I went to jail in 2013, not long after I donated to the Kickstarter. I recently got out - hoping an old game like Star Citizen would still be playable. Found out it wasn't even released yet o_O.
May as well have stayed.
(JK kidding of course, congrats and hope you stay free and clear.)
For real? Is that by design? In elite jail is at least just an instantaneous transfer and an financial transaction, which is maybe one reason why the justice in elite doesn't really work.
Jail in the real world is also just a financial transaction. I was only in there for 8 years because I couldn't afford the fee to get out.
