This will go to the spoiler forum, and I'll email you to let you know. You have to find mutual enemies of the faction you wish to become loyal to. Example: to get in good with the Corsairs, shoot a ton of Red Hessions. Check your reputation status til it turns white (or green if you've really kicked butt). Go to one of their bases, and bribe a bartender to get into the "green". Use the "info" button when docked and highlight a faction that you wish to become friendly with, it'll show you who their enemies are. Remember, when you become friends with one faction, you'll be despised by others.... muahahahhahahahaha...... (((cough)))

If you have credits to burn, you can get a bribe straight away. There's a list of bribes on www.gamefaqs.com, but Freeports are always a good place to start. You can get a load of different bribes there. Also, you can sometimes pick up bribes on bases allied to that faction, eg I've seen an Outcast bribe on Buffalo Base, owned by the Rogues, their allies.

ok cool. One thing, what did you mean by 'when docked, press the info button'. i don't think i no wot ur on about here.

You can use the info button in space but last time i did that i hit a planet. The player info button on the top right hand corner of the screen shows you your level, worth, kills and relationships with other factions.

I dont take money only girl giggles- Thumb Wars

oh right, yea ive used that, havent hit a plnet tho lol. ive worked on making friends wiv sum1 and am now full green wiv spa and cruise guys. However, now im friends i dnt get any ova options ova than the fact they dnt blow u 2 pieces everytime they c u. Do ur allies not give u new ships and ask u to help wiv convoys when ur friends wiv em.

Nope, as random missions in freelancer is generally booring either you arrest somebody of their enemies

or you kill somebody, or you tractor in something, or destroy it, no escorts, no exploration, a few base destructions now and then, but thats it

and its not bases you can find on the nav map or dock to, theyre just created for the mission!
