Exiles rep to Junkers

[BaconSoda]

I have been able to avoid the battleship somewhat. I am about +4.5 bars positive to BMM and they don't shoot at me right away, so I can come into stokes from the rear and I'm okay. My problem now is the kusari destroyer and gunboat spawn that comes to me, and is not possible to avoid.

This player appears to have no empathy problems with +4.5 rep. I would volunteer to test the empathy, but I know from experience that more often than not, the police factions are the ones who are most often white to Junkers and my BPA/BAF/BMM rep is well into the negatives without being hostile. I'd expect the Exiles to cause the BMM to shoot me over the Exiles with a rep like that. I dunno about the squiggles, but it sounds like an empathy problem; it's not a bug. Working as intended so Gallic (Freelancers, trade ships, etc.) don't fly up to Glasgow, Stokes, LD-14, or wherever the civilian stations are and then don't get shot at by the stations while Exile NPCs are shooting them. You know, because Bretonia only has the largest number of civilian factions around and making all of them hostile is rather untenable sometimes. My Reavers sure as hell weren't hostile to those factions; BAF and BPA empathy did it for me.

That said, I've observed from both the inside and outside of the squiggles that their policy when facing adversity is most often complaining wildly and doing nothing constructive to help. No one can blame anyone for trying to Roleplay through a situation, especially when invited to try, but reserving yourself to defeat is something of a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I mean, look at this opportunity: Kusari hates the Junkers. Here they are behind enemy lines, stuck without supplies, with allies that dislike them, at best. What better a time to prove your worth? Supplying people who don't have supplies in hostile territories is something of a Junker strength. What's going to happen to Kusari perception of Junkers when those soldiers eventually go back? Talk about a shrewd business move.

But I suppose assuming corruption on the basis of personal hatred is a better idea.
