Picking faction/starting location

[AlexPaladinStorm]

A problem with the Neutrality, in my opinion, is the fact that, in the Bar, it doesn't matter how close to pure neutrality you are with a faction, they still won't talk to you. two blocks in either direction is supposed to be proper neutrality... and yet if you get anyone within those two blocks, they still won't talk to you. It's stupid. Once you get past -0.2 (or -20, whichever way you'd like to call it), they should start being sociable. But, no. The bar only has two states for dialog characters: Hate, and Like.

"You better go, before something bad happens to you."

Again, another thing that likely would have been adjusted, if Digital Anvil was allowed to get to it. There should be 5 chat states, just like there should be 5 in-space states (that is, Hostile, Annoyed, Neutral, Like, Friendly - Friendly should mean they don't mess with you at all (even scans should be lessened/non-existent, as the Guide says they are supposed to be) and will help you against anyone who tries to fire at you- even if they themselves are friendly with the ones that are hostile towards you; when you talk with them, they should treat you like an old friend. Like should be between Friendly and Neutral - scanning isn't at the average frequency, but it's still frequent, and there's a chance they'll help against those who fire on you; when talking, they should be fairly amicable towards you, but not too buddy-buddy. Neutral should be just that- neutral; no special treatment, and no special services; chatter should be polite, but not pleasant. Annoyed should increase the chance of being scanned more than usual, and heighten the chance they'll fire on you for attacking, or being attacked by, somebody they're on better-than-neutral terms with; bar conversations should be unpleasant, but they should still possibly do business with you. Hostile is, of course, Hostile. Shoot-on-site, threaten you when you talk to them in the bar... )
