Need a solution to a bug in FL -> stuck as hell!

Need a solution to a bug in FL -> stuck as hell!

The problem: If you get friendly with criminal factions too early in the game, you'll get stuck at mission 7.

I got a good rep. with the Junkers/Rougues/Outlaws way at the beginning of the game. The problem is that the "Samura Industries" will get hostile with you fairly quick if you get friendly with criminals. At first I didn't think of this as any problem.

Now I'm stuck at Mission 7, where you're supposed to dock with a Samura station in Tau-23 (Shinkaku). Normally, the game ignores any "hostile" flags for mission critical stations/docking rings, so you're still able to dock if your rep. is bad. It doesn't do this with the Shinkaku station however (caused to a lack of scripting for this station).

Now I need help. And there are 2 solutions:
- a change to the empathy.ini file, so that my rep. goes up for Samura Industries (and ONLY Samura Industries, I don't want my entire game f*cked up) when I shoot the Rheinlanders(sp?) prior to going to Tau-23
- scripting so I can still dock hostile stations

I realise the first is (by far) the fastest way of "saving" my game.
If you've got some time on your hands, plz help me out, as I don't wanna reload a six day old save game/bribe some-one with all the cash I've got, just to get past this "bug".

-> I've been trying to get this to work for the last 8 hours. Since I own the game only for a week and a half, I've been taking a "crash course" into changing those FL files, but I wanna finish the game/learn as much as possible about it prior to getting further into modding it.

Ok, download the save game decrypter from the Reactor, then decrypt the appropriate save game (probably autosave). Open it in notepad, then seach for co_shi_grp. You should find a number like -0.xxxxx. Take the - sign out and they should be exactly opposite of how they feel towards you the next time you open the game (ie, all red to all green). Hope this helps.
