Wanted in SC, clean in normal space...

[Vegar]

So, I'm supercruising around a system picking of poweplay NPCs. Suddenly I notice another CMDR in the system, flying an Asp. Scan shows he's wanted. Left hand panel confirms this - bounty of about 7040 credits.

So I interdict him. His shield fails pretty quickly, and so does his hull. But just as I'm delivering the final salvo I notice - he's not wanted, he's clean.

Now, I'm absolutely positive this CMDR was wanted in supercruise, as I doublechecked before interdicting him. And he never left SC before I interdicted him. How can he have gone from wanted to clean when I interdicted him? Is this a bug?

Depends where you pulled him out of warp, different regions of space within a system can have their own jurisdiction. Same deal on planets.

Lol, although utterly obvious, I never thought of that one I guess I overlooked this, for about a year or 2

Jeez. Never thought of that. Well, then at least he was wanted in some jurisdiction...

It works like this: the faction that controls the system has jurisdiction over it, apart from stations and bases controlled by other factions - then you're under the jurisdiction of the faction that controls the station you're near to. Anywhere else in the system - it's the faction with most influence. The current jurisdiction is always shown on the HUD, to the left of the scanner, on the little screen, where your target is shown.
