How to get cosy with the Bundschuh

Sun Mar 30, 2003 9:18 pm by Forceflow

Hi folks.

I finished the SP Campaign a while ago and set myself the task to get the most powerful ship possible. I am pretty much done with this task besides one tiny little thing. Since I do not know whether or not the info of what it actually is might be considered a spoiler I wont tell you what it is, but I guess most know anyways.
So, when I started my 'getting friendly with the Bundschuh' Mission they were WAY in the red. (And I mean all the way) I was able to get them to neutral, though just barely. (And in the process getting Rheinland police from friendly to barely neutral) So I finally get to dock with their stations just to find out they not only wont sell me what I want (not a surprise there) but also wont give me missions, thus getting friendlier was kinda not possible.
I couldn't get anyone to bribe (and I believe that far on the 'bad' side you can't actually bribe) so I checked the enemy list again and found the GMG. Since I was all in the green with them I though to hop over to them and do some killing. After about 20 Minutes of non-stop fighting I check my neural net only to find that while I did get friendlier with the Outcast I actually got into the red with the Bundschuh again.
So I am lost, what do I do? Generally what is the best way to get friendly with someone who doesn't have any friends but pretty much hates everybody.

I gave up on that and just bribed somebody to make 'em like me.

Yeah, I just bribe people when I need to get friendly too. If I can find someone that is... You can certainly bribe to get in w/someone who is in the red w/you. I was unfriendly w/Corsairs (not sure how much, but they all wanted to kill me) and I found a bribe and practically jumped out of my chair to dance around! It put them into the green (but just barely). They'd sell me almost everything, but not their lvl 9 salamancas...

Hey Force, good to see you from XWAU!

P.S. I just bribed someone, I think I went to one of the freeports, since the zoners will usually be most likely to bribe for anyone.

There are only 10 kinds of people in the world:
those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Cool, didn't know you could bribe no matter how bad it was. Never found one when I needed one. So, anybody know a place where I can bribe for the Bundschuh?

Like I said, you could probably try one of the Freeports in Rheinland, you're most likely to find fixers there. Alternatively, just keep visiting different Rheinland bars, and eventually you'll find the fixer you need.

There is a sticky thread in the spoiler forum that has a list of where there are bribes for certain factions. It isnt' comprehensive, though, and every bribe won't be there every time, so you may still have to look for it a little. And I think that's all I can tell you, since this is not the spoiler forum

Bribing the Bundschuh can be a pain - that list of bribes has the minor problem that it doesn't list what faction is offering the bribe. There may be someone on that base offering the bribe, but if you aren't at least neutral with them, no dice.

The easiest way to bribe the Bundschuh is to talk with the Zoner on Planet Hamburg, as that's the only non-criminal that will offer the bribe. If you're at least neutral with the Junkers, there's one on Gas Miner Naha, and Planet New Berlin, I believe.

If you have a lot of time on your hands, the Bundschuh are actually friendly with the GMG, so doing missions for the GMG helps all around. This is excruciatingly slow, however, and you're better off just bribing. If you insist on blasting someone, the Rheinland Military is the best, followe by the Rheinland Police. Blasting Rogues, Hackers, Hogosha, or Xenos works too, but the returns are abysmal.

You have to get back to dead neutral to buy what I'd assume you're looking for.

Peace,

I did a favor for somebody the other day...turns out I was neutral with the Bundschuh. Somebody wanted a Sunslayer BAD, and was willing to pay up.

The bartender there will offer to hack their own computers every few times you visit, so if you're not an enemy, you're in easily.

Made me 500k. Unfortunately, like ALL THE GODDAMNED SERVERS, that server seems to have washed away in only 24 hours.

I don't have unlimited time. IT IS BAD ENOUGH that the servers crash every other hour. How the hell am I supposed to enjoy the fruits if the servers keep dropping?
