Newcomer / Intro Allied with everyone!

[bazza926]

So...I've been playing a while and have reached Lord rank within the glorious Empire. I took a break from ranking up for a spot of bounty hunting but now want to push towards the clipper.

I've read that once you get allied with a faction to move on and start again with another.

My problem now however is that I seem to be allied with all the empire's factions. I have been upto 100ly from where I was but still no luck. I've even looked around the galaxy map to far away places, clicked on empire controlled stations with factions I've never heard of before, buy I still am allied!

Am I missing something? What am I supposed to do?

Many thanks

Nope you aren't missing anything. All you can do is keep plugging away at missions for the Empire backed factions. As far as I remember you will eventually get a promotion mission.

Its a bummer. You are not actually Allied with all the minor factions, it just looks like you are. The displayed status is Minor Rep + Major Rep. The Major Rep is displayed on its own, but unless you are Unfriendly or Hostile locally, you wont have a clue about your local rep (Major Allied + Unfriendly Local = Friendly Displayed).
The only way to tell your Local Rep is to look at the quality of the missions. If you see the nice juicy ones for tens of thousands of credits, then you are probably Allied, move on. Otherwise you just have to use your judgement and memory (which in my case is non-existent) and move on when you think you have done enough missions to be Allied.

Thanks for the replies. Just done a couple more missions and the rank up one appeared.

Transfer 2t of grain. Not too difficult for a Baron!
