The Bounty Hunting & Bounties tips, and general discussion thread

your stuck with it
i have 1.5k claim with some group called "Lightspeed Accommodation" likely will never find them again
be nice if you could search a faction name in the galaxy map and it would return the closest system they are in
 
That's unfortunate. They should have the system name in the entry or have the ability to view detail about the transactions... I do know I was near Sol. but that could still be 100 different systems. crap. :(
 
How to pay off bounties

During a skirmish at an extraction side I accidently hit a security force guy and got a 200 credit bounty for the Federals and was wanted.

I attempted to pay it by flying to a federally controlled station (as I had done in the past in my sidewinder without problems) but was blasted out of the sky in my Viper that I just bought.

How am I supposed to pay off bounties if they kill me when I go to pay them?
 
I've heard different responses to this. Not sure currently, However Check your Left UI Panel and go to the transactions tab. Any bounties owed will show there.

damn man i was close to killing 2 other wanted guys worth 15k a piece when i was shot down by the police
 
As far as I am aware when you die in the game any bounties you do not collect before death will be lost. Please make sure you are willing to take the risk before you continue to bounty hunt.
 
I have not yet died with bounties on me, so I cannot say for sure but if you don't collect them then why would you get he money to pay for a new ship, it makes no scene to me.

You loose your bounty vouchers upon death... sadly....

i had 90 K bounty vouchers on me and got into a fight with an anaconda (which i would have won easily)

Sadly as i used my afterburners to speed past it while strafing with my guns the *VERY NICE* NPC turned right into my path and i couldnt dodge.

As you can imagine, i was quite mad.

BTW

Collision with afterburners = Instakill.
 
Bounty Rewards Not Credited

So I've been bounty hunting for a few days now but I've had a few bounties today not be credited to me. I don't mean I didn't get the kill - I mean I got the kill, the info panel indicted the bounty was awarded to me but then it neither shows up in transactions or when I go to turn it in. What gives? I've had this happen when fighting a wanted anaconda (where it said I got 119k but I got squat) and several other smaller bounties (5-10k). The game says I get them, but they just vanish.

I submitted a ticket, but I'm not sure if there is some way to avoid this? Kinda sucks losing bounties randomly.
 
Well that's sad to hear, do you use any rockets ? I highly recommend that you get some I collected a 200k+ CR bounty's in one go today but you just need to make sure you are willing to take the risk.

No im using cannons + lasers. Rolling quite well with that.
 
Missing Bounties

I sent a ticket into support more than 48 hours ago, so now I'm looking towards this forum. Recently many bounties have been not given to me for kills. This is a big issue for me as I don't have alot of money, but when I kill an anaconda and it says i receive an 130,000 bounty then fly back to the station only to see that its not there, you can imagine my reaction. Can i be refunded of atleast this bounty, or is there a way to fix this as im missing more than 200,000 creds from bounties easliy now.
 
I would use rockets I find them very effective. Talking about the fixed and dumb fire kind, the ones I use have 24 rockets each they are fantastic for taking out big and small targets if you got the aim. Best of luck :)
 
Your bounty kills are saved in your ship log, so if you lose your ship, you lose those vouchers UNLESS, the kill happens in front of the authorities, in which case they can radio the kill into their home base. You would then, still get credit for it. Never happened for me though.
 
Have you had your ships destroyed? Or changed ships? I know that they are saved to your ships log, and if you lose your ship, you lose the bounty. I do not know if changing ships would affect it or not.
