Neutral Relationship question

Ok, I have a little problem (question)..
Say.. I am neutral with Junkers and Rogues. I went to Rogues base to buy some cardamine () and as soon as I left it, some Rogue bastid told me to drop cargo or die. I cancelled and they engaged me but what really sucks is that the base became hostile.. despite my neutral relationship. What gives?
The same thing happened with Junkers. Is this like "normal"? Will this base become friendly or neutral ever again? Tnanks.

You go into a local bar and buy a beer. As you leave the owner's Ahole son demands you give him the beer. You tell him to piss off and he takes a swing at you . You kick him in the balls and take off.

I would suggest NOT returning to the bar.

Or, return with a double guaged shot gun with full body armor...

---This statement is FALSE---

Almost exact same thing happened to me.. and I finally managed to get around it.. I was on my way to the base to delieve H-Fuel and they said drop it.. I didnt and kept going.. Well the base and everything around it went red.. I flew off and once i was out of range they turned white again.. Everything except the base.. So I couldnt figure it out.. I would return to the base and it would turn everything around it red against me.. I flee and it would just rinse and repeat.. The way I finally fixed this was a thought of trying to show them I was friendly.. So know what I did? I flew around the area of the base making sure NOT to have them red against me.. As soon as I found some Bounty Hunters I engaged and destroyed them.. (making sure some white rouges were near by with me) And Bam the base was now white to me again.. However I must say.. Norfolk turned red to me again.. lol

Immediately after completing the SP mode, I went to the Junkers base in sigma 13 to run artifacts to new berlin. They attacked me even though I was neutral to them. I didn't want to piss them off so I didn't return fire. After dropping off the artifacts and picking up some goods to take to the junkers, I couldn't land in the Junkers base because I was hostile (even though I never attacked them or anyone else while I was neutral. I loaded my game from New Berlin and decided to run diamonds to Tokyo instead. Lo and behold, when I passed the Junker base, it was neutral again even though I did nothing different. I guess it's just weird that way.

Hmmm...so hanging out with galactic low life's gets you stabbed in the back, shot at and mugged? Go figure.

Thanks for the suggestions. Re-loading my game didn't fix it because I saved shortly afterwards (the base was already red). I may have to try Zedri's suggestions. Thanks again.

If that ever happens just throw on cruise and get out of there. Go kill a few of their enemies and come back and all will be forgiven. You never have to drop your cargo, just cruise off if you don't want to fight them and lose rep with them. Then go kill some bounty hunters or something and go back.
