No offense made here mate. I tried to discuss the possibilities like others also did.
If it's still bugging you then please ticket it. I for myself have done a few of these missions and never got bad rep. No local or galaxy wide.

I choose my targets, even when been called out for a mission.

Well, this was clearly my mistake. I guess the forums are only to be used for saying positive things about the game.


No one made you click on this, so don't act so aggravated for having to read it...

No they aren't.
But you don't want to discuss and say that i for example imply your person to play the game wrong what i didn't. I wanted to clarify all the possibilities involved with your issue.

You clearly don't want that. That's ok.
That was the reason i don't wanted to write any more messages in your thread.

I'm out, sry for your loss bro.

The reputation system is absolute crap.
I failed some missions and maybe got scanned a few times with illegal goods. Now every federation ship attacks me. If I actually manage to get a mission for a federation faction they are now even harder to complete. If I drop out of hyperspace to kill some pirates there's now always additional ships attacking me which makes it even harder to not get destroyed and loose even more reputation.
I just started playing and am still deep in federation space.

midnight_Sun323, firstly try not to upset the people who are actually here to help you try to work through your problems, these are all good commanders and have helped many people in the past.. Myself included :) I think you just got the wrong end of the stick which is easily done on forums ;) no harm done anyway but it had to be said :D

What they are trying to say is that as you say in your Opening post you used the "KWS" scanner to track these prates down, that's probably the reason your getting negative rep. I will explain why.. Even though the patch notes say wanted status ships wont effect your reputation, what they Actually mean is wanted status ships that are wanted in the current system, you are playing in wont cause you negative rep :p..
You see the "KWS" will look for a wanted status on a ship in many different systems and if they are wanted in that other system it will apply it so you know. This doesn't help you much in that its no justification in the eyes of the feds to shoot him down when he's in a different system to the one he commuted his crimes in..

You can still get the bounty if you go to the relevant faction to claim but you will get negative rep for the faction that the ship is registered too, when you kill it.... UNLESS he is wanted in the system you are currently in :)

For advice, the best way to get those prates is to go to the USS, unidentified signal sources.. These usually spawn mission critical stuff if your in the correct system.. (USUALLY)..

In spite of me explaining that the gamma patch notes specifically stated your rep would not be affected by killing wanted ships of the same faction.

Please refer to previous Gamma patch notes.

the K-warrent scanner also shows warrants from outside of the system you currently are.
thus those shown as wanted can very well be friendly to the system , shoot them and you lose rep.
shoot to many of them and you turn into their favorite target.

I agree it needs to be more clear who you can shoot and who not.
but for now it seems to be working as intended.

Its simple. don't use the K warrant scanner. Check first if they are wanted in the system you are by just target them. You can also do a cargo scan to se if they carry illegal goods. If they are clean it mean you cant attack them with out getting punished ( Unless you are not in an anarchy system).
Just use the K warrant scanner on targets that have wanted status and perhaps increase the bounty check.

You do get rep for shooting down wanteds. There was a list somewhere which stated everything giving rep and all types of bounty hunting gives rep. Just saw you (OP) wrote that shooting wanteds does not give rep. I do that all day long and i get blue arrows pointing straight up. :)

I wonder though if you by mistake took out the wrong wanteds (wrong faction group)? If the mission is from a certain fed group and you attack wanteds that belong to that group you lose rep i think. Have to make sure they are from another faction group (like "golden triads", "peoples faction for good" etc within the faction). So if the mission is in a fed system and from the golden triads group then you cant take them out. There are always a bunch of groups in every station so be sure they are either another faction or another faction group. Sorry if you did this and still lost rep. Then im sure its a bug.
