they will get stuff right on the first (or second) pass.
Ok, let me try and present my question in a less confusing way;
Will it still be ok to shoot ships that belong to the same major faction if they are wanted by the major faction or a member of that major faction (I believe all bounties are now local) or will there be a conflict of interest?

Great work.
Three bugs for me fixed. Gal map now remembers view. Mouse now works when buying multiple limpets. Minor damage on ship now shows under repairs and is now repairable.
