You have dormant bounties from The Order of Mobius and Laviny's Legion now, correct? If support does not come through, getting rid of them is simple:

  1. Buy a sidewinder and sell the guns and all optional internals, you should now have a rebuy of approximately 700 credits.
  2. Locate a space or planetary station controlled by the Order of Mobius. Space outposts are best because they usually do not have cops around.
  3. Land there, launch again, select self-destruct, go b00m.
  4. On the rebuy-screen, notice that your active or dormant bounty with OoM has been added to the rebuy.
  5. Choose 'old loadout' and when back in your ship, notice that the bounty from OoM is gone from your transaction tab.
  6. Locate a space or planetary station controlled by Laviny's Legion, land there, launch again, select self-destruct, go b00m.
  7. On the rebuy-screen, notice that your active or dormant bounty with LL has been added to the rebuy.
  8. Choose 'old loadout' and when back in your ship, notice that the bounty from LL is gone from your transaction tab.

As long as the minor faction that issues the bounties controls at least one station where you can dock, there is no need to
  • Do this in open.
  • Have another commander scan you with a KWS.
  • Let security scan you.
  • All the other half-baked rules being banded on Reddit and in the FD forum.

You only need to make sure that you dock at a space station/space outpost/planetary port/planetary port controlled by the faction that issued the bounty before you take off and self-destruct.

If the minor faction that issued the bounty does not have a landable asset and the bounty is active, just land somewhere, go sidewinder, go b00m, and ignore it. If a faction is so unimportant that it does not have any assets, the chances of being scanned by one of its NPC are pretty much zero.

I just ignore bounties.

If a bh npc comes after you I either just evade or ignore.
And as long as you are not wanted in the system they hunt you in. And you have report crimes on they themselves become wanted for shooting you and you can kill them without penalty.

With 2.4 they will also start remembering the value of the ship you committed the crime with. So if you used your 35mil corvette to be naughty and figure you can just "sidey it". That sidey will cost you 35 million.

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

Since any impact between a ship and a skimmer will power off both shields and thrusters regardless of how powerful a ship you are flying.
5k mw cutter or stock sidey, shields go down and you fall.
Thrusters come back in a few seconds but usually just after you have made friends vigorously with the big beige thing.
Now add on that the settlements local sheriff takes it super personal, as if you ran over his beloved pet skimmer and screams "FIRE ALL THE L4ZORS!"
So there you are. No shields. No thrusters and a settlement in absolute murder mode.
Dear fd...


What really Tor? Grandlol indeed. We don't need Daenerys pet dragons, we just need one tiny Skimmer and off you go ...
And by the way thanks for the great report, made my day :D

Yes have to admit Tor, your explanation of events gave me a massive chuckle too :)

Thanks again Comet for the advise to send a support ticket in asp. Support has reimbursed me the lost ship, the lost mission fee and wiped both bounties, all in just over 24 hours.

*sings*
Skimmer down, you lickin' too hot, so
Skimmer down, soon you'll get dropped, so
Skimmer down, can you hear what I say
Skimmer down, that why won't you, why won't you, why won't you skimmer down


Ok, got skimmered the other day. Like 2 days ago.
Made a ticket at https://support.frontier.co.uk/tickets.php immediatly.

How long does it usually take till I get an answer?
And what information do they need?
I play on PS4 so there is no logfile available.

So I just told them, that I got this bug and what I lost.
Insurance, exploring data and some missions, I guess.

That's it? Waiting patiently? :)

I had a reply in about 24 hours, but I did slip in a £5 note (about $6.80 for my American friends :) ) with the ticket.

Maybe they have a higher amount of tickets due to the beta test.
Anyway got an answer and refund.
The given information was sufficient.
