The file you are looking for is mpnewcharacter.fl in the EXE folder. It will not be processable at first so you'll have to right click -> open with, and open it with word pad or notepad, whichever.

Then you see:

rep = 0.91, li_n_grp

and every other faction in the game

Hope this answers your question.

Ah, I seem to remember something like that was mentioned before.

I totally forgot about that file, thanks for the info!

house = 0.9, li_n_grp

house = 0.9, ku_n_grp
house = 0.9, ku_p_grp
house = 0.9, rh_n_grp
house = 0.9, rh_p_grp
house = 0.9, co_alg_grp
house = 0.9, co_be_grp
house = 0.9, br_m_grp
house = 0.9, co_nws_grp
house = 0.9, co_hsp_grp
house = 0.9, co_ic_grp

house = 0.9, fc_f_grp
house = 0.9, gd_im_grp
house = 0.9, gd_z_grp
house = 0.9, gd_bh_grp

Inside the newcharacter.ini is:

[Faction
nickname = new_player
rep_group = co_ic_grp
base = Li01_01_Base
Package = ge_fighter
Pilot = trent


Which one do I edit and how?

I tried both and nothing works.

ahoy, do a search of the editing tutorial forum using "MP Starting Money/Base"
as the title, This will bring you to a tutorial by Victor which will answer all your questions, but in brief the lines in mpnewcharacter.ini:
house = 0.9, li_n_grp etc are ur starting reps in MP, (this one is for the liberty navy)

you have them all set to 0.9 which should mean u are v friendly with them, this is not std btw so u must have a mod installed if u have not changed these already to this earlier
the values can run from -1.0 to 1.0

The FL file is the one you need, change the number as the person who posted before me just said: -0.91 - 0.91. You, of course, have to find those factions in game before they show up on your faction list.

Now wanting all the factions to be on your list when you make a new character is a different matter.
