+Will fine the target on the next docking in the current system. The value of the fine is always 50 or 100, multiplied by the target's [[Oolite_JavaScript_Reference:_Player#legalStatus|legal status]] on docking.
 Dealing out multiple fines has no extra effect.
 On paying the fine, the ships legal status is cleared and the system clock advances a day. The amount to be fined is cleared after the ship enters a new system.
