So recently came to my attention that I have become Hostile with the Federation. How did this happen? I might have killed a few of their ships but nothing major. WHenever I see new zones I keep seeing a few corporations that are hostile to me and belong with the Federation and probably have never done them any harm. How can I make amends? But really how did this happen? I keep killing Furbaide Syndicate guys... killed like a hundreds of them and I am still neutral. How am I hostile with the Federation??? WHat have I done????
Hostile with Federation
- Thread starter Soulkiller
- Start date
Few possibilities I can think of. Did you maybe kill a federation cop? If so thatll get you some serious negative rep. Getting scanned with illegal cargo in federation space carries a pretty heavy penalty too. Trying to come back from hostile is going to be a mammoth chore. Unless you have 40 million in assets if you're hoping to be on their good side you might be best off just clearing your save and starting over.
I have around 2 mill in assets but no way in hell I am starting over.... well at least thank you for the quick reply. I have been scanned with illegal cargo dozens of times, however I ALWAYS paid the debt. Or that doesnt count? I cant remember if I have accidently killed a Fed Cop... maybe but then again cant be more than 1... I think I would have noticed it. Is there any way to transfer my Creds to a new char? I guess I will become a pirate then and kill those idiot Fed dudes.
EDIT: Is there some sort of Pirate organiaztion which I can work for to kill those pesky Feds then for bounties?

Trade and bounty hunt for them.
Breaking the law is usually why they become hostile..

I've been hostile to the Feds since early gamma. I did nothing wrong, it was caused by a foolish gamma upgrade bug. FD never resolved it. So I'm unfriendly to the whole federal universe. Makes no difference how many missions I do for them, I still stay unfriendly, although the blue trend arrow always is pointing up. Its broke. The fools (Feds) even insist on promoting me in the Federation. And I like that.
Its working now. I repaired the damage just doing a couple of trade runs.
There's the reason. Paying the debt prevents you from getting wanted, but what stations don't like is smuggling attempts. Your reputation gets hit every time you get fined for entering a station with illegal cargo.
Nope, it's still broke. I also started off as Hostile for no reason, and no matter how many missions i do for the feds it stays on unfriendly - even if the mission completion screen says 'friendly' it reverts back to unfriendly as soon as you exit the screen.
Doesn't sound like one mistake, sounds like several.
If your bounties are wanted in both fed and empire space, then you get rep with both.
No, it's working. But the major faction reputations take a lot of work to move.
I think you might not understand what the mission completion screen and status panel are actually showing. The reputation shown on the mission completion screen is the reputation with that minor faction specifically. The reputation for a minor faction in the status panel is the reputation with that faction combined with your overall reputation with the major faction. It's the total reputation that indicates how they will treat you. So if your Fed reputation is hostile and your reputation with a minor faction (as shown in mission completion) is friendly then in the status panel that minor faction would be unfriendly (hostile+friendly = unfriendly). The faction will treat you as unfriendly.
The reputation scores are more fine-grained than just hostile/unfriendly/neutral/friendly/allied. You can often tell just how unfriendly a faction is by watching how quickly the status panel value changes. E.g. if you are unfriendly with the Feds then a faction you've not interacted with will show as unfriendly on the status panel (the faction-specific reputation is neutral and neutral+unfriendly=unfriendly). If you do a couple of missions and that faction changes to neutral in the status panel then you know your overall Fed reputation is only slightly unfriendly and will change to neutral soon: the minor faction reputation is slightly better than neutral and the combined reputation for that faction is neutral so the Fed reputation must be slightly worst than neutral.

You can either try to work your way back up to neutral, by the sounds of it this could take a while. On the other hand you could just roll with it and eiter go full on criminal or side with the Empire or Alliance. There are so many independant stations anyway so I dont think you'll have truble finding somewhere to land no matter where you fly and no matter how much negative rep you accumulate with the big factions.
hey guys, i'm hostile to the feds for a week or so, and can't revert back.
i have 26 lifetime crimes costs a total of hardly 200k cr, i might have killed 2-3 fed security vessels and 5-6 times abandoned some missions.
the important thing is, it doesnt matter how many missions i complete(for credits or reps, doesnt matter too), it just stuck at %99 with every fed system(and obviosly with minor faction that controls the system).
and im really reaaally tired of this situation, since i always have to get in starports at full speed or in silence mode, so this makes me nervous.
isn't there a solution to this topic? googled many times, lots of ideas (worst is clearing save data) but no real solution. i made trading feds to feds, completed missions(for the fed minor factions) and hunted down criminals, but nothing changes.
maybe devs have to look into this problem..
i would appriciate any help (excluding "clear save"
)

This also means, if you're trying to work a faction up from Hostile/Unfriendly, you should work for many different sub-factions, not just focus on one, because you can cap out your rep with a given sub-faction and then you stop progressing with the main faction.
Ok this is ridiculous.
I've been playing since Christmas and have rolled my eyes at people throwing their toys out of the pram because of silly things they should've known before purchasing, or finding it too hard, or not having enough credits to rebuy their ship etc etc etc but federation suddenly turning hostile to me is RIDICULOUS !
I've never shot at a Fed ship, never been caught smuggling, never pirated, always helped the Feds in killing wanted folk etc and yet all of a sudden I'm an enemy!?
I did fail some missions which I did sincerely try in so some factions are a little bit upset, I did get caught 2-3 times with stuff I found in space (allegedly "stolen") but I've ALWAYS gone straight to the fed place and paid like a good little boy.
So for suddenly everyone in Fed space to hate me and want to kill me is INSANE and has ruined the game for me.
I don't know what i'm meant to do to get out of it. Reading the above it sounds like I'm screwed. I don't want to turn into a baddie, never have done, and it's absurd that the game should decide that's my only option. It sure sounds like some sort of a bug to me. Like, ships in Fed space show up as red and hostile even though I'm not carrying anything and am not "wanted". Feds start shooting me for no reason just because they (for whatever goddam reason!) have decided they don't like me. NO bounties, NO illegal cargo, NOT wanted, NOTHING AT ALL! And as I remain loyal and good I never return fire and always continue to help them out killing wanted people. This is beyond ridiculous. I would gladly pay a fine and say I'm sorry (for whatever the hell it is I'm meant to have done!) but there doesn't seem to be a way out.
Am I going to switch sides over this and join the hoards of dissatisfied Elite ex-players or is there an upcoming fix to this??
