But you could try to buy the Sabre from the Hessians, too. It's the same ship.

schweet! thanx a bunch! regarding the Hessians, ive also got horrible rep with em =P.

The Hessians? Well I'll be! And I just bribed my way into their good graces so My trade route would be safe.

I am telling you there is a lot more to this game than meets the eye eh?

Thanks!

It is not at all difficult to improve your rep with the Outcasts. All you have to do is go to any of the major systems and just start attacking police convoys out and about. This works best when you are already on VERY good terms with one of them. Your rep with them may fall out of the green, but till still be well above zero. Your rep with the Outcasts will climb proportionately. It doesn't take too many such attacks to put your rep with them above the red, which is all you need to land on Malta and buy the ship. Once you have the ship you can go back and take missions until your rep is built back up with whatever police force you'd been attacking.
