How can I become a Bounty Hunter?

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!

How can I become a Bounty Hunter?

In Multiplayer, you start the game with "Navy" in your name. You are allied with them, and Friendly, Neutral, Enemy, etc with others. The game is described as being able to choose your destiny. I've removed the "Navy" from my name with a couple attacks on Liberty Navy. I've now done over 120 missions for the Bounty Hunters especially from Sheffield and Deshima stations. I almost only exclusively do Bounty Hunter missions. I have flown a Hammerhead for the last 15 levels. Iam L38 and STILL cannot fill up my rep bar with the Bounty Hunters to get their designation put in my name where Navy was when I started. I have found nothing explaining how to do this.

What am I doing wrong? Is this impossible? If so, WHY!?

Some say its possible but most agree it's not. I've only ever see people with Navy with their nicks online, but that's only until they piss off the Navy enough.

You don't. It's better that way, trust me...
If you become a Bounty Hunter then You =
Else You =
End If


Careful what you wish... You might just get it.

btw u don't need to fly the same kind of ships they do.... i'm not sure whats by my name... i haven't gotten any1 to tell me.. well anyway i'm sure i'm not GMG because i fly and eagle when i have 5 pirate grps and zoners as full on the rep bar as i can get them. i just hope i'm not a xeno..

Courage isn't the ability to fly head on into the jaws of death with an arrogant smile. Its the ability to run away from a couple of Xenos and face the laughter.

to get proper rep i asume u must be alied with all of their allies and hostile with all of thie enimies

think about it u hostile with the primary libery pirates an allied with all of liberys allies or neutall so thats y u have navey by yer name if u were to be allied with outcasts for example u msut be allied witht heir allies and enimies witht heir enimies

well thats my theory neways

Original poster here again: from what you've all said, it appears no one really knows. Anyone know how to go about asking Microsoft support about this? I've looked all over their site, and don't see a "convenient" (read: "free" way to ask the question?
