to save you reading the whole thing this is what i have found...
killing about 40ships in blanki and turning in the combat bonds with the local station gets me a federation rep from neutural to friendly..
doing any bulitin board missions such as kill 4 warships even though it is for the local federation faction you are fighting for will have a negative effect, it is bugged..
remember to select a side when you enter the conflict zone, right hand ui, panel, functions, pick the side the federation wants you to, then just kill everything red and dont hit the green ones..
no need to risk your pride and joy, if your a trader just grab an eagle, a beam laser and two gimballed multicannons, its great fun...
I will post this because i was getting frustrated with the federation and empire rep, i started out a month ago and like most was trading non stop to buy better ships, then i decided i wanted to visit sol, so started improving my rep with stations to get naval missions, ended up friendly with about 8 stations, allied with several others but due to the permit bug i had a few other permits but no sol.. ended up with rank of ensign, but still neutral with the federation.. gave up and headed for the empire to work on getting a clipper.. Got to knight with the empire, fairly quickly again just trading picking up the odd naval mission, traded my way up from the type 6, to the asp then finally the type 7.. finally got my baron rank bought a clipper.. still neutral with the empire but that news buletin about the trouble in blanki with the feds offering a rep increase by helping out caught my attention.. so i took my shiny new clipper and made the 140+ lyr journey to blanki..
I decided i was not going to risk the clipper on a bit of combat yet as like i said i have only really been trading and only in combat for a few naval rankings and a bit of bounty hunting just to see what it was like when i had a cobra.. I always ran when interdicted never fought... so i have about 120 kills and classed as novice..
parked my clipper in a nearby fed station and bought an eagle, fully upgraded for battle and headed for blanki...
what a blast, started off with taking out a few eagles then a cobra or two until i ran out of ammo, headed to the nearest outpost to refuel and turn in my combat bonds about 24k, not worth it for the money but it was fun... did this a couple of times and then i suddenly noticed i was freindly with the federation, not the local station but the whole federation..... finally after all my effort of missions and naval expansion, a bit of fighting with the eagle got me the rep i wanted.. i had picked up a mission with the local outpost to destroy 4 war ships, but i forgot to cash it in and headed for the furthest station about 500,000ls hoping i might see a federation battle ship andget to fight along side that, but to no avail... so decided while i was there i would just get stuck into the fight with my eagle in the high intensity cobat zone..getting better i started taking out bigger game with the help of the feds even had a pop at the anaconder..
I then decided to head to another system to get a viper but i had forgot to turn in my mission to kill 4 warships, so i went back into blanki to the first station to hand it in.. this was a mistake after killing 60 ships and finally happy to be friendly with the federation turning in that mission got me unfriendly with the local faction i was fighting for and back to neutural with the federation, i was not a happy camper...
luckily a few more kills and turning in 24k in combat blnds got me back to freindly with the feds but still unfriendly with the local federation faction i was fighting for???
tried a viper but i think i prefer the eagle, maybe its because i use occulus rift, but prefer the visability and cockpit in the eagle..and incase your wondering i was a bit disapointed with the clipper, not the way it handles but i prefer the glass cockpit of the asp, being able to look down and see your landing pad is something i will miss now i have a clipper.. but at least it looks cool on the outside..
