Most of the fields in the example above are self-explanatory, but a few
of them needs clarifying.

Type:

This is one of:
Security (military and police), corporations, criminals,
scavengers (Hogosha and Junkers), pirates (Corsairs and Outcasts),
or Independent Organization (IMG, GMG, Bounty Hunters, Zoners).
I found that by classifying them like this, I save myself a ton of typing!

HQ: Where the faction's organizational HQ. In most cases, the game
itself gives that info right out in base descriptions, rumors, etc.
However, in some cases, like for the Zoners, I had to make an educated
guess. I picked Freeport 1 because that was the first base opened by Zoners
in the Sirius Sector (this is an admittedly shaky basis!). This field is
really for my own role-playing purposes, so feel free to ignore it if you
feel it's totally wrong.

Now for the part that is most related to faction reputations (taken from
initialworld.ini):

Allies/Friendly/Unfriendly/Enemies: Self-explanatory, but for the fact that
the information listed in-game does not necessarily reflect the true state
of things found in game files! Even worse, the information listed only gives
you Allies and Enemies...but not Friendlies and Unfriendlies! To appreciate
the differences, I'll go through each four step by step.

Allies: Those that are totally friendly to this faction. For example, at
the start of the game, you are totally friendly with the LSF.

Friendly: Those that are not neutral or hostile towards this faction, but
are not allies. A good example of this would be the attitude of
many Liberty corporations towards you at the start of the game.
They are "green" with you, but not all the way "green" like the
LSF. Note that this information is usually *NOT* listed in the
game. Most of these "friendlies" are pretty logical if you think
about it and you have been "alert" (i.e. you actually pay *CLOSE*
attention to the news reports and rumors found in the game -- which
I admit very few of us do). Nonetheless, the list of friendlies
might contain a few surprises -- either because an unexpected faction
is on the friendlies list, or else a faction that you expect to
be there turns out to be absent!

Unfriendly: Those that are not hostile towards this faction, but definitely
don't like it. An example of this would the the attitude of
the Junkers towards you at the beginning of the game. This
setting mainly determines whether or not a criminal faction
would shoot at this faction on sight. If they are enemies, it
will be shoot on sight. If only unfriendly, they will make a
demand to drop cargo first (if any is being carried). This applies
to you too, btw....if you are carrying cargo through territories
being held by a criminal faction unfriendly towards you, it won't
shoot you on sight, but it might ask you to drop your cargo. As
with the Friendlies, this information is not available in-game,
but you can make pretty logical guesses...

Enemies: Those that would shoot members of this faction on sight. An example
of this relationship would be the hatred that the Liberty Rogues
have for you at the beginning of the game.

If a faction is not listed under any of the four categories above, then it is
truly neutral towards that faction. An example of this would be the attitude
of Synth Foods, Inc. towards you at the very beginning of the game. Aside
from the missing in-game info, still pretty standard stuff...

Refering back to the Zoners, we see that they have no allies or enemies,
as stated by the information we find in-game. We also see that no one
is unfriendly towards them. However, we see that they are friendly towards
Synth Foods and the IMG. This is unexpected, but not surprising if you
consider the Zoners' reliance on Synth Food biodomes and their philosophical
similiarities with the IMG. As an aside, if one faction holds a certain
attitude towards another faction, you'll find that the "feeling is mutual"
in the other faction's list.

Here's where faction rep gets really interesting, the information from
empathy.ini:

Sympathy: Factions whose opinion of you will improve if you do good things for
this factions. Conversely, if you do bad things to this faction,
then the factions on the sympathy list will start to hate you more.
However, not all factions are equal...doing good things to this
faction may make factions A and B like you more....but maybe a lot
more for faction A, and only a little bit more for faction B. The
exact factor are found in empathy.ini, so refer to that if you
really want to get the nitty-gritty details.

Antipathy: The exact opposite of sympathy

Again, if a faction is not listed under either category, then they are truly
neutral. As an example, notice that the Liberty Navy is not on either list.
Therefore, if you keep on blasting Zoners to kingdom come, the Liberty Navy
will not care one bit or change their opinion of you. Conversely, you won't
earn brownie points with the Liberty Navy either if you keep on helping the
Zoners. And again, if one faction is holds a certain empathy towards
another faction, you will find that the same feeling is returned by the
other faction, and with the same weight (i.e. the corresponding numbers in
empathy.ini are the same).

Speaking of the Zoners, notice that no one really hates them (i.e. on the
antipathy list), which makes sense. They have the sympathy of all the
Independent Organizations, which are the IMG, the GMG, and the Bounty
Hunter's Guild. This is not too surprising, since they share similar
philosophical thoughts to the IMG and GMG, and there is one rumor found
in-game that a lot of potential Zoners would end up not joining the Zoners,
but become Bounty Hunters instead. What's surprising, though, is the fact
that they have the sympathy of the Unioners, the Lane Hackers, and
especially the Xenos!! And if we look at the Xenos, we find that the
Xenos have the sympathy of the Zoners. In fact, if we look at the numbers
carefully, we find that the Xenos have the top numbers for sympathy with
the Zoners, and we also find that the reverse is true! This explains why
some of you have been finding your Zoners' reputation dropping when you
slaughter Xenos to try to improve your reputation. Note that the same
thing happens when you kill Bounty Hunters, but to a lesser degree, since
their "number" found in empathy.ini is 3 times smaller than the Xenos'
number.

Edit: I can tolerate minor spelling and grammatical errors, but some were
far from minor...

Ok, here's the listing.

(Note: when I list "Civilian Standard" under armaments, I mean that the
faction uses laser weapons and have graviton shields...yes, I know the
freighters do carry different shield types, but I didn't want to get that
detailed. )

Notes: There are conflicting in-game information as to current location of
Bowex's HQ -- There is no question that Glasglow Outpost did serve as the
corporate HQ, but is it still the corporate HQ, or has it been moved to Planet New
London? To be "safe", I've decided that Bowex is currently "transitioning" their
HQ, so for now, Glasglow Outpost still remains as their official corporate HQ,
hence the "best guess"
"Proper" name of corporation is now Bowex Shipping Company, but NPCs still use the old Borderworld Exports name

Ok, that's it! I hope this list helps some of you out there.

Cheers,

Edit: fixed up "LWB" and forum auto-emoticon collision (oops)

I think they count as "Pirates"

Good stuff,...

If a mod could put all names in front,... make that links to the explanations below, that would be great for searching speed!

Very neat. Two things

1) The Notes: field for Bowex runs too long, and that breaks some html

2) Some companies have Liberty Rogues listed as merely 'unfriendly'. However, I'm pretty sure they attack on sight.

3) Ageira doesn' t have Xenos listed as an enemy (unless they're lumped in with Criminals)

---

Thanks for the comments...and isn't that 3 things, btw?

Anyway, to answer your questions:

1) Sorry about that...that was a direct ASCII text file dump. I've fixed it now.
Thanks

2) I'm just going by the values found in initialworld.ini....but if you think about
it makes sense that the Liberty Rogues would be "unfriendly" to most
corporations, since the in-game description for the Rogues state that they are
not-too-bright opportunists...in other words, their primary motivation is to rob,
not necessarily to destroy. Hence, you'd expect them to demand a cargo drop
first before escalating the level of hostility.

Having said that, I'll admit that it does seem like that the Rogues (and other
similar factions) attack on sight. This is because NPC factions reply to the
demand for cargo much quicker than we humans can. If you pay attention to
the radio chatter closely enough, you can hear the victim's response almost right
after the Rogues' demand...and if the victim reponse negatively to the Rogues'
demand, then a firefight ensures. It just seems immediate to us because the
response time for NPC are so quick.

3) Yes, Xenos are classified as "Liberty Criminal" under my system...I'm starting
to think I'll have to post a follow-up to clarify my classification system.

-- The Haen.

Edit: Still having trouble getting used to the line breaks concept.

Edited by - Haenlomal on 01-04-2003 17:48:51

First of all, thanks for all your response, especially considering that this
is my first posting.

Now, there seems to be some confusion as to which faction belongs
to what type under my system, so I'm going to clarify that once and
for all.

A disclaimer: These classifications are purely subjective categorizations
made by ME. I personally found it helpful to think of them is this way.
You may find other classifications more useful for you, so feel free to
do your own re-classification if you think it would help you more.

(Hopefully, this will forestall questions like: "Why did you place faction
X under category Y when it should clearly be in category Z?"

Hope this clears any confusion.

-- The Haen.

Fabulous work, Haen! I've been waiting for something like that, myself, for a while now, as looking up empathy.ini really is too tedious.

Anyway, would you consider doing a reputation calculator? I'm thinking of a little program that would tell you what effects on relataions to other factions it has if you e.g. shoot a zoner ship, do a junkers mission, bribe the br police to like you. I believe it should be possible doing something like this with just the data from empathy.ini

I don't think I know how the numbers in empathy.ini work together well enough
to be able to make a calculator. Even then, I don't know if I'd have the time.

Besides, I'm working on something else right now....

-- The Haen.

Suggestion noted and stickied, nice work Haenlomal.




I don't really run this place but I have an understanding with the people who do.

I'm cleaning this up a bit and closing because this will stand on it own accord. Nice work Haenlomal.
