Changing affiliation for main player

Hi Vice,


I saw a post that you did explaining that you can change the affiliation for your Indie player when you are in an aligned system so that you can talk to and trade with ships better and then change back to Indie when you leave.


1. Do I just go to the change name screen and leave everything the same except change the affiliation. And that will not mess with my saves for that player?

2. And I know this should be obvious but I am confused about how to identify the system affiliation. I see numbers showing % control, but is there somewhere that just definitely says, eg: "This system is Federation controlled!"


Thanks

You've figured it out ... yes, when you change your faction, all else stays the same. Except, of course, the opposite faction's ships will show up red. And you'll likely receive a greater number of combat contracts. As for percentages, look for ALC (Alliance) or FDN (Federation) next to the % sign. Plus a general description of who owns what and by how much.
