wanted scan

I was just bounty hunting at a RES, targeted a ship which was being shot at by all the feds and before my basic ship scan had finished on the guy i opened fire (risky i know, since i cant be 100% sure he's wanted, but its almost certain he is). I gained a bounty for shooting him, but seconds later my scan revealed that he WAS wanted. I had to boost away before i got gunned down, but having 'illegally' shot this guy i was still awarded the bounty when he died (did not shoot after the scan had finished so this was definitely awarded for the 'illegal' hits) .

So i was essentially issued a bounty for attacking a wanted ship just because my scanners hadn't finished their scan. I was wondering if anyone here knows if this is a bug i should report or if it's an intentional part of the game so that we have to scan ships before we shoot, even if they are clearly wanted.

Intentional, because you "can't" be 100% sure until that scan is done. Getting more and more dumb, though. Especially with wings, a friend will often say to me when we're hunting together "name, ship, wanted" so I can close in on a target even before I know if he is or not, but I still have to wait for the scan to finish.

Yeah, RES are much better now. It's easy to get caught up in the action and just want to shoot right away, especially if you see one of the better ships.

As long as i know it's an intentional part of the game i guess it's fine. I would definitely prefer it if as long as the ship is wanted you can attack before a scan, but i'm sure the updates being worked on atm are more important.
