Allie or neutral with 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 become allie or at least neutral with the lane hackers, so I can land on Mactan Base in the Magellan system?

head to the hudson system and nail every xeno you see.. (without a mission from liberty or anyone else) It might incur some repair costs, but the hackers will like you in no time. So will everyone else
good luck

Is there another way? Im having some problems getting to the Hudson system. :-)

Ok, im there, but how many xenos should I kill before the lane hackers "likes" me? Dosen't seem to happen anything to me. :/

Get a decent ship, with decent shields (an eagle or a hammerhead) so you won't have to repair much and using the tractor beam, you ll get enough shields, nanobots so you won t have to dock to repair.

You can look for a bribe...Freeports are famous for offering those types.

I got neutral with the hackers, xenos, dragons, corsairs, rogues, and just about everyone except the mollies in one quick swipe.

Hokkaido, its a system very fart to the north, farther north then New Tokyo. Its the most northern system in the japenese cluster, that system has a buncha unmade jumpgates, and next to each one is a supply depot, ungaurded, out in the open, no one ever near them. Their full of machinery parts that sell for $700 in that system, at the jumpgate thats under construction at the north part of that sector. get a freighter, blow them all up, go sell them all. their all factioned to DSE, DSE now hates me, but everyone else but Mollys is neutral or friendly. DSE isnt seen that often in my experiance anyways, so this seems like a good plan. Knocking them all out will make DSE hate you, all the bad people will go neutral. (plus you make over 200k in profits from this).

DSE is centered in the New York System from what ive seen, so you'll get trouble in tehre, but everywhere else is fine, and since new york stuff is all very weak and low, it isnt hard to just stroll right by, i was doing this all in a weak ship too.

bobmp3: i found many unfinished jumpgates , a jumpgate construction site, but i ve no idea about where you find these depots. Are they marked on the map ?

EDIT i found them near sapporo station

Post Tue Feb 25, 2003 5:49 pm

their next to a whole bunch of them, 4 or 5 depot set total, that actual big jumpgate construct place you can dock at buys the stuff thats in them for 700, alot more then anyone else

Look for their allies, and bribe your way there. If you get a chance too, ally with the Liberty Rogues, and you'll be neutral with the Hackers and Junkers.

bobmp3: the only problem is the base you're talking about is DSE aswell and hates me...but I can go to New Tokyo to sell them...the main part is the faction

Post Wed Feb 26, 2003 5:52 am

The xenos thing does take a while but it's the surest way to gurantee the rest of your rep isn't negatively effected. In addition the freeports, the junkers base beaumont in texas is a good place for bribing as well, that's where I did it in MP. In SP just wait for the plot to make the lane hackers neutral, land on mactan and bribe the outcasts..that will make you pirate friends everywhere except the corsairs and mollys, but the mollys aren't too tough and the corairs can be avoided.

Are the bribes random at the freeports? I'm looking for a hacker bribe. I was told that there was one in Keplar, haven't had the change to make the trek yet, and then someone told me it wasn't there... Anyone got good info on a Hacker bribe? Or should I give up and just go Xeno hunting?
