I'd still like to be able to sell them to a broker at a discount. You could even buy them from a broker in large quantities and then make the trip to cash them in. Either way, the broker gets his commission.
It's time to give this another go.

I'm gonna kick this dead horse one more time.

I think there should be at least one system that will cash any bounty. I think the home of the pilot's federation in Shinrarta Dezhra might be a good choice. It seems that it already represents pilots from all over civilized space, but right not you can't even cash Alliance bounties there. There might be some legitimacy for using Sol as well, the birthplace of humanity. Is there still some kind of UN there but for all planets (except anarchies)? Or maybe the home system of each power play faction - cashing there would benefit each faction.

I'm just sick of my full transaction tab and I'm not going to suicide just to clear it. :x

The problem with Sol/Shinrarta is that they are permit/restricted systems.

The idea of the power home system makes sense as you would think that there would be the equivalent of Embassies in these locations. Maybe you whould bring this idea up on the FD forum. Although it would be solved if they did the same that they have done on the mission and provide an "Open Map" feature so we can target the system that the bounty is destined for.

I for one will not toss out credits, so suiciding to clear a screen is out of the question. If I am killed at some point it will clear itself.

Sometimes even google is no help.

But yes, the Galaxy Map option would be the best.

I'm surprised there isn't a faction database on sites like eddb.io yet. Maybe Frontier could add bounty agents to the starport contacts tab, so you can basically sell your unclaimed bounties at a reduced value.

Just another gripe to add to the HUGE list of BGS probs that FD will continue to ignore for years to come, I suppose :(
