Newcomer / Intro I've turned hostile with a faction that has my type 6. Now what?

[kris44dad]

For some reason, I've turned hostile with the Federation. Not sure why. I may have fired on someone who was attacking me.

Anyway, my main source of income, my type 6 is docked at a now hostile port (I'm in my explorer ship). How do I fix being a hostile? I figure I could do rep gain missions, but I may need my freighter to start doing that. The Fed ships outside the station of course, shoot at me as I approach. Am I forced to get docking clearance and avoid getting blown up to swap for my type 6, or is there just some way I can pay these guys off.

Whatever I did can't be so bad that I can't pay a fine somewhere and set things right. There is a little red triangle with an exclamation point by the info section of my HUD. I don't know how to access that message, whatever it is.

• Go somewhere where you are neutral.
• Buy a Sidwinder.
• Put A2 thrusters on it if you can; otherwise go for the best you can get.
• Jump back to your T6's system.
• Go to the hostile starport.
• Line yourself up about 8KM out from it. Make sure you're basically going to fly straight on.
• Set 4 pips to thrusters.
• 100% throttle, boost towards the station.
• Immediately swith to the left UI panel > contacts tab and request docking.
• Boost again.
• Deploy landing gear about 1.5KM out to slow you down in time.
• Dock like a boss.
• Sell Sidwinder parts, then sell Sidwinder hull.
• Retrieve T6.
• Pay more attention to the people you shoot and the factions you work for in future.

Ok, so basically I have to go in as a smuggler, but is there any way to fix my damaged rep?

 

[krysohmyz]

Only I'm afraid it won't work.
I believe that since 1.1, the hostile station won't let you dock.

 

[kris44dad]

actually, it did work. they gave me docking clearance and I got inside. And got my ship back

 

[CaptainKremmen]

You took that ship back right under their noses!

 

[kris44dad]

I'd rather get my reputation back as well. I'm a trader and its a pain in the butt thing to check on what stations I can dock at

Start running missions with smaller outposts. Try to avoid system security. Eventually it should jump back up to neutral. But it will be risky.

Check if there is a fine that you still have to pay, in the contacts section of that star port.

That was the first thing I looked for once I was in. I was hoping to buy my way to neutral. No such luck. If I'm not mistaken, outstanding fines are also posted to the transactions board on board ship.

I didn't really know if the station itself was going to shoot me if I went inside. {Here goes nothing...throttle up...}

 

[AstroZak]

Also check for Bounties. They're not listed on the transactions board IIRC. Although that should make you wanted rather than hostile.

Damaged rep is hard to fix. Look for an outpost under the same faction, then take as many missions for them as possible. Not sure what else could be done to fix it.

LOL! Then, read it again top-down...ROFLMAO!

Not a quick and easy one. Had this happen to me - hostile to Federation. Go out and hunt down pirates - if you have a capable fighting ship. That will slowly bring your rep with Federation back to neutral.
