I've had a minor misunderstanding with the Controlling faction in a few systems I work in, and am not entirely clear how this affects different aspects of the BGS. I've seen (quite recently) a chart breaking down how different actions can affect the BGS, but it left a few details unclear with me. As I understand it, the things that were said and done only negatively the Controlling faction, no matter which factions ships were involved? Is this correct?
So, if Faction A is the Controlling faction, but I borrow some weapons or gold from one of faction B's ships, then I get a bounty from faction B, but my actions would negatively affect faction A's influence in the system?
Additionally, if someone were to smuggle illicit goods borrowed from faction B's ships into a station controlled by faction C, who is negativily affected? The faction controlling the system (A) or the faction controlling the station (C)?
And finally, this misunderstanding has escalated and I'm now carrying a hefty bounty which has led to faction A declaring themselves hostile to me in every system they control, and denying me landing permission at any station they control. Am I right in assuming the only way those feelings will change is if I land at a station controlled by a different faction and then work for faction A?
