pesky raiders

[GAlex]

hi to all you veteran in (cyber)space,

i've just jumped to fauston and docked to a station.
while i was deciding whether to pay about 15000(!?!) bucks as docking/trading fee, half a dozen ships in red began to hunt me.
rapidly checked my reputation and it was at about 30-45% for all factions, while in evochron i had 70-90%.
moreover those pesky raiders keep shooting at me lasers, guns & missiles which passed the blue shielding of the space station and HIT ME! or so i suppose from the bouncing of my cockpit and from the sound of a hit. i tried to flee with a rapid jump to the gate but there was anoter 4-5 marauders awaiting for me there and ... i accepted the defeat and went posting this.

are the 15000 (star)bucks just to trade or to obtain "protection" from that buddy around fauston? i'm running 1.098, weren't the fees halved? must i rapidly pay or suite my ship for a massacre? (btw, can i nuke the cyties and the surface of a planet like in BSG?)
is there a way to pacifically enter another quadrant w/out hurting the local's sensibility? how do they know i wasn't a trader doing owns business? in the end why did they blindly killed me?

thanks in advance to all of you.

Fauston is a Hostile territory, and is not recommended for the faint of heart enter at own risk should be the warning!LOL:P

As for the 15000, that is cheap it used to be more. I paid some stations 50,000 to 80,000 for docking fees, but you only pay docking fees in locations where you have a bad reputation and hostile systems. And it is just for trading and buys you some protection while docked. To get full protection in hostile systems you will need to buy a Station License of which the cost rises with your Rank and can run in the 50 millions in some places!

Yes you can nuke planets, stations, and cities, and enjoy the fireworks but it will not destroy them!

In your news console it tells you what your reputation is in the system your in if it is Hostile you can do two things. If you have a good strong ship and enough combat experience you can try to change your reputation from Hostile to Good but takes a very long time even for the most skilled fighter but it can be done. I pacified all Hostile sytems in my SP game so I can prety much go every where! The other option is to run and just slide at full side ways enertia through the hostile systems to get to other more peacefull systems! If you use a side ways slide enertia hostile ships have a hard time targetting you! Hope this helps;)

thank you for your kindness and your help.

since for the quest i have to go to fauston, i'll have to "pacify" the enemy territory:mad:
will buff my ship to its full power.

You have to do some trading or mining, then you can buy more powerful weapons and ship frames and parts.Now,you are ready to go to hostile territory.

You can join to Mp and find some good pilot to protect you
Welcome aboard...

Yesterday i changed my reputatiton in Fauston from moderate -> fair. But im not sure how i achieved that Last few days i did only Navy and energy jobs cuz its pain in ass make this fraction angry. In 1.098 vers. angry fraction did witchhunt on me and its not realy nice So i think when u does jobs only for energy/navy ur reputation goes up and vice versa.

Yup that is how you change your rep, you can also work for minners to increase rep but you have to be more carefull choosing the contract for minners!;)
