PETITION: Nerf NPCs

[atm999]

The way I understand that (and the way it works for my KNF ships/traders) if you are hostile to say Bowex NPCs in Liberty and Green to Liberty lawful bases, they won't turn hostile. But neutral bases will turn hostile and can in turn influence the green ones.

I disagree here. One of my character is green with GMG but hostile with Kusari corps. In Sigma 13, sitting right next to the GMG base (forgot the name) it goes instantly from green to red as soon as an NPC from Sumara, Kishiro, etc passes. One way to fix this is by changing the reputation of NPC factions to each other, but then they would no longer come to each other's aide when attacked. I'll leave it up to the devs (or the community if there's a strong bias) to choose which one they think is the lesser of two evils.

There's no really easy fix against this unless messing with a ton of things. So maybe don't be hostile to them on your Bowex? Yes you should be hostile to KNF/KSP, but there's nothing forcing you to be hostile to trading companies afaik.

I'm not sure if you're right, but even if you are, not everyone can become neutral like that. For example, the BD like the GMG, but don't like the GMG's allies.
