I've been receiveing a number of questions about how to lower your bounty and increase the reputation, so you can stay out of bounty hunters way, so here are the main reasons your bounty would increase / decrease.
As you know, the bounty on you is tied to your reputation, but not necesarly. For example you may have a positive reputation, and also have a bounty on you, because you do something that decreases your reputation and in the same time increases the bounty.
To increase your rep and lower the bounty on you:
- Kill Reavers, the more you kill the better. Get a smaller fleet and attack multiple times, that will lower it even faster.
- Successful missions / encounters
- Bounty Hunting
- Take your counters
Decresing the rep and increasing the bounty on you:
- Multi - attack someone, the more attacks the bigger your bounty will get, also if you destroy ships / segments even better
- Fail missions / encounters, contractors get disapointed and report you
