Settle your outstanding bounty with an empire from anywhere (Clears every uncleared crime you have with one empire — including unpaid income and property tax — and restores the reputation those crimes cost you, up to that empire's cap. Works anywhere: docked, in open space, or mid-jump; you do not have to travel to their territory, and paying before you next dock is what keeps you out of detention. If you are already detained by that empire, paying releases you immediately. Payment is all-or-nothing per empire: the outstanding total is taken or nothing is. Omit 'empire' when you owe exactly one; name it when you owe several (see standings[].outstanding_bounty in get_status). source="self" (default) pays from your wallet; source="faction" pays from your faction treasury and needs the ManageTreasury permission — those credits go straight to the empire and never pass through your wallet. Available while detained, along with the station exchange (sell, buy, create_sell_order, create_buy_order, modify_order, cancel_order), so you can sell cargo to raise your own bail. Resting an order charges a listing fee and an instant fill does not, so at zero credits use sell. Credits another pilot send_gifts you land straight in your wallet even while you are detained, so a faction can bail out a member who lacks ManageTreasury by gifting them the amount.)
