Year 3000, and no bank accounts?

I wonder how is posible that everytime i get a fine i cannot pay it from anywhere in the universe, i die in a sistem and a magic clone is activated, but there is no way to avoid getting killed in a system where i'm wanted for a riidicolous quantiy of 2400cr.

Please ad a way to pay fines more logical, in order to do not get deleted when triying to dock.

Its nosense i cannot pay fines before getting killed,

"-oh wait, lets make a great system to solve this, change your ship and then get deleted, that is a very futuristic way of paying fines."

this is my opinion, arcaic system.

I could have a bank acctount in desired system so they retry the quantity in that account and system, so no interestellar factors.

Lets get specyfic, if a ship can go on jump drive and travel lightyears, a wave could do so, a binray wave saying that i can pay a bill from the other side of the multiverse, if we get in scy-fi terms, its still ridicolous i can revive, travel and a simple wave of information cannot reach other systems

So your current real-life bank will pay your fines for you?

As Chris says, you can pay off fines in an Interstellar Factor, you don't need to travel to the system where you were a miscreant - don't go making problems when there isn't one.

I expect my current money deposits are not simmilar to year 3000.

As Chris says and as far as i know, i cannot pay fines from my ship, and from a different system where the fine is, thats the point i find the error.

Any low security system has a contact. At that contact you can pay off a fine in any system even different ones from the one you are in. That's called interstellar factors which is what Chris was on about.

Elite can't decide if it has FTL communications, so until then...

Some things are in the game are the way they are because that's the way the developers want their game to be. Yaw is underpowered because they wanted combat to be like WW2 dogfights. Station docking is the way it is because the developers liked the docking scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Some things seem curiously familiar to our modern day because they were going for the universe of being a technologically advanced dystopia. Respawning is like it is because the game audience would be tiny if you started all the way from scratch, and they didn't want to bite from Eve's idea of respawning, so they had to come up with something. Others, it's because it's how the gameplay works and there won't always be an ingame explanation as to why. In my opinion, it shouldn't be easy to make things right when you break the law in game. Otherwise, Open would be even more unplayable than it is because there's no consequences.

In the year 2221 the development of cheap quantum computers meant that any encrypted account anywhere could be instantly decrypted and all the contents stolen, the end result is the makers of money belts became instant billionaires and everyone carries everything of value with them wherever they go.

Problem solved!

I do not know, a border story maybe, an increase in the value of the fine to be paid depending on the superpower or the distance. (but I think it's very good as it is now)

Interstellar Factors already levies a Handling Fee for using them.

Just noticed, the OP isn't talking about fines at all, he's talking about bounties, which cannot be paid off, yet.

If only they'd looked at the feature notes for the beta coming up, this whole thread would have been completely unnecessary...

It's no different than today. Existence of your bank account is irrelevant, if you get a speeding ticket you still have to show up at the court to pay the fine.
