Pacifying a System

Hi folks. I did a search on the term "Reputation" before posting this and found a lot of answers, but didn't see anything that *quite* got to what I want to ask here.

At some point when pacifying a hostile system, do you HAVE to work for the "bad" guys?

Thuben has been my first pacification project. I got from Hostile to Moderate fairly quickly. Tonight, working towards Fair level, I got Navy, Energy, and Miners all to 100%. Since then, I've done a few more missions for the Miners and Navy, hoping to nudge me over the edge. No go.

Do I need to just do more contracts for my preferred clients, or do I *have* to work for the Guild or the Rebels (who are at 3% and 30%, respectively)?

Thanks.

You do not need to work for the bad guys. Not ever. If your overall reputation doesn't improve after doing a few extra contracts, you can try exiting the system for awhile. Usually, that drops your local reputation with the good guys down a bit ... giving you the opportunity to re-enter the system and take on a few more contracts.

The best contracts, for me, are those where at least a handfull of bad guys bite the (space) dust.

Just a thought on pacifing systems. Once you reach the top ranks the need for missions is reduced. However, if you have a few hostile systems, great fun, herds and herds of reds coming at you non-stop - a kill fest.

3, or 4, of you, in MP, going against a hostile system is about, imho, the best experience in EL.

Anyway, once you've killed a few hundred of them, in a system, they tend to stay well away.

"I remember changing all my systems to Good in Evochron Renegades....Loads of fun" I now just keep the systems as is just for the thrill of it. Once you get your systems to Good Scabbo you can do a lot of Rebel and Guild contracts to changed them back or start shooting up up all the good guys

I think a career pirate would be an interesting choice (being a kind of loner).

Get a cargo scanner and just cruise along, looking for ships with good cargo, then blow them up. I would rather be able to trade with them (aggressive negotiations) so they can offer a bribe or something.

Then, dock at a station and sell. If it gets too hostile, then move on, like a plague, to the next system.

Once you get everyone to hate you, you can live out the remainder of your life hiding in a nebula. Better have a fuel converter by that time.

"I remember getting Bribes during a Hostile contract....accepting the bribe from a Hostile then turned my guns back on 'em"

Yep, made to billion in bribes alone pacifing all of Evochron.....LOL....Get high rank first and the bribes become big....

Oh, yes to change your reputation from moderate to fair you have to destroy all guilds and rebels, they have to be both at 0%.....
