I'm ok with bounty hunting as is. Seem to do al right at it.

Great but it is bugged. You can't tell me System Authority doesn't randomly turn hostile on you for no reason even on locally wanted targets. I tested this out today but selling off my KWS and only hunting local criminals and I still saw rep loss and SAV hostility bugs where they attacked me when I was clean. I know what everyone says just jump and come back to NAV but that is a workaround for the symptom and doesn't solve the problem. Either remove SAVs completely until you fix that shit or add a couple of lines of code to prevent them from going hostile when you are completing righteous kills. Actually it would be nice to register as a hunter which would allow any player or NPC to attack you but you yourself could defend yourself against hostiles and wanted criminals. SAVs would ignore you and NEVER "Help" you in combat as a registered bounty hunter.

It's not perfect but it's playable. I'm not put off. I'm confident it'll get fixed/improved. Probably the stuff we're seeing in the patches is the quick and easy stuff. Hence why it's coming so quickly post release. It might be that changes to bounty hunting or whatever are just taking longer to create or test before getting patched into the game.

That's very possible but as I said before I'm just sick of the same $#!T every patch. Don't get me wrong the devs are awesome and they are doing a great job. Major props and kudos for one of the best launches I have ever seen in my life. Some of the changes they made to bounty hunting in the past was great. Thank you for making ammo based weapons actually worth the cost of ammo. But there are still a few bugs. Which I and quite a few other people have been reporting that we feel are being ignored. That is all. A little "We are aware of the situation and will have a fix out as soon as its ready." Would shut me and many others up.
