I would like to see a system for yielding to authority when on foot. I no longer wish to go to any surface settlements because the risk of being randomly shot to death for even such minor infractions as: standing still, walking, retrieving items on behalf of the owner, picking up jobs from a terminal and getting in my ship are punishable by death. I cannot understand why being scanned with contraband in space results in a fine, but being scanned with contraband on foot results in instant lethal response.
Also the ramifications of being shot to death on foot are much worse than they should be: I get a bounty for being aggro'd which is still in place after lethal injury, from the settlement faction; if I have any missions I fail them, I get a fine and bounty from any faction who I failed a mission for, I have to pay to get out of jail AND I have to pay Apex taxi to get back from prison to my ship. In addition I lose reputation with everyone concerned.
All these serious consequences could in most cases be easily fixed early on if they didn't escalate to a lethal response immediately. I would rather just hold up my hands, and pay my 500 credit bounty for standing too close/walking away/holding a can of spam, than be shot to near death then fined, and fined for being fined, and have a couple of giant bounties for being in possession of mission items and then going to prison. Please can we have a yield mechanic at surface bases because I am too scared to visit them anymore as I don't trust the people who live there not to shoot me.
