So I reactivated. I have a 3-4 year old bounty. I don't even know what it's for. So I thought, OK, this sux but I can get this fixed in a few days. First to my dismay I learn that you now get 1 PR per mission !!! So I have to run 70 missions to get to 0... Then the rating in other factions drops by 1 each hour??? So I'll have 0 in all of them by the time I can clear this. OK, bad carebear changes in a pvp game but ok, I can still handle this.

I'm flying my missions, super boring, back and forth, back and forth. Droids launch from stations and shoot me as I'm docking. I'm told I can't shoot back or I'll get -10 PR. WTF. Then as I'm docking the stupid droid CRASHES into the station because it can't fly and I get the -10 PR. Perfect! 1 hour of mindless flying back and forth wasted.

Please tell me this is a mistake and not an intended feature? Just how does one clear a bounty???

Then I can't log onto the jossh forums to get help for some reason even though I'm using the correct credentials. Email support doesn't reply...

I'm about ready to give up on this thing before I even got back into it... Does anyone here maybe have some answers?

I believe others can give you PR now. I may be wrong though.

[Regan]

*yes, people can /vouch now to help you with the bounty
*killing flux in your faction will raise PR (which would help if it's a home bounty)
*getting bounties from crashing droids is glitchy i do believe (i can talk to *griefmaster to get that fixed for you)
*AS for support...

*Perhaps some of these other lovely people could help you, since my computer and connection sucks and i haven't played much in the past 5 months.
*Welcome back, btw ... don't give up!


P.s. since it's a quant bounty.. lemme know when you'll be on and i'll /vouche for you a time or two.. (which will bring your pr up 10 points per /vouche)

[Algore]

Every 5 flux you shoot gives you 1pr point also. Probably better doing that raher than trannies.
Makes me giggle when bad boys return and their neg pr bites em in the butt

[Luke]

Every 5 flux in quant space? Every 5 flux anywhere? Do you have to take a mission?

Droid crashing and giving me negative PR is obviously a bug (I hope...).
As for the bounty I never did any pirating with Luke so it has to be from a squad war.

[Argyris]

You will get PR for the faction where you kill the flux. For example if you are fluxing in GL/DG you build up your PR for Sol and Oct at the same time. No mission required btw

[SingleShot]

The -neg PR for DD kills was never a particularly well thought out idea. Since they do crash all the time.

Bounty penalties certainly have crept up a bit over the years. Not the end of the world, though.

*grins* I'd be happy to do away with them entirely and have squad/individual pvp requests for pvp.

...As in, in REG space - I can invite Algore for a fight and only he and I can fight to the death for 1 death or I can have the whole of FC invite OV for a fight and have that last x hrs/days before ships become impervious to shots again in REG space. Of course invites can be refused.

..................It is my dream and it is New years so I can voice it. Happy new years!

[Ambrosius]

Well bounties such as the one you started out with are pretty hard to achieve. You'd have to be VERY bad to get that big of a bounty (whereas before it was a few civ rips). So under today's bounty formulas the work off would not be so significant. You were just unfortunate enough to start out with an "old fashioned" bounty.
