Killing Xenos does work, but Corsairs seem to be impressed by it the least. I spent about 2 hours killing Xenos, my Corsair rating moved a bit, but not a lot. Every one else was moved a lot more.

A bribe is one way - see the Rep Hack List Sticky
Killing Police is the other.

Kill the Mollies in Bretonia.

And when the Bretonian Police and their allies are in the green, bribe the Corsairs.

Freeport 1 and pay the toll.

hey,

i killed quite a few liberty and bretonia police and military, now the corsairs send me flowers on my birthday, easter baskets, christmas bonuses, etc etc.....

Try killing Red Hessians to get the Corsairs to like you.

Getting friendly with Corsairs ther r about a million ways 2 get them 2 like u
i will list a few
1.(this is how i became good buddies with them)Kill the bounty hunters wen ever u see them they have no allies so by killing them u wont get in trouble
2.Edit a game file
3.just bribe them

Who reads these any way

kill red hessians.
xenos is too hated by every1 else.
u gain a slight rep with almost every house corp & police etc which in turn affect corsairs rep by some also.
i was wondering if the effect might work like a tennis game...
meaning the effect keep bouncing to & fro between e.g corsairs & bret police until the rep like only gains 1cheese slice for the 2 fractions?

argh...

kill bounty hounters.
then when they hate you (and the corsairs like you), go killing xenos

best place for this is at colorado, since theyre using starfliers there

ahem. I know I just said this but it bears repeating: Kill Mollies

- Mollies have no allies
- Hessians and Bounty Hunters that appear in Corsairs systems are generally takes much longer to kill
- KIlling Bounty Hunters is a -bad- idea as they appear in almost all systems and even if you only get them to neutral, you don't want to risk getting them into the red when you start doing missions for the corsairs or otherwise piss them off inadvertantly.

Btw, I can't take credit for this, this was pointed out to me by Revrant.

Here's a little thing that I used to do: take missions at new berlin or any house/corporate base in Frankfurt. They will usually have 1 or more missions that have you killing Red Hessians. Now, because you are doing missions for the gov't or a corporation the Corsairs won't like that too much (let's give it a value...let's say --). However, because you are killing multiple hessians the corsairs will like that (let's say that get's a ++++++). Add those up and you still come out with a positive faction rating. Not only that, but you also get money for it too.

A little side note: Not sure if you folks have noticed this, but if you kill xenos by the boatload the zoners will slowly turn hostile towards you. At least, I think this is the case. It may not include the zoners in their allies list...but then again, there's also a lvl 10 freighter shield. In other words: there are gaps in the game. Cheers.

"A little side note: Not sure if you folks have noticed this, but if you kill xenos by the boatload the zoners will slowly turn hostile towards you."

Although the Zoners do not ally themselves with a faction, a lone freelancer who kills off their customers en masse doesn't do any good to their business. A zoner bribe will fix that.

That strange i killed boatlods if xenos and pretty much got 6 of the pirates neatrul got into a valkyrie and just floated by xenos base if a bounty hunter came to help i shot them too but i got the bount one square frm being hostile and the corsairs like me out if all the factions xenos and mollys dont like me just by killing Bountyhuntres and xenos the trick is to kill them till there almost hostile atlest it works for me

To improve your standing with any faction through killing other factions, you need to take into account the empathy value not whether the factions are allies. To get better with the Corsairs, the following are the factions with empathy value lower than -.2 you need to aim for, ordered by their empathy value (the lower the more the Corsairs hate them). I also denoted in parentheses which other factions you will piss off by killing that faction. Naturally, the faction you killed you will piss off the most (empathy +1).
