AP as Argon - improving rank with terrans?

Post by eugene123 » Sat, 1. Jun 13, 06:40

I'm playing AP as Argon and want to improve rank with Terrans to the point where I can do missions for them (currently I'm at "Terrorist"). What can I do to do this?

I tried shooting Argon ships and stations in both conflicted sectors and Argon core sectors, but even though my Argon reputation drops very fast all the way to Confirmed Enemy, my Terran reputation doesn't budge an inch.

Are there any pirate bases close enough to Terran sectors to be able to hack into?

You need to shoot enemies of the Terrans in Terran sectors in order to increase your reputation. They couldn't care less what you do in the enemies' own or other sectors. Furthermore, you need to go after M6 and larger vessels, destroying fighters has very little effect.

This pretty much limits your playgrounds to Asteroid Belt and Heretic's End for shooting Argons, and Segaris when it comes to shooting Xenon.

There's often a Pirate base behind the south gate of Aldrin 2, other locations are random. You need to get yourself a fast ship (such as a Kestrel, for example) and map the Terran sectors to find them.

Didn't find the pirate base anywhere in Aldrin 2, but attacking Argons in Heretic's End works. Thanks!

I have max rank with Argon and almoust max rank with terrans (started as Bankrupt Assassin), best ways are:
Attacking Xenon Ships in Segaris, Connect hub with althes-Neptune (trading).

Ok, I killed enough Argon to get my rank with Terrans/ATF to +3 (Mars Access), but I have a new problem: even though the terrans are friendly (as in don't open fire on me) and allow docking, they still show as red (hostile) in the UI, and none of their bases offer any missions. How do I fix this?

Have your friend/foe settings switched to put them as foe?

I don't know, how do I check?

Switching the "show as enemy if enemy to me" from yes to no in the Command Console didn't help.

Edit -- oops, nvm, noticed the per-race settings right above it! :oops: Thanks, it worked.

How do I change global settings to not set Terran/ATF to hostile? It keeps resetting every time I change ships

Edit - found it too - under Advanced section in Personal options

In terran sectors. One can kill Boron, Teladi, Paranid, Split, Argon Xenon, Pirates, and Yaki. Basicly you can kill everyone (but terrans) and get rep.
