* Interstellar Factors will not allow you to pay off fines or bounties unless your Notoriety is at zero. Notoriety will decay at the rate of one point per hour of game time. So whilst you have Notoriety, you’ll need to either store your hot ships, or fly wanted.<ref name=":0" />

Tip to find an Interstellar Factor

Interstellar factors only appear in systems with a low security rating. To find them, open the galaxy map, set the filter to "Security" and only keep "Low" security. Then move the minimal population counter up a bit to remove stars that do not have a starport. The remaining systems should have an interstellar factor.

These are upcoming changes with Elite Dangerous: Beyond.

These changes aim to simplify crimes. You will now have more control over your criminal status risk and reward. You can store a ship with bounties on (a hot ship), hiding your criminality, but at the cost of not using the ship. Bounties are now more significant as you must use Interstellar Factors to clear them, which can be expensive.[1]

  • Any Notoriety means the interstellar factors cannot clear your fines or bounties.[1]
  • Hot ships can be cleaned using Interstellar Factors, at a cost.[1]
  • Fines prevent access to all services except missions in progress, security contact, Interstellar Factors and black markets.[1]
  • Bounties prevent access to all services except missions in progress, Interstellar Factors and black markets.[1]
