Faction Relations messed up

Fri Apr 04, 2003 5:12 pm by Sabredog

Has anyone found that all of a sudden neutral or friendly factions will suddenly turn hostile?

For example, I'm neutral to slightly friendly with Liberty and I was on the tradelane from West Point to Manhattan. When I arrived at Manhattan everyone was hostile, including the docking ring and the trade lanes. Even the one I'd just transited.

I am running a totally stock version of FL, no mods at all. I would like to clear up the problem but I've found now that even leaving West Point everyone piles on until I'm dead.

Is there a way to make my relations match what the factions do to me?

Thanks,

Dog

Other than the scripted faction changes in story line, they should not change unless you are caught smuggling or something along that lines. However there was a previous post from someone who has had this same problem. Not sure what the poster did to correct it, if you can find it and contact him, might help.

When you enter an area with ships from multiple factions, the allies of those specific one(s) that are hostile to you will also turn hostile. In effect, that means that to get to Manhattan and dock you not only need to be friendly with the faction controlling the planet (LPI) but also with all of their allies.

Check your reputation with the Navy; Interspace; Border World Exports; Cryer; Ageira; Gateway shipping; and other shipping companies. Those are some of the factions you might see around Manhattan. If any of them are hostile, the entire region will also turn hostile. If it does, you may have to leave the system for a while for things to calm down, or it will remain hostile.

Even if a faction is ALMOST red but still appears white, there's a chance they'll turn hostile and attack you if you hang around them too much.

Zaratomb: Thanks, I'll check for the post.

Run: I'm marginal with most and red with some. So I've got to think of a way to get out of town with my skin intact.

Thanks,

It takes time, but there's a sure-fire way to fix your rep problems, especially with Liberty factions.

Go to Colorado, and in the asteroid field between the New York jumpgate and Pueblo Station, about 15K west of the trade lane, there's a Xeno base (Ouray). Go over there and blast Xenos for about 30 minutes and the LPI, Navy, LSF, Republican, Ageira, Rogues, Outcasts, Lane Hackers, DSE, and most of the other factions I can think of should be in the white, if not in the green.

Check your rep with the Zoners periodically and bribe them before they get to red (they don't appreciate you killing Xenos).

On a MP server I play I've killed so many Xenos that out of like 30 or 40 factions, only 2 are hostile: the Xenos (duh) and the Bundschuh. I can basically go almost anywhere without being bothered.
