Need help making friends with Corsairs

Wed Mar 12, 2003 1:07 pm by Naliworld

I don't know what to do! I've made friends with the Lane Hackers, Outcasts and Blood Dragons(with the Liberty Rogues, Golden C. in the positives, and Bundschuh in the negatives, but still friendly), so I'll be able to make Border World trade runs with my soon-to-be-purchased Dromedary(I'm currently using an Anubis), but every time I enter Bretonia space, I get whacked about by Corsairs. I can't imagine how irritating it would be with a freighter. Plus, I'm also planning of buying a Titan for the future, so might as well do it now.

Should I try to target the Mollys as much as possible(I tried going to their Dublin base, but it's riddled with mines and a pain to fight in. Or should I just camp outside Bretonia bases and wait for Molly ships to spawn?), attack some IMG bases, or sacrifice my relations with the Bretonia Police/Navy to improve my Corsair relations?

I don't need to be green with the Millitaries/Navies, but if it's possible, I'd like to keep them neutral. I don't mind being in the negatives(but not hostile) with the mining factions(includes Junkers, they don't seem to be that useful) as well. The Mollys, Farmer's Alliance, Xenos I can go hostile with with no problem. What are the Rheinland factions I should look for if I want to primarily be a pirate trader?

Are there any good Corsair bribing spots available? Where? I think I came across a Corsair bribe somewhere, but it was way out of my league(120,000+), so that's why I wanted to lower my hostillity with the Corsairs before trying to bribe them.

What do you guys suggest?

Personally, I'd run a few trade missions to afford the bribe. It's a lot faster than killing a bunch of bad guys, IMO. The place I bribed them was the Yanagi Junker base in sigma 13.

If you just kill some red hessians, no one wil like you less, thats how i became friends with the corsairs to buy the titan! (which kicks the droomedays ass)

Hm....Red Hessians? Sounds good. Could anyone give me the coordinates of their bases(system and grid number) so I can visit them and get what I need before going hostile.

They aren't that important, right(eg. do they appear very often in Rhineland and the Border Worlds)?

and do these missions affect your rep with any other factions other than the red hessians because aside from corsairs and xenos right now im neutral to the rest

Thu Mar 13, 2003 11:58 pm by SMASOrion
