[Minor] Bounties Paid on Already Dead Characters
« on: November 23, 2015, 10:04:00 PM »

If you kill a bounty fleet that already lost its named leader, you still get full pay as if you had beaten that fleet. Not a huge issue, only benefits the player, but doesn't make a lot of sense.

Relatedly, it seems as if luring a bounty fleet into a patrol and merely participating in the fight yields the full reward for you. Haven't really tested that yet though, just from memory.

(The bounty only being paid for the last hit (or most hull damage) on the ship of the wanted officer would be nice, since it allows for sneaky tactics without being trivial.)

The game was completed 8 years ago and we get a free expansion every year.

Arranging holidays in an embrace with the Starsector is priceless.

I'd prefer simply proportional to part of bounty fleet that was destroyed by your fleet. Though having several times more worth on bounty fleet leader than other similar ships would be fine too.

Thank you, fixed.

Re: payout - it was always proportional, but there was also a bug (fixed for .1) where it would display the full payout while only paying the correct fraction.

Also, if you are able to pick on the remains of a fleet (after it got mauled by a patrol) without assistance, you still get full bounty, even if the named character is gone.
