Sorry didn't know, thanks for correcting... Never tried it... I thought it worked that way...

Except this is not true. Do you know, how many players you have to murder, to acquire even just 1 million Cr bounty? Around 160. Nobody gains multi-million bounties by killing players. They are acquired by being scanned with forbidden cargo and letting the fines expire. That's why aren't even useful as an "honor batch", because everybody could easily acquire them, without pirating or killing a single player.
Then why they didn't capped the fines instead of the bounties ?

That is correct. To put the limit into perspective only 64 players had a bounty of more then 1 million credits this morning.
Michael
Nope. 1 million credits is a single round-trip in a Type 9.

It's only two rares runs in my Cobra (about an hour if I hustle...).
At this point, the BackSim players are hoping that the 1.3 overhaul will fix these issues. If not, we keep playing and hoping for the BackSim to get repaired. I agree though. The frustration level related to these bugs, is rising, with the expected problems for the game and its player base.
I am curious as to the effect of the new Justice system will have on some of the techniques people use to effect changes on the BackSim. This set of current changes is needed, but might exacerbate some of the issues that the current Justice system has. Time will tell. To the developers, thanks for your continuing work and know that your efforts are appreciated!

This patch is to combat the gold sellers, not the PK's.
Also, when you farm NPC for bounties, what's the largest bounty you've seen? Personally the largest I've seen is about 150000-200000. Having a max of 1Mil (per faction) on a PC makes sense. Now you have to farm PC's too to make a decent living as a BH. When 1.3 comes in and bounties will become persistent, this will become easier for the BH too. You may even see more PC's with multi million bounties in game:

With persistent bounties, the number of "millionaire" criminals will increase. A lot of people where cleaning them off too easily.

What's taking so long to put the Anaconda paintjobs live ?
What about the tactical packs teased 3 weeks ago ?
What will you do against the bounties exploiters (I've seen some guyz with more than 30 billions...) ? Now you know how to prevent it, but you can't obviously let those guys go with it !

my understanding is no, just harder to farm as once you hit 1m in a fed system, you need to move to another controlled by a different minor fed faction and farm up to 1m. rinse and repeat. going to give it a try tonight.
I'm quite disrupted about how it gonna work... If you get fined for more than a million, you just have to wait 24h then pay your bounty decreased from *************(Billions) Cr to 1 MCr ?

Hey Edward, I'm wondering, will there be any reparations of the players who abused and used this system such as these fine examples? http://postimg.org/image/5h1nvlga7/full/

Hell, this Commander even admitted to using and abusing this and made a contest out of it.
Edit: It is pretty apparent what these players are attempting to achieve illegitimately. If these players were to be investigated and/or punished, I'd recommend looking into who also claimed those bounties. I'm 95% confident they were likely associates of them!

I just wanna see those guys banned for good (bounties exploiters and wallhack exploiters and combat loggers, ... all those cheaters and exploiters... Make me sick....). Damn ! It's an ONLINE game ! You can't let them go with that !

That is troublesome in and of itself, but a separate problem. Bounties for PKing are laughably trivial.
Are you investigating them with a view to banning the farmers?
A broken record still is clueless even if it repeats the same things over and over and...
Let me be clearer, as you won't mistake me for just another bothersome troll:
We all knew, and accepted, the game would have been unfinished at release.
Go read the initial kickstarter pitch and whatever newsletter Frontier released.
You really come off as someone who is angry at the sky being blue-
Deal with it: Sky is blue, there's a solide reason behind it and you can't do anything about except waiting until sunset so you'll see it becoming red.
Have. Fun. While. Waiting.
But if you can't do otherwise...

Have some cheese with your whine...
Well, tbh (and a little off topic) those bounty board things are not very reliable, but I have no issues with attaching bounties to ships, or to modes, I have no problems with most of the ideas out. Its just that everyone always wants to go full nuclear and bring up separating modes. They have said it multiple times, they will never separate the modes, and in this situation, it wont make a difference for the exploiters. What can be done in a group can be done in open, in a group. Maybe not as secure, but it would still be easy. They just have to stay on the move.
Again, I need to say I have absolutely no problem with something like limiting bounties to the mode/ship they were generated in. But I want the ability to switch between modes when I want. Not because Im hiding, but because I dont always want contact with other players.
My main point is that why should all commanders be penalized because a few people exploit or "hide" their bounties in solo...why should a mode be separated for that? If FDev separates the modes, it should be because they want to do it of their own volition, not because on small mechanic (that has a big effect in its own way) forces the split of modes - Anyways - this is all off topic
I believe this was a step in the right direction - Like they said, they could increase the cap past the 1 million, which I think they will eventually do. But with everything going on, this was a good way to stop or slow down the majority of the exploiters for now. Itll take alot more time and effort for them to come up with, select, and then implement a mechanic/idea to combat the whole situation

Quite. That guy (naming no names) has done multiple very naughty things in the past, as we all know. Yet it appears that he has had no more than a couple of smack-on-the-wrist banlets.
