Fulcrum Torps and Fuzzy Pink Bunnies

Hey all. Now that I have your atttention ...

Just a quick question about Fulcrum Torps. I have been using them for the last 8 or so missions to get a quick "contract complete" in the Arvoch Warzone.

When I pop them off I kill everything in the area, including the mob of reds I was pointing at, a couple unfortunate greens/yellows that get caught in the blast, and a few fuzzy pink bunnies... everything *boom* (including me if I am not already on afterburner at 1200+ moving away from the target).

Just wondering what this does to my Navy rep or if it effects my rank or what are the consequences of this? I have read a lot of posts here and there is some conflicting information. Some people say it makes the contract null and void using fulcrums on it, but then why would I get the "contract complete" message?

If someone could clarify this for me it would be greatly appreciated.

Using fulcrums will not null and void the contract. The "Contract Complete" message is proof of that.

I would not worry about your reputation being damaged. The reputation you gain for completing the contract should make up for the reputation lost by killing friendlies. If you do notice Navy ships are turning red, jump out of the sector and return and everything should be back to normal.

EDIT:
Of course, if you do this on MP with fellow pilots, you will probably not be very popular. Furthermore, I believe that if you inadvertently kill the flight lead (whoever started the contract), you could risk failing it. This, of course, only applies in MP and when you are not alone.
