Attitude adjustment?
Hello commanders, I have just had to pay a heavy fine, and now I have been sent for attitude adjustment. I'm a little nervous about attitude adjustment, has anyone ever been sent to attitude adjustment? What was it like? What should I do or not do? All I know right now is not to panic.

Re: Attitude adjustment?
I have been sent for attitude adjustment on occasion. It ain't pleasant, and eats-up time... but it does clear one's legal status.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills

Re: Attitude adjustment?
My run in with Attitude adjustment means spending time "cleaning up after the Lobstoids" in the main hanger deck. That took some time to do.
However, I did run across a level 4 confederacy in Gal 2 that gave me an attitude adjustment after I cleaned out all of the :questionable" ships in the area of the planet. It seems that I was ruining some lucrative business deals and it was not appreciated. After launching I got the notice that I was not welcomed here anymore and an over eager galcop started in on me before I laid my jump coordinates. I am glad that my Veloce runs at .48lr and quite a bit faster on military injectors, so I was able to get out of range while setting up my jump coordinates.

Ha, they tried to adjust my attitude once - it went from bad to worse

I don't have an attitude problem.. I have an Authority problem..

Re: Attitude adjustment?
Well, I was disappointed with my attitude adjustment. I was hoping to become just like commander Smivs, but I ended up being lectured and shocked repeatedly. At least I didn't panic.

Re: Attitude adjustment?
I was very unlucky... It started when I scooped a GalMine Pod that popped out of a pirate Python that I had just blown up. Instantly, I became an offender... But I swear that my intention was to return it back! So I went to the nearest Space Bar. Silly me... I forgot that my nice bounty hunters fellows are quite intolerant versus people with an offender status, even if they are veteran hunters. I had to run away very quickly.
Ok - i thought - let's go to the main station, pay the fine and do some "attitude adjustment" to clean my status (I have a stash of latex gloves to clean the latrines ... When you live in your small spaceship, sometimes you need them).
I docked and an officer came to me. He asked for a bribe to clean my status. 10000Cr!! I shouted at him "Are you crazy?", and went away... Fatal error!!! He took revenge changing my status to Fugitive with a bounty of 350Cr... "Ok! Challenge accepted", i said. Saved the game and lauched. My new "mission" was clean my status.
I kept junping from system to system, sunskimming, running from police and military ships, fighting with those vile bounty hunters that one day are all "Yeah! Greeting commander. You are a great hunter. Take that gargleblaster!" and the other shoots you in the back.
Obviously, no main station allowed me to dock. I kept running, fighting and hiding. I searched for some Salvage Gang to buy a status cleaner. I found two of them, but without the item I needed. I even found an Hacker Viper that told me how ro reach the Hacker Outpost. I went there, docked... and instantly launched out while the outpost was blown to pieces by a stupid bounty hunter! Those people are crazy! I destroyed him... tried a couple more salvage gangs... No way...
I had to solve the problem with a "Kobayashi-Maru manouver" to the save file.
Damn! I knew that power always brings corruption, but I had never tried it on my skin.

Re: Attitude adjustment?
I think there needs to be an "Oops. Sorry!" OXP maybe try and get round those accidental mishaps. The amount of times I go to help a Python in distress, shoot them by mistake and have to flee the fuzz is all too regular for me. Maybe I need new glasses
I find the law in games can be pretty harsh, the bounty I've racked up in Skyrim for accidentally stealing a fork would surely clear the national dept!

Yeah, it's like the time I tried to help a Viper once and accidently shot it - well the idiot flew right in front of one of the bogies! You can imagine how well that went down

I had the Furball OXP installed and launched into the middle of, well, a furball. Looking at all the lovely yellow-orange flashing blips was making my mouth water, when someone else launched, decided to have a pop at me and my auto-targeting system locked them up. At this point I flicked over to rear view in time to see fire from my auto-turrets go drifting merrily past the target - and straight into the station. Cue all six Galcop vessels in scanner range deciding that I was the one most in need of "rehabilitation".
It was at this point that I moved the "toggle weapons" key onto my joystick.
