Junkers and Bounty Hunters

[Hawk]

Thanks AD, we'll see how the update affects this.

Junkers are not automatically hostile to BHG. What ends up happening is that while people are repping their Junker characters in Liberty the Junker missions are against either the Xenos or the BHG. Some people only take the Xeno missions. Some get frustrated when it's hard to get the Xeno missions to come up and they take the BHG missions. Some just don't put that much thought into it and take whatever mission improves their Junker rep. In the past we could just fly down to Freeport 2 and get a BHG bribe. That has also been harder to find. There are ways to fix this on our end though through repping and I'm going to start suggesting to Junkers that they do that.

On a related note, it seems like Beaumont only offers missions against BHG. I'm thinking Thunder Bay should have lots of Xeno missions though? If so, perhaps we should encourage Junkers to just mission there?

Beaumont (thats the Texas base, right?) has plenty of Xeno missions. Thats how I repped most of the Junker ships I had. Also in 4.86.

I must be exceptionally unlucky then as I only ran across BHG ones. Which wouldn't be the first time luck was messing with me.

Beaumont has Xeno missions, but they come up slower after you've done a few. This is why so many people resort to BHG missions. Thunder Bay used to be THE place for Xeno missions and it may still be, but I haven't been able to get a missions at all out of it in the past few days. I may have been trying at the wrong time of day.

My opinion, your rep should match your junker playstyle. If you are a lawful junker, you should be positive or at least neutral rep with law enforcement. If you are a junker that pirates in the independent systems then your rep should be hostile. I believe this reflects rule play as well as role play.

There is no "lawful" or "unlawful" junkers. Junkers will help out both sides for money. So Rep could be green to all, as you do not go around yelling your helping 1 side or the other.
For example. I have a Junker Fighter in NY that hates all things not Liberty. So he has helped Lawfuls(after asking if they needed help) against Pirates/outcasts, and a few others not from Liberty. BUT! he still helps Rogues, and hackers as they are from Liberty. Just not infront of the lawfuls. As such he is green to all Liberty groups both lawful,and unlawful. Hell he has even helped a xenos fend off 2 Rheinlanders(ofcourse we both vowed to kill each other next time).
So if your junker has no issue with BHs? then go green/grey after all it makes life alot easier when entire battle groups do not start firing just because 1 ship pops out of a TL near you.

Don't worry about missions - I got you guys covered on that one as well. Practically all bases will have worthwhile missions come update 4. Up to outright nasty ones.:)

That's good to know, when I looked earlier all the anti-Xeno missions weren't in Texas, which is specifically what I had been looking for. Could just be bad luck, but in any case, it seems to be a moot point now.

That's good news! PVE might as well be a part of Disco. Will there be more capship missions for various factions like the "kill 4-12 ossies" OC ones in Eta?
