I nearly dozed off doing the Broo Tarquin tea run—dropped the controller and it promptly lost contact with the xbox. Grabbed it, but for whatever reason it wouldn’t reconnect, so Futen terminal eventually killed my ship (I had just launched). Tedious, but whatever. Respawned with a 900 credit fine at the local detention centre, rebought ship, but no opportunity to pay fine, which would be kind of logical to do there, but anyway. Still in the hot ship, I visited local interstallar factor, where the text in the game clearly says that I can pay off bounties or fines, but no fine was listed and I have zero notoriety. I don’t think I can revisit the authority factor in Futen, because I am locked out there if I stay in the original ship.
Although this problem occurred on an xbox, I think the solution (if it isn’t a bug) must be the same on all platforms, so I need some wise person to help. Incidentally, the text of Frontier’s release conflicts with the in game text saying that factors can pay off fines—the crime and punishment release implies that they can’t, but the header when I load the factor says that they can. But the factor does not show my puny 900 cr fine, either.
Any clues about what I do, guys? I am secretly hoping that I will have to carry this fine forever, because it means I will have a good excuse to quit the tea run, but the illogical part of me refuses to give up and spend my time more productively.
