I'm having the issue that if I accidentally fire on a vessel before i get the chance to scan it,Ii become wanted and I can't get rid of it by docking and paying off a bounty or crime, it doesn't show any fines. Is this a bug or is this the way it is now. I used to be able to pay off my crimes when I did this.

I opened fire too soon also. I'm WANTED! I'm waiting right now for 4mins countdown in a Station I docked in without getting scanned. So will see if I can pay it off after this and then hyperjump back into the same system to see if WANTED is removed. What is the sense in this? It seems very childish, pointless and without any sense. It's like being told I am a naughty boy and go away into a corner to then come back to feel I have done wrong!?!
OK, 4mins elapsed I can't pay it off and so I must go away to come back risking getting a scan to die. Cheers!
RETURNED, I am now not WANTED unless I get scanned in next 7 days right?

If you jumped out of the system, that may be why you cannot pay off the fine as it is from a minor faction in the system where you got it, so when you jump back in, head to a station and pay it off. You won't be wanted, as it should have become a fine, not a bounty.
If you just SC'd back to a station in the system where you were wanted, then you have to jump out and back before the bounty becomes a fine.

It's the latter in mine and OP case. I could not pay off fine during 4mins nor after so I jump out/in and there is no fine anymore (strange). Therefore it was a bounty to kill me and is now clear. I'm back in HI-RES and had many scans so there is no 7days to clear anything in this case.
Hmm. It should have become a legacy fine, but I guess if it's not showing in your transactions tab then you are good to go. Saved you 400 credits.

That's the spirit!
I personally think that this Elite is going down the Tubes, never have I seen so much anguish caused by the programmers who obviously would not make a decent author who keeps up with the plot etc.
I have looked only at power play and to be honest what crap. Again hire an author who can produce a proper end all and do the job properly. Hardly any one understands Fines and Bounties including me.
There are so many Bugs in the main programme which is just not funny. Even the Galaxy Map is a fiddle to use and is fully cluttered and you have to Reset it every time u use it. I am really proud of the peopled mentioned that discovered things but we do not need the clutter on the Map. 1.2 I was beginning to enjoy and get on with, but at 70+ and an original Elite player 1.3 is absolute cccc . All now I look for is a stupid fine for aggressive piloting when 2 Ships try to enter the Letter box whilst I am leaving.
Taking on a 'Kill' mission whilst not knowing that he is not a wanted in any which way.
Even scanning him u have still taken on the mission...
Due to our programmers continuously altering things and refusing to correct the basics I find it ridiculously disagreeable that we all paid for a 'Game' that was never finished and is beginning to resemble a right 'Hodge Podge)
How in my Asp I can get a 130000+ integrity Bill is unbelievable, especially when not been in Combat or crashing into stations etc. We pay repairs for so called Integrity which seems more like a Programmers 'I am in charge' attitude.
Any would be buyer of this 'game' even at the reasonable price it was, looking at these forums would be disgusted at our comments.
The fact that good players are talking about destroying ships because it is cheaper than paying the so called Integrity Tax.
This 'Game' is to make Millionaires, or even Billionaires - so what! stop digging at our brains with all the unnecessary minor Rubbish, which does nothing but annoy, as seen by these Forums.

We need a thread on Integrity. All players experiences noted and if it is better just to keep selling your ship (even just to downgrade + after you sold all the upgrades first). It can ruin players if you lose so much of grinding to do all over again. So I wonder if never to pay any Integrity at all!
I did not see any point what so ever for my 4min countdown timer. I was made WANTED straight away, could not pay off bounty at Station before or after this but only after 4mins and jump out/back in to then need to dock and only then see any Legacy Fine. It would never have been noticed if I did not dock at all in that system! It's childish and just weird. If I got scanned by cops then it makes it challenging but for 400cr is it at all worth getting killed when you yourself did not kill?

The high integrity issue was a bug, and has been fixed in 1.3.3.
By the way, ship integrity degradation is caused by super cruise, so if for example you spend a lot of time exploring and SC'ing around systems to scan planets, you will end up with a big degradation in integrity. There are a number of threads on it, but as I said, it was addressed and fixed in the last patch. Obviously if you had a big charge for it from before that patch, it won't go away until you pay it and 'reset' to 100%.
@X-Terminator. All bounties are now persistent, from about 7 minutes for something like friendly fire to 5 days for murder. Lots of threads on it too. The best advice is to try not to hit ships you are not targeting, which can be difficult in dogfights, but it is generally possible. Or rage.

At the other end was just the 130000 integrity bill.
I agree, people have ground away at trying to make a few millions, which is the whole point of the game. remove the 'niggles' put the Bounty back where it was and the fines not all this rubbish of timed bans etc.
there are lots of players being banned from there own 'home' worlds etc. and of course it is unjustified.
You are probably not getting away with illicit goods any more, and I still do not know where they are illicit. Cops now are interdicting and searching you. I am scanned at every Station now and who cares about the Respected ally or whatever it is.
moan, moan and moan.
I keep forgetting it is only a game, but we are the players, Why cannot we be insulted sorry consulted in an attempt to remove the niggles.
It is a shame because in all my years I have never played such an addictive game, although that is now slowing going.
Enuff I'm off for more Rares before that gets nerffed even more. Hell ive only got 53m and a worn out Asp.
