Hahah! Yes.

Carrying wanted passengers definitely needs a status warning like you get for illicit cargo or being wanted yourself. I've been killed this way twice so far, it really is a design flaw. But will be fixed in a future update I'm sure.

I need to transfer my DBX or Cobra for these wanted passenger missions. The Python isn't the greatest for silent running into a station, get through plenty of heat sinks.

I'm currently running a cold Orca, almost shieldless and it works perfectly. I'm already a confirmed smuggler, not being scanned is a second nature.

Speed and coldness is the key.

FDev have confirmed this is a glitch. You're supposed to just get a fine. If you fill out a support ticket, they're refunding the rebuy cost to everyone who's be burned by this.

I have to agree on this. Even though the person onboard is wanted, why do we die in like "PEW pew, dead" and also say you fly a Beluga. You have a lot of passangers on your ship. One is wanted. " okay we open fire and kill all the other families on the ship, but at least we got that shop lifter" i dont understand how this makes sence. When you are on a plane in Real life, there is also big chance that one of passangers has a bad history, but that dont justify the AirPort to fire a Stinger at ya. I pretty much never complain about the game other than my own misstakes, but this is just lame. "Yeah well then dont pick up wanted passangers" ofc then why even have them in game then? Another feature we won't use then? No this needs a ballance. Some passangers may be wanted in some systems? Sure but which? You dont know before you get scanned and PEW pew gone. I have lost many ships now on this, and they die in 2 seconds litterally. An Anaconda really? No this is a really lame way i think. Oh we got one bad guy on that ship, lets kill the other 50 people too, cause maybe they stole candy as a baby. Better safe than sorry i guess.

Sure and i agree, but they dont blow you up if they scan you for having drugs on you at the station. Here we have 50 people on a jet. One guy stole candy from a baby " oh you beast how could you! You have doomed the rest of the passangers cause we are gonna Nuke you now." Just because the cops are to lazy in the future to walk up to the landing platform and say" this is the police... Come with me if u want to live" oh and the rest of you family people can go on with your buisness. :)

What i want to know is, when carrying a wanted passenger, why dont you have the Wanted indicator above your fuel guage?????

Surely that would help a LOT

I don't know if this is a bug or part of the game, but it is getting really frustrating being kill as soon as I get scanned by the security if I have a passanger(s) on board and it the mission don't state to adviod getting scanned or you will be killed on sight. Two times this happen and now I'm down 11 million credits each time this happens. So if frontier is looking at this plz change it or atleast give a warning in the HUD when entering the system, give the people who have been effected by this a chance to go silent running or leave the system.

I totally agree. Here's my story:

In my first mission in a new Orca I picked up passengers, headed out, and got blown up losing 4 mill.

So, best I can figure, I apparently picked up a wanted passenger (?) who posted on a public message/mission board he needed a ride, and then he walked through the public parts of the station to board my ship.

The local authorities, instead of monitoring the public message board or hallways of the station, thought the best way to deal with a wanted passenger was to wait until he boarded a ship full of innocent passengers, and then blow up that ship as it left the station, which imho is just stupid!

Since then, I don't carry passenger and have sold my orca lol

The best way form me if I got a wanted person on board my conda I look in the transaction many look at am the passengers I picked up so i will know if they are wanted,if they are I do there mission first so that i can get them out of the way. Once I reach my destination I line my self up with the port entrince and request docking,the sec. I see my ship get scanned I go silent running and proceed into the station.

If you're really that worried about wanted passengers, just avoid them. 100% way to be safe.

This happened to me. Returned to the game after not playing for a while, left a station and it blew me up. Then again a just a few minutes before posting. No Fines, No bounty, Nothing just scan then BOOM!
