I remember when Elite Dangerous was still in beta, there was a bug where System Authority Vessels would label you a criminal upon attacking verified out-of-system bounties on the victim and attack you. So many players thought that was intended, like there was a βcorrupt copβ system in the game until it was actually fixed. π€¦ββοΈ
I really liked the idea that could be a possibility; unfortunately the fact that firing back at the βcorruptβ cops just increased your bounty, which is what showed me that it wasnβt intended.
