As a captain: Will a crew member's former transgressions hurt my own reputation? If they don't commit a crime while a part of my crew (and no one else from my crew commits a crime), will bounty hunters still be allowed to attack my ship to collect an older bounty on one of my crew members?asked by Lythe
I think the way we'll run the bounty system is that it's associated more with the ship plus the owner of the ship. So I think if, say, you were a wanted criminal and you served as a crew as someone else's ship, you wouldn't alter the reputation as that ship. Of course if you were down on a planet and there were bounty hunters there they could sort of scan you and see that you're wanted and "tag" you, that's how I guess they could get on your trail. I don't think the crew members history really matters towards the ship's reputations, it's more the captain and the ship itself, if that makes sense.
