To me this Anonymous Access protocol for 100 cr fines etc is a bit dry, frankly just dull and not to mention stupidly inconvenient for the level of offence.
Here's my suggestion to improve the experience but I realise it'd probably be quite complicated to add to the game
Of course all values and thresholds can be tweaked but I think this would make for more interesting game play and perhaps even allow the inclusion of some interesting "redemption" tasks if the player was unable or unwilling to pay:
"Attend to this matter and we'll wipe the slate clean..."

- Players should be able to stack fines of less than 500 cr. Anon Access is not implemented.
- At a certain threshold, say 1000 Cr, access to certain missions is denied "Outstanding Fines" and or handing in bounty vouchers etc results in a smaller increase in faction rep while fines are outstanding.
- At a mid level threshold, 2500 Cr in unpaid fines more missions are locked out of the mission/passenger boards and a reminder is displayed on docking. No rep can be gained from handing in existing missions or vouchers. In certain systems the controlling faction may choose to disown you sooner while other less picky factions continue to do business with you.
- Finally at 5000 Cr you are restricted to Anon Access but are still able to pay locally.
