Question on Bounty Cap/vouchers

[Galvinar]

I was reading through the Powerplay notes and came across this

"Reduced the bounty cap to 1 million credits per voucher"

What exactly is this referring to?

A bounty against you, i.e. when you commit crimes. You can still collect as many bounty vouchers from criminals as you wish.

I thought the cap for bounties "against me" was at 10 Million?
From the Powerplay Changelog
"Cap bounties to 10 million per jurisdiction - fines remain unlimited"

Well, the cap was originally implemented (or was it merely announced?) at 1 million, and then increased to 10 million in the 1.3 beta.

10m is far more reasonable cap, but it's still low imo, a PC bounty should be far more substantial I'd say cap at 50 or 100.

 

[Galvinar]

Both of these are from the same changelog list.
If the personal bounty is capped at 10 Mil.
What is the 1 Mill cap referring to? Surely its not saying "You can only kill 1 million worth in bounty vouchers before turning them in. We'll stop counting after that."

The per faction cap...no one can hold more than 1 mill in credits with any system faction...up to 10 mill total. Thought that was where we were at. In 1.3 there will be no Galactic faction bounties...all bounties against a player are held within the jurisdictions that applied them.
