Faction Neutrality ???

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

Faction Neutrality ???

Has anyone managed to be neutral/friendly, or at least not KOS, with all factions?

I am able to placate the Red Hessians, Corsairs, and Bounty Hunters through spreading around space somolians at FreePort 9, but I'm listed as KOS with Mollys (big wow), Liberty Rogues (double wow), Unioners, as well as 'good guys' Republican Shipping and Daumann Heavy Construction. This reputation allows free rein in the 'peripheral worlds', but I can no longer go into Rhineland, which makes sense due to the above good guys hating me. Despite no one in Bretonia that I am KOS with, I can't enter Bretonia space without every cop, merchant, and his uncle trying to blow me to dust. I have 175 units of engine parts from New Tokyo (they tolerate me fine) with no where to go to make a profit. I don't understand why Bretonia is hostile; anyone have a clue?

Is this another faction bug? I haven't tried Liberty Sector, yet.

I'm trying the following:

I shoot alot of Bounty Hunters. Currently I'm neutral to all factions in Liberty (except BH). I will keep doing this in Bretonia and delay the story line. Then I will buy a new ship. Theoretically this should give me friendly/neutral status to all faction that occur in Bretonia. I will know if this works soon :-)

Yes..I have no hostile factions right now..
actually it is quit simple..in each house do jobs for good people until they and their alliance are very friendly to you..then go blow their storage depots until pirates in that area are not so hostile to you while good people become neutral..

And some carefully planned bribe and missions... my factions looks quite good after the combination of these two methods. No hostile and a lot of alliance..
but it is very wierd that my best friends is Red Hessian.. I never do jobs or bribe them before..and I never shot down a single corsair ship....

There are a couple posts in this forum that have screenshots of ppl with neutral faction. But remember that having a neutral faction with a pirate type will still leave you open to a shake down.

Sorry..didn't read your probelm carefully..
when entering an area..if any faction is hostile to you..all of their alliances will turn hostile to you, too. The only way to solve this is to be friendly/neutral to all of good people in the area you are about to enter. Including all companies. One way to do this is to kill their enemies.. bribeing is another way..but you need to know where to find the right person.

Bounty Hunters are listed to be allied with the local authorities. But when I enter space, populated with BH and police/navy forces, the military doesn't turn hostile. At least at the moment.

actually..there is a range..I guess its 5 km..
if BH's allilance see them shooting at you within 5km range..or even just seeing you and BH in 5km..then they turn crazy then start shooting at you..
at least that's what happend to me..
maybe there are some other factors..but I haven't figure them out..
