Exploration Data & Faction Rep

Hi folks,

I'm on yet another return leg from Colonia. Thought I'd visit the bubble to get myself a new ship and visit a few engineers before returning.

Here's my question:

I was contemplating dumping some of my data to Sirius in order to get friendly with them, facilitating introduction with Marco Qwent later down the line, but I also wanted to help a player faction and dump some in a system where they need it.
I know a hook/scoop straight line should net me around 40mil, but I'm fairly sure I'll get a lot more than that given the detour I'm taking and the discoveries I'm making.

How much will I need to drop at Sirius in order to get friendly?

This will decide where I set my arrival destination, thanks!

10 million of data will get you from neutral to allied (you may only need friendly for the invitation, but you need allied to get the Sirius permit to get the invitation, so...). You should easily have enough spare to get the Alioth permit (for Turner) and introductions to Nemo and Ryder too, and still have plenty left for your player faction.

Cheers Ian,

This is great news, who do I need to get sweet with for the Alioth permit?

edit: no worries, googling it now
Thanks again
:)

Good question and repped I'm considering doing exactly the same thing when I return from Silly Ships 2.
Daft question but which system do you drop off exploration data to get allied with Sirius?

There's a few systems around Sirius where Sirius Corp are present, PROCYON is one, for example.

There's also YORU for the party of Yoru (Zac Nemo)
And EURYBIA for Ryder.

Yup, the list that newman1702 linked is great. If you still have data left over after getting the permits you want, you might also consider getting allied with the Canonn PMF in Chacobog, as that'll grant you their decal later on. Of course, I don't know if anyone outside the group would wish to sport their logo, but I'd say it's an option worth mentioning regardless.

Since you sell your data one page at a time, you can just keep selling until you get that "incoming message" notification, telling you that you are now allied. You don't need to worry about pre-emptive maths.

The idea behind "pre-emptive maths" is that I want to give a large boost to the Player Minor Faction in the first place.
So finding out how much is needed to get allied with another faction for the permit only would have decided whether to head for the permit or save the money for the PMF.

Thankfully, 10 mil is a lot less than I anticipated, so I can head to Sirius first, then Alioth, leaving plenty for the Player Minor Faction.
Thanks again, everyone!
