Joining hostiles

[cmfalconer]

Hanshin, you have an incredibly hostile attitude toward the very people who are answering your questions. So let me answer your questions again and maybe you'll pay attention this time around.

First off, good to see you wanting to RP with people, and getting into a faction that "has the Raven Claw" doesn't cut it. You'll never get into Nomads, Wilde, Phantoms or (and I can say this with great authority) the Coalition. All four of these factions have admin-given reps that you can't get by flying around Sirius. No matter how many of what you shoot, you'll never get good rep with these guys

That leaves the unlawfuls that you CAN get by rep-fixing. Bribing is probably one of the fastest ways to get your rep fixed. Freeports are the best places to find unlawful bribes (those crazy zoners). Junker bases even more if your rep's OK for you to land on them.

Or do missions / kill NPCs for repfixes. Your rep with that NPC faction does go down CONSIDERABLY when you destroy them, but yes, your rep with the desired faction doesn't go up near as much, it's part of the alliance system, deal with it. Fly missions will not only give you credit for killing the enemy NPCs, but also will give you a bonus to rep upon completing that mission. Taz had a great idea about junker missions (I didn't know that myself :tup: )

If all else fails, hire the Sirius Ship Dealers. They're pretty good from what I hear (no, i'm not one of them).

Instead of snarky comments and (lets face it) lackluster quips about the advice people are genuinely trying to give you. You've been here 3 days, not making a lot of friends.

***SPOILER***
Lastly, to make money quickly, take your newly-acquired starflyer behind Erie and mine Helium. Work your way up the ship-tree until you get a decent sized freighter (still available in Pennsylvania), and keep doing that, or start mining Silver in Colorado. You'll have 2m in no time, and can afford that ship.

Also, think about creating two characters, a trader and your desired combatant. This way one doesn't necessarily have to conflict with the other.
