Freelancer reputation...

[teschy]

Well, this may have not been much of a problem in the previous mod versions, with the Freelancer rep being so hard to get, and many people just giving up on the idea. Now, however, with the new bribes on Barrier station in Coronado, getting the rep is just a matter of money.

But there is still a problem: the empathy towards the other factions. Killing BHG and Zoners, or doing missions for the unlawful factions will sink your Freelancer reputation. The most problematic situation is that of the Pirate ID's, which can use the Freelancer tag, but they cannot reflect their hostility in the rep chart towards the lawful factions, because that will cause their Freelancer rep to plummet, mostly because of the Bounty Hunters Guild. Also, there are freelancers out there who take contracts against the BHG, and being hostile to the NPC faction is required.

So, my suggestion would be to set everything that's linked to the Freelancer reputation to 0.00. It's just a matter of minutes editing those, and I'm sure it will save some players a lot of hassle.
