Insurance payouts used to be capped at 500 ₢ (I think they are either 250 or 500) and probably still are. Bounties are related to the ship bounty, I think, and used to be much smaller (usually not above 200 or even 150 ₢). Perhaps the ship this pirate ejected from had an unusually high bounty?

Nope, I remember it well. It was a Cobra IV with 34cr bounty. It was the last thing I killed (With a broadside military laser and three turrets) before I docked.

I have scooped many a capsule from one of these and never had this before.

Yes, we know that Oolite's random name generator can create that. B&B had to famously throw away a whole galaxy because there was a planet with that name in it.

Sorry, should I delete it?

I thought I read a conversation on here some time back where it was asserted that it was just a myth.

Things do change over time, including things likely to cause social outrage. So far as we know, Us Arse may be the name of a famous rap singer in that period. He may be showing up loaded down with priceless petroleum-based plastic jewelry, outlandish garb and just trying to get to his next show.

Considering the casual use of "iron arse" or "iron ass", I doubt anyone's parents are likely to take away their computers and write outraged letters over it in this day and age. I'd leave it in, since when you see such a name in the middle of some long hauls, it's just amusing.

Besides, it may be a perfectly innocent name in some alien language. Anyone remember the movie and tv series "Alien Nation" and what Detective Sikes name sounded like to the Newcomers in their language, Tenctonese? :wink:

Now if only "A'rear Rogers" had been "Rogers A'rear" in that screenshot.
