Reports indicate that XXXXXX was killed in an incident unrelated to the bounty posting....
Right after i just killed the guy with my transponder on.... this is the 4th time i got denied payment i was owned over some meaningless technicality by whoever has all that money yet is too lazy and chicken to take action against the pirates themselves.
And yes i've triple checked it... transponder on... even an allied fleet nearby this time, but not in the fight.
Really killing my early game, trying to work up some credits.
(was using RC4... getting RC5 now gona try loading from my save i made, right before the bounty kill cause i thought i was going crazy or doing something wrong.)
*update... RC5 seems to work now... thankx Alex... on with the carnage!
