How do I get the dromedary from the Lane Hackers?

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 do I get the dromedary from the Lane Hackers?

Even though I'm neutral for the Lane Hackers, the last time I tried to dock at Mactan Base, I was attacked and the Lane Hackers showed up hostile. How do I get them on my good side so I can buy their Dromedary freighter?

I read somewhere that I can bribe the Lane Hackers at Planet New London. I went to the bar and found someone from the Lane Hackers, but there was no bribe option. I re-loaded the game over 10 times and there was still no bribe option.

Please help.

kill xenos , lsf and liberty navy, its fun easy and will let you buy the dromendary

Or if you want to remain friendly with the Liberty forces, just kill Xenos
Alternatively, try Freeport 4 (also in Magellan). There are often a few bribes around...

Want a quick start on the rep?

See those depots near Mahanthan?

Blow up the gold one and the nearby box one. You can improve the rep with the hackers, make the Police like you less and give you some cash. ( Polymers ( gold one ) sells for 240 each at newark and hydrocarbon ( Box one) for bout 400 )

lane hackers are allied with outcasts, so if you're hostile to outcasts and you encounter them, mactan will turn red on you. to rectify this problem, kill liberty navy to become neutral with outcasts. (destroying police depots and other liberty ships also works)

Go hunting the Xenos up in the Colorado system: the LSF and LPI don't really bother with them, and the Lane Hackers, Outcasts, and Liberty Rogues all despise the Xenos.

You've got two choices from here on out: (1) make sure you've got a neutral rep with the Junkers, then fly to Rochester Station - just north of Planet Manhattan. You can usually find a person there to bribe your Outcast reputation. After that, just make sure to use the jump holes to reach Mactan Base.

(2) Make sure your rep with the Liberty Rogues is neutral, and fly to Buffalo Base. Take on a few missions with them ... DON'T bribe your rep with the Outcasts, since that will automatically make you an enemy of the various police agencies. When your reputation is better-than-average with the Outcasts, use the jumpgate to reach Mactan Base.

Hope this helps.

All you have to do, is to get a Junker bribe, that'll leave you with neutral reps with the criminals.

What i did was shoot the depots by planet new london to bring your police and navy rep down, then lane hackers will appear neutral, available to bribe then at mactan base. Additional navy kills will also help and this wont greatly put the police reps down.
