Nose to the grindstone, or is it elbow?

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!

Nose to the grindstone, or is it elbow?

Sorry, this is another money making question. I am starting to feel like this game is my real life. Not that I'm playing it too much, but that I am really struggling from paycheck to paycheck. I am currently lvl 10 maybe, I went back to a past save so I might be 8 or 9, not sure. Trying to make some money before I meet up with Dexter Hovis. I'm in Bretonia and it seems everybody hates me. Any suggestions would be appreciated. OH, I am currently flying a Clydesdale. And I have about $7,000. Boy that Humpback seems a long ways away.

Ok an easy way to make money around lvl 10 is in the leeds system
Start at "Stokes Mining Station" Fly to "Glasgow Outpost" here you load "Pharmaceuticals priced at 255" these you fly to "Holman Outpost and sell for 400" in "Tau31", at "Holman Outpost you load Niobium priced at 320" the Niobium you sell at "Stokes Mining Station in Leeds" for 640.

Hope this helps as it's an easy way to make money in a short time because there isn't that many jumps involved.

In short terms:
Pharmaceuticals form Glasgow Outpost, Leeds -> Holman Outpost, Tau31
Niobium From Holman Outpost, Tau31 -> Stokes Mining Station, Leeds

"Pharmaceuticals form Glasgow Outpost, Leeds -> Holman Outpost, Tau31
Niobium From Holman Outpost, Tau31 -> Stokes Mining Station, Lee"

I don't have any of these places on my map.
How do I get them on my map?
I guess I'm missing something pretty basic somewhere along the line.

Well it depends on what lvl you are you have to have access to the Bretonia System to use the traderoute, IIRC you get to the Bretonia System around lvl 8-10 other than that I can only advice you to check one of the online maps or installing FL Datastorm.

I think that my biggest problem is my rep. Is there any way to fix this without paying bribes. I can't afford them and most bases are inaccessable without being on friendly terms with many.

To change your reputation without paying bribes is tricky. You have to open the empathy.ini file and delete all the minuses. Then shoot people to become your friends. This is basic information, I don't know a lot about hacking, so head over to the editing forum and they might have something lined up for you.

just kill the enemies of your enemies for them becoming friendlier.

kill mollies in dublin system to get friendlier with most bretonian factions.
