Faction ratings

Hi !

I have trouble with some of the factions. For some reasons I donÂ´t understand, my relations with some factions are deteriorating, even when I havenÂ´t done anything wrong to them. For example, my rating with the confeds is rapidly going down even if I never fired on a confed ship. Same goes for LIHW. Und some tugs keep firing their tractor beams at me, sometimes even pushing me into stations. ThatÂ´s how I got problems with the uln.

What am I doing wrong? I shoot down pirates and luddites, and this helps somewhat with the confeds, but how do I get the LIHW and uln off my back?
I donÂ´t want to start a new game, I just gut a shiny new Dostoyevsky!

I believe the ULN start hating you when you attack pirates. Don't know about LIHW, but if I remember correctly they are friends of the Forsaken, so you should leave them alone as well.

@KhymMahn concentrate on Luddites for a while leave the pirates alone

that should start to reverse your fortunes with the Uln and the rest who have ties to the pirates.Once your relations with the LIHW start down the ConFed start down as well.

Enjoy the Choice

I've been playing the 0.5 beta, and focusing purely on Luddites. Strangely, I've become positive standings with everyone else except the Uln, and each additional Luddite kill subtracts another point from my Uln standings... Is this a change in 0.5b from the faction relationships loki1950 described above?

Yes, it seems to me to. Fortunately, you can kill ulns without making anyone else angry, except maybe aera, I don't know.

Thats not correct, but can't remember details

I swear that I killed quite a bunch of Ulns in 0.5 without making anyone angry. Except maybe the luddities or aerans, but I don't know since I'm at minus 100 with them as well.

Killing Uln gets the forsaken mad at you, and if you shoot forsaken the LIHW are onto you, and if you kill one of those then the confeds are after your butt

So, if I have understood it right...

If you kill pirates -> LIHW and Forsaken relations go down
If you kill LIHW -> Confed relations go down

Great. It is now officially against the law to defend oneself against pirate attacks. And one can't even run away from them if they choose to kill the player!

In real life, you help the police to defeat the pirates.
In VegaStrike, police helps the pirates to defeat you!

I REALLY hope the rewrite of the relations is coming.

EDIT: Now that I have survived a bit longer (by tapping F1 key), I met the Uln. What the hell? From what I have read, these guys fight anyone, even their own kind. What is behind this? And I also see that my relation with pirates is -100, but still no hostilities from LIHW. May be that the F1 key has done its work on the relations.

EDIT: Seems that mechanist citizens have the same behaviour as the Uln. Today several of their unarmed ships tried to ram me and their mule started shooting me, and I have not provoked any aggression.
