HumpsterNotoriety not decreasing as intended. I have been stuck at 6 notoriety know after a firefight with some of Zachary Hudsons ships i caught one with a blast of laser fire and upset it so him and his buddys turned on me in anger i took 6 of them down and legged it.
Notoriety at 6 been logged in for over 12 hours in open and not a single digit decrease is there anyway i can shake this off as its killing the gameplay for me. I have logged with many others as a bug on the Frontier official forum. If i fly back to Zachary Hudson space and get killed will it reset?
Thanks
J
You're breaking new ground with that one. I read somewhere the warrant is on the ship and it may stick. I don't think the suicide option works any more either. They say you will spawn in a detention center for the duration of your sentence. All stuff I am trying very hard not to learn about first hand. I do wish you well and I would like to know how this works out.

Brynhild HervorsdottirMarra MorganBrynhild HervorsdottirAnyone know what Recon Limpets are for? Apparently they're for hacking, but hacking what? Are these for the new megaship interactions or can they be used for other things like planetary scan missions?
Crime stuff. You wouldn't like it
Oh, you misunderstand my stance on crime. Universally illegal things like slavery, smuggling contraband, piracy, and murder just for fun? Not in my wheelhouse. On the other hand, raiding surface settlements for intelligence or striking their skimmers? If my side's declared war on them, then it's perfectly fine. I don't doubt they're pissed and charged me with a crime, but my side's declared it a military target and therefore valid. One thing I do draw the line at is commerce raiding though.
Slavery is not universally illegal. In the Empire, it is a long standing and respected tradition of elevating your station in life from the rabble into proper citizenship. It is a well-regulated industry. In exchange for a few years of indentured servitude, you get healthcare, an education, training in a trade you can market room and board, and Imperial oversight to make sure you are not abused or forced to do anything outside your contract, usually.
Elsewhere in the bubble, slavery is horrific, truly. Humans treated as chattle, forced to work in dangerous environments, worked to exhaustion, demeaned at every turn, and sometimes having their organs sold off to cover the cost of their own upkeep. But this is the same for the Federal peasantry too. They call themselves "free" as if it were some sort of comfort to have to pay for your daily ration of air along with your bunk on some mining colony on the permadark side of a moon nobody's ever heard of. What sort of Freedom is that? You're born to wage slaves, and your own biological needs keep you there.
Now, I will be the first to admit, I was very lucky. I was born in an agricultural economy of an Earthlike G-normal world. But my economic calculus wasn't going to get me much farther than maybe some modest real estate there. I might have had a farm, and might have even died well-off after a score of decades relative comfort. But it would have been an inconsequential life. I was 12 years a slave, and it got me into my first Sidewinder. I was fortunate to sell my contract to an established and respected family, and they would not have suffered the asset forfeiture, never mind the social ostracism, that comes with abusing their contract. I was doubly fortunate that Sir gifted my contract to his daughter when she married (well), and thrice lucky that her husband was very ambitious businessman sourcing materials for Gutayama. He was away a lot. She was bored and lonely, and was brought up on a farm so I was hardy and fit. She treated me well, got me schooled and trained, took me along on business and leisure where I met all sorts of people and learned about the galaxy that lay outside the local gravity well. Once I got into my 30's, and she had a few kids, Madam's priorities changed and my contract was concluded. Her husband died unfortunately when a surface miner malfunctioned. I liked him. He entrusted me to mind his wife in his absence, and at times in his presence also. He funded my berth to Trevithick Dock and underwrote the initial loan for my first Sidey. I visit her and the kids regularly. They're not my kids, of course. Slaves cannot have children while under contract. But I'm always welcome, and they will happily renew my indenture when I get tired of the stars. The paperwork is already written - all the years I want of physical needs met to excess in exchange for stories of my wanderings and babysitting of the children's children, teaching them to fish, ride horses, till soil and other essential things one can learn coming up on a farm.
The point is, slavery, at least in the Empire, is a choice one makes. It is no different than marriage in the Alliance or enlistment in the Federation. Some may make this choice under duress, but tell me - how many join the Fed navy just to escape from their circumstances? How many marry only to have the option of not relieving the life of their parents? Crude slavery is vile. No human deserves to be captured against their will and made to perform like some sort of trained verrix. Imperial slavery though, while sharing the same nomenclature, is nothing of the sort. If I had it to do over again, I would not change a thing, save maybe to get a hippocampal spanner for the duration because on some level, I do feel I was more object than subject regarding that time. It would have cost another year or two, but there it is.

if any one could share their experience with getting their minor faction put in (like what kind of faction controlled your system when it got put in, if you can remember) it would be super appreciated!

When we applied for NF to be put in Coma last year we chose our preferred allegiance and government type and it was just fine. Didn't match what was in the system at all.
Once you're in, and it can take some time, it's up to you what happens next. Depending on your location and other factors (like neighbors, traffic, etc.) it can get pretty interesting.

thats good news, my group is stressing out about this a little bit lol. we want an independent corporation but there isnt one in the system, so getting one there will be a bit of a process if it is indeed required. good to know this didnt matter for at least one group (im hoping this will be a trend

Just out of curiosity, what system are you looking to move into?
04 Mar 2018, 5:12am
Phisto SobaniiYou bow to an Emperor yet insist you are no slave.
Fascinating.
False dichotomy and gross over-simplification. Showing respect to someone you deem worthy of it is not subjugation. You can pay taxes to a government and not be its slave. You can respect a priest and not be their slave. You can honor a benefactor and not be their slave.

Phisto SobaniiThere's lots of smart BgS people here. If you ever need help, just speak up here or on the Discord.
Just out of curiosity, what system are you looking to move into?
we wanna keep it hush hush until we actually get our PMF because we're paranoid of someone tryin to swipe it from us

1. Do they have power over you?
2. Would they compel you to obey them against your will?
Governments, priests, emperors, presidents, senators, gods... all claim authority. Disobey them and see what they do. You'll find none of them will let you choose your own path.
A happy slave is still a slave.

When doing a wing-shared mission - never ever remove comm messages that pop up after the mission has been completed.
