Interstellar Factor
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.
- Interstellar Factors will no longer charge a premium to clear bounties and fines. At the end of the day, we felt that the disconnect between the amount shown in the cockpit interface and the cost at using the Interstellar Factors was confusing, especially now that they are the only way to pay off bounties.[1]
- 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.[1]
