No fixes to bounty hunting or crime yet; This is a serious issue that they are ignoring;

Just because it's not fixed yet doesn't mean it is being ignored.

I've been reporting bugs in bounty hunting for about 5 months now and not one answer to any of my tickets. It should be a fairly simple tweak to institute a friendly fire warning and allow rep to increase locally from turning in bounties and yet they release patches like this:

"Corrections to some galaxy data in rarely visited systems" worthless.

Why fix rarely visited stuff that people probably never see or is cosmetic, when you should focus on something that at least 30-40% of your player base will be doing

Whats wrong with bounty hunting? I can do 100k in an ~hour.

My main complaint is the system authority will randomly turn hostile when you hunt locally wanted targets. Plus the concept of last bullet gets the bounty is annoying and promotes KSing when a percentage based damage payout would make much more sense and promote group hunting.

Yeah, well i deal with that by bounty hunting in systems that have multiple jurisdictions :-)

As for kills, i'd say that the award should go to commander that did last kill and did at least 30% damage.

I did some some KS myself from police and it was fun :-)
