Your bounty will reduce with each system-to-system jump. The cops will stop bothering you after a few jumps, or when you pay a fine.AdmiralEmrah wrote: ↑Thu Aug 07, 2025 11:32 pmno no we are clash with cop only by mistake I was been offender, I was teleport other planet I was been clean*, I was teleport different planet cops was saw me and they was say this; if you will dock here you will penalty this, I was clash with cop only in 1 planet, why I am being offender all planets again and again?Wildeblood wrote: ↑Thu Aug 07, 2025 11:17 pm1.

Re: Strange Offender Status
Wildeblood's answer was based on the vanilla game code. But Hermitage requires a selection of other OXPs including Smugglers which introduces offender status for arriving at a station with illegal goods which are only illegal at that station. And there may be other OXPs involved too.AdmiralEmrah wrote: ↑Thu Aug 07, 2025 11:32 pmno no we are clash with cop only by mistake I was been offender, I was teleport other planet I was been clean, I was teleport different planet cops was saw me and they was say this; if you will dock here you will penalty this, I was clash with cop only in 1 planet, why I am being offender all planets again and again?Wildeblood wrote: ↑Thu Aug 07, 2025 11:17 pm1.

Re: Strange Offender Status
1) Lobstoids are lobsters. But the usual punishment involves cleaning up after craboids - presumably a form of crab.
2) OXPs which annul the vanilla game's penchant for reducing criminal status with every hyperspace jump include
Anarchies OXP &
Bounty System.
3) Vanilla game legal summary:

Re: Strange Offender Status
If the offender status keeps coming back, I'd reckon "Bounty System" is to blame. It doesn't matter how many jumps you make if that OXP is installed. Your crimes will follow you everywhere until you deal with them.Cholmondely wrote: ↑Thu Aug 07, 2025 11:51 pmBut Hermitage requires a selection of other OXPs including Smugglers which introduces offender status for arriving at a station with illegal goods which are only illegal at that station.
