Greetings and welcome to Mobius, Commander Tronus.
Thanks for taking the time to explain the situation where you and others were attacking pirates. you are certainly not the first or the last person to run into this predicament. Yes, the game mechanics awards the bounty to the last commander that fires on the NPC, so if others had also attacked as well, they came away empty handed. One solution to that situation is to wing up with the others in the RES. Then bounties are shared among the wingmen that fire on the target.

Please feel free to add your name to one of our 'In game friends lists'
In game friends list for PC and check out our
TeamSpeak servers or
Discord (voice and text chat) servers to easily chat with, and possibly wing up with other commanders.
Also, make sure to check the
Policy page if you haven't already

On top of all of that, we also have a
Facebook group and
Twitter feed.There is a lot of great info on the message board, and we have compiled a long list of
Tips and Tricks to help new players acclimatize to the game while having fun.
Finally, if you are interested in being involved,
go here to see information about our player group faction, the Order of Mobius (based at Rafferty's Mobius station in the Azrael system). We have our own
Order of Mobius Twitter feed.
