    Expanding and improving minor-faction competition and Squadron purpose

    The following suggestion is designed to cost minimal effort (minor backend coding and no additional ingame assets of any kind) but massively improve the experience of minor faction and squadron play and purpose. The short description is basically extending some power-play-like mechanics to minor...

    Navy Rank upgrades not happening

    So I've completed the rank missions for Knight rank with the Imperial Navy 3 times now, but my Reputation status with the Empire still shows as Squire at 100%. I have received the mail saying I've gotten the Knight rank 3 times, but the upgrade has not shown in the Status HUD. Anyone know if...

    Reputation and Outpost behaviour - whats going on?

    So cmdrs, I´ve a question and I´d like to know your opinion (so I´ll either accept the fact or create a bug report). Here is what happened: I had a quest to terminate some NPCs on an Outpost. The faction in that oupost had an Allied reputation with me. I landed nearby, disembarked and walked...

    Minor Faction Rep and the ‘Flying Dutchman’ Problem

    With this post, I want to discuss minor faction rep, the hypothetical ‘Flying Dutchman’ problem, and ways to fix it. tl:dr: Make the hostile status non-permanent for minor factions, at least decay a small percentage each day in real time. For major factions, there exists decay (and conversely...

    Newcomer / Intro Rep rank up missions

    So I am currently grinding my fed ranks but I have come across an issue with one of the rank up missions (yes I know I can just skip the mission or not take it). I have seen this though quite often with a few promotion missions. The promotion mission started at an outpost specifically Williams...

    Codex Stats and Status suggestions

    Just an idea. Under Codex > Hub > Commander > Stats > Exploration: There is a status for 'Highest Payout' - change the name to 'Highest System Payout' and add one more stat: 'Highest Astronomical Body Payout' - would be nice to track your most lucrative astronomical body. Second idea -...

    Trying to get allied with 'The Shunned' minor faction

    "The Shunned" is a non-player faction located in the asteroid base "New Growth" in the pencil nebula. This minor faction controls no stations, has no normal missions available , but strangely has passenger missions. However these missions are reputation locked, and therefore are not available...

    Please add minor faction information to mission reward selection screen.

    The minor faction contact's picture and quote are shown but the minor faction itself is not. It would be very valuable to see my current reputation with the minor faction for whom I have just completed a mission. It would make it much easier to chose which reward to take. For example it is a...

    Fed Rank progression slowing down by 50% - why?

    Hi all, I'm out at Ceos/Sothis doing the grind for a Corvette. I'm Elite ranked explorer and only broker trader, and so I found that the passenger missions to Sirius Atmospherics were more lucrative than running data/cargo trade between stations - going from Lieutenant Commander and Post...

    General / Off-Topic Friend Request Day

    Today is the 9th of the 9th, one of those rare days when all countries agree on what date format to use :D In the name of community I'd like to ask everyone to send a friend request (on here, or in-game if they are happy to share their Cmdr name on private request) to anyone you like. There's...

    I think the department heads seem like petulant childeren

    As of now I am a couple of hours into the game, enjoying it so far. But the reputation system with the department heads seems kind of arbitrary at the start of the game. something like " I don't like that you hatched an Edmontosaurus for science purposes, I wanted you to hatch one for...

    Engineers Increasing Engineer Ranking without performing unneccesary upgrades

    tl;dr How does Hand in bounty vouchers to Broo's Legacy work for raising rep? I have Broo Tarquin unlocked and i'm currently at the base rep level 1 rank. I've previously leveled reps of engineers by doing upgrades i don't need and then cancelling them and then doing the ones I want. However...

    Newcomer / Intro Question about Rep

    Probably a dumb question. I've been running basic medicine to rescue ship in Irandan and netting 1.2-2.8 mil per run in my T7 to build up cash for a multipurpose python for mission running and BGS/roleplay. I'm now allied with Sirius, who own the rescue ship (I presume due to the volume of...

    Fed/Emp Reputation and Credit Grind in Beyond Chapter 1

    So with the Skimmer Mission gold rush behind us I have been trying to look into what the best methods are for earning cash and reputation with the Federation and Empire as I do not yet have enough rank for the Corvette or the Cutter. And working with other members of my player faction we seem to...

    Ended last night on positive Federation move @80% - tonight upon logging in, I get negative move @79%

    Ended last night on positive Federation move @80% - tonight upon logging in, I get negative move @79% Is this how fast the DECAY system starts to kill what you did dozens of repetitive missions for? I haven't played since the decay system came in, but I never thought it would be this bad, that...

    Benefits of being allied to superpowers (Federation/Empire/Alliance)?

    Some time ago, being allied to a superpower meant that you were automatically allied with any minor factions who followed the superpower, which was awesome. However, this was changed (which in my opinion is a shame and sort of unrealistic) and being allied with a superpower no longer means that...

    THIS IS WAR: Cosmetic-Shop-Moaners vs Everyone Else

    It's doing my head in all this selfish moaning about the ED shop, prices, what-people-should-have etc. So I've decided to be a selective murderer :mad: The only gentlemanly way to settle this is with a good old fight. I'll be targeting the moaners in-game with absolute prejudice...
