My name is Boxcar and I approve of this message.

What's the latest on Nav Beacons? That's where I currently do my hunting (being a newb and all).

This must be a record, last night I got a 115 CR bounty!

Ha ha, I'd be pretty happy with 500k but I guess you're a bit further along than me!!

I did think 200 was a bit stingy.

FAOD I don't mean 200k, I literally mean 200!

Last night I thought I would do a bit of bounty hunting at a Nav beacon and got two (very low) rewards of just 200 credits each. The lowest I'd seen before 1.3 were about 3,000.

This seems new. Has anyone noticed this since 1.3?

Thank you guys and I will take your advice.

I feel better today because I popped on for a cheeky half an hour earlier, took out a wanted transport then picked up his cargo and sold that on the black market.

What happens if you submit and stay put, but are carrying no cargo? I wasn't carrying any. Do they just check then let you go?

Thank you, will try that.

So to summarise, throttle back to zero and wait for the interdiction to settle down. Then full boost and engage FSD as soon as able.

@Casey Casem - it was an NPC.

Just won a juicy (for me) 33,000 bounty at the nav beacon but got interdicted on the way to redeeming it. No cargo on board and the powerful ship just destroyed me in a few blasts. There was no way to avoid the interdiction (the blue circle was all over the place) and he started shooting me as soon ...

Just got my first two bounties after being interdicted by wanted players, I'm now 30,000 credits better off!
