Original Post — Direct link

I'm experiencing a big problem with turning myself in to the authorities when I have a bounty. I do so on foot, but yet I respawn in my frikin ship! Ok, whatever. I take off, any hyper jump to main menu. Not ok, not whatever now. I respawn back in the pen. No ship this time, but my menu says my ship is docked in the pen and the elevator says otherwise. I go to the computer console and I can't call my ship or any other ship. The menu just drops out repeatedly. I take a taxi to where I tired myself in... no ship still. So I kill myself planet side. Respawn in my ship. I go switch ships and can not get back in the original one without paying an impound fee of the total rebuy cost of the ship. All this over the original bounty cost of a space McValue Burger. This is repeatable. This needs to be addressed... PLEASE!

Hey CMDR,

Following the recent update 12, the following has been added:

When a player's bounty is claimed whilst they're on foot, their active ship will be impounded at the detention centre they're sent to.

The impound fee is intentional by design and will prevent you from boarding or transporting but we are currently aware of some issues surrounding this implementation and our QA team is currently working on a fix.
