DS points if you kill them, which is obvious, and LS points if you let them live, and more LS points if they were convicted felons, however they explain that...and the guy that your chasing after either surrenders or offers you more money than the bounty to let him go free...DS points for that if they are bad? Or LS points if they are actually good and just prosecuted against...and if you keep the captives in your ship, the bounty might go up, or it might go down...just a flip of a coin...
