enforce docking directives does not work

Post by deon_de_ruijter »

I have switched the option, enforce docking directives, on.
You should now pay a fine when you exit the station through the wrong gate.
But not for me.
I don't get the notification that money was transferred for leaving in the wrong direction.
I don't understand why this does not work for me.
I have the latest version of the game.
Does anyone of you know why this does not work?
I have watched a video, and for that person in just worked.

You're probably not wealthy enough yet in the game for the fines to be charged. Once you've reached a sufficient credit level ($1M), the fines will be applied.

The thing is, only 5000 credits are transferred.
So you shouldn't need a million.
I have 100.000 credits so it should just transfer 5000.
I can't understand this.
Why doesn't this work for me?

The game intentionally does not punish new players early on by forcing them to lose 5% of their entire wealth level the first time they might run into the docking fine (in your example, 5K of the 100K owned). So again, a minimum threshold of $1-million is the level for the fines to start applying. Since you only have 100K, you won't encounter the fine until you reach the minimum.

That can certainly be changed though and even made variable, which might be an option for the next update. $5K could apply for every $1-million in credits the player has and it could scale down to a lower level the less they have.
