How to repair hostile rep with minor faction?

[Kilazi]

So I recently found out something that likely helps.
I handed in some bounties at a station where the guys issuing the bounty (ie. the faction hostile to you) were NOT present and as soon as I did my reputation increased from "Hostile" to "disliked".
How I got this bounty target initially was, while in the system owned by the hostile faction, I destroyed a wanted ship NOT belonging to the hostile faction.
What this means is that this is an avenue to use to raise your rep with that hostile faction even if you cannot interact with any contacts of theirs at any station/settlement where they are present.

Yes that's a solution too... a KWS can be also used to earn bounties if that "hostile" faction is not in control of a system.

The KWS is great. While the extra cash is the headline feature, I always get a kick from hearing a message notification informing me when I've had my rep increased with some random faction.

To necro this thread yet again, I ended up making my squadron's faction mad at me. This was bad, because I couldn't even work on my own colony. I managed to finally repair my rep by finding a war involving my faction in a system where my faction was present but not dominant. I then went to a station, disembarked, and enlisted in frontline to fight for my faction. I was worried both sides would be hostile, but in the ground CZ only the enemy was hostile. After winning the battle and turning in my combat bonds, my faction moved me back to merely dislike instead of hostile.

I remember a while back it got worked out that you needed something like 300k in bounties or combat bonds or 5+ rep from missions.

"It depends"

If the faction belongs to a superpower, all your rep gains/losses are modified by your superpower rep.... high superpower rep multiplies gains and losses, lower superpower rep reduces gains and losses.

Yes... that means if you have low superpower rep and you lose rep to an aligned faction... your rep loss will be less than if you were allied with that superpower, and gains will likewise be affected.
