In the newspost today for the Itani top bounties, it says only Straka has one, but when i talk to the marshal, I get this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**Marshal Illis Ott* Here are the top bounties for the Itani Nation...
spucks dead hamster has 1 bounty totaling 412000 credits.
Sarkus Sark has 1 bounty totaling 228997 credits.

Bonzai Bomber has 1 bounty totaling 369606 credits.

I can also tell you if a specific pilot has a bounty if you give me their name. [bounty <name>]

Which looks like something older...

The News Post displays bounties that have been online within the past 24 hours but the Marshall tells you all bounties. That's the cause of the discrepancy.
As a note, only up to the top 10 bounties are given in both the news post and by the Marshall.

What does it use to determine the top 10 though? It doesn't look like it's based on the price on their heads. Since that top 10 list the marshall spits out is has so much old stuff on it and characters that haven't been logged on in years, it's really not very useful.

Hmm, good question.
The Marshall sorts based on number of bounties on their head. It doesn't use a secondary sort key.
The news post does not sort at all.
Then the first 10 of the list are displayed.

Definitely not optimal.

The latest update changes this a little and uses the bounty price as a secondary sort key and filters out players who haven't logged in for about a year.

Cool, thanks for fixing it.
