Clean NPC got in the way of my frag's and, apparently, took enough damage to justify a Cr300 bounty rather than a fine.
Decided to skip all the IF malarkay so I just handed myself in at the nearest station and got sent to the nearest prison-ship.
No problem. All working as intended.
Thing that really freaked me out, once there, was the use of the word "redeploy" in context of paying off the bounty to get my ship released from custody on the prison-ship.
Didn't help that I was flying my Python 2 and I started to panic that I was going to lose a lot of engineering and it'd be a stock P2 that got "redeployed".
Fortunately, I realised that I'd bought my P2 with Credits, after it was released into the game, so there shouldn't have been any "Arx ship" options linked to it.
Paid the Cr300 to get my ship "redeployed" and it was returned to me with the build and engineering intact.
I assume it'd be even more confusing if a player was flying an Arx ship, got exploded while doing something naughty and, at the prison-ship, had the choice of a rebuy or an Arx-redeploy mixed in with the prison-ship redeployment.
It'd probably be quite easy to accidentally make the wrong choice and end up with a stock ship instead of your previous build.
Just occurred to me that, now we have Arx ships, it might be an idea to take a look at the wording of some of the dialogues aboard prison ships, related to rebuying/releasing your ship from custody because having words like "deploy" and "redeploy" in there is a bit ambiguous.
