This weekend I am back at Cubeo, doing surface missions from Lubbock Penal Colony in my Viper MKIV. I have the Python parked up at Weaver Vision to stack some hauling/smuggling just for a bit of variety.
Last week I finished ranking up with the Federation, now I am trying to achieve the same thing with the Empire. Later on I plan on doing the same in Alliance space.
I was doing ok in Cubeo before going over to Fed space, stacking the 'Cut the Power/Data Gathering/Cracking Down' missions at Metcalf Keep +++, but lately I have been getting fines and dormant bounties
for doing the exact same missions, the exact same way as before. It got me thinking. The minor faction at Metcalf Keep +++ is the Cubeo Purple Deeds.
Maybe it's because I have been blowing up Cubeo Purple Deeds turrets and generators for so long that my reputation with them diminished.
So now I am taking on missions just for Cubeo Purple Deeds, to ally myself with them and to find out if I can do those same surface missions without earning dormant bounties while I am in their good books.
