Hey y'all - I'm working on a portion of my mod which may have a nice spin-off mod. The point is to make it possible to choose who you want to be pals with at the start of the game. Basically, what I want to do is have the startup location at a base in a new system. There will be a new faction - the Freelancers Guild. They will be the only faction you start out good with - everyone else will be hostile. On the station, there will be bribes available to "liason" factions; e.g., if you bribe the Freelancer-House Faction Liasons, they will make your rep good with the naval and police forces, and keep you hostile with the criminals; bribing a criminal liason would do the opposite. I can do most of that, but here's a difficult feature I'd like to add: I'd like to make it so when you bribe a liason, it makes you neutral with the Freelancers Guild. Also, I'd like to make it possible to bribe a liason only if you are friendly with the Guild. Finally, I would make a really expensive bribe for the Guild that could serve as a bit of a "reset" for players later; in other words, if your reputation is screwed up, or you'd just like to join the criminals without having to go all over the place paying them off, you could just pay off the Guild and then pay of a Liason ($$$ allowing, of course).

All of that brings me to the question; does anybody know how I can make it where you can only bribe faction B if you're friendly with Faction A? It seems to go that way in the game sometimes, but I can't find documentation for how it works. Thanks for the help (and sorry for the ridiculously long post)!

I have become one with my computer. It is a feeling of ecstasy...the perfect blend of logic and emotion. I have reached...Nerdvana!
