A recent discussion on the Elite Dangerous subreddit reveals player confusion about how galaxy-wide bounties differ from local bounties and fines. One commander reported a local bounty of around 32 million credits and fines of 2 million, yet the galaxy-wide bounty displayed was nearly 79 million credits, a discrepancy that does not align with their calculations. The thread also notes that destroying police ships inflates the galaxy-wide bounty more than expected. Understanding these bounty mechanics is vital for commanders to manage their reputation and avoid unintended gameplay consequences.
- Galaxy-wide bounty can exceed local bounty and fines.
- Killing police ships increases galaxy-wide bounty significantly.
