Been stuck on notoriety 1 for a week now. Tried to pay off the fines, can’t. Just self destructed and spawned on the prison ship, still notoriety 1. Is this normal?
The dreaded notoriety
- Thread starter Mentezerelli
- Start date
gametime. you have to stay logged in for it to count. It decays while logged in to the game at I think 2 hours per point.
Just had a relapse. 19 hours and 52 minutes til I'm at 0 again.
I only kill players and do nothing else in elite so I usually have notoriety, it's no big deal really. The crime and punishment system in elite really is poor at best.
Pretty much. There's a few stations you can't use services at and every now and again a bounty hunter pops up for you to blow up and scoop up some mats.
Yeah, it's pretty standard stuff.
Uh? How did you manage that? I am irritated. You actively played for almost 20 hours to get rid of notoriety? You were at 10 notoriety or what?
And on what others already said: you loose one notoriety per 2 hours. That is, active playing time. According to some reports sitting on a landing pad seems not to count. I haven't tested that myself. The few times i got notoriety (i don't aim for it, but once a while an accident happens), i just switched system and carried on till it wore off.
The current C&P system is very low on teeth. It's really nothing to trouble you and really should get upgraded. A criminal career at the moment doesn't really seem like one, which is quite disappointing.
For about the whole of the last 2-3 weeks.
Really it gets to the point where you have to say that no one cares what the Pilot's Federation commanders get up to so long as we don't set fire to the whole system.
Sitting on a pad counts.
Half my playtime I have Notoriety, since playing the BGS (yeh, that's my excuse). Living with Notoriety does absolutely nothing to change my every day work in the game. I guess I am one of the very few that thinks FDev needs to up the C&P several steps. As it is now it can't be called a punishment, not even close to. At the same time they need to fix the piratey feature (it's close to non-existant) and how Anarchies work.
I was curious so went to 10 notoriety in my alt account - got absolutely zip for being it.
Landed anywhere, could take any mission, just got tailed by some poor NPC anaconda's occasionally, who spent so long telling me "judgment" was upon me I usually FSD'd out of there - they certainly didn't entertain me when dogfighting!

does the prison ship sell small seismic charges by any chance?
