What are you doing here! Come back to the Italian forum right now! (i'm kidding... of course)

I think SOP is only for the Italian localization...

That said... they are one of the two Paranid factions essentials for the Paranid plot.

SOP (Italian) HOP (English)

They are one of the major races in X4 - The Paranid race is split into 2 and they are half of that
They are not NEEDED (Much) except in the Paranid Plot as far as plot lines go -
however, they do keep the Universe in balance a little by consuming and producing resources -
by building things and more importantly by their war against Argon and the other half of the Paranid race. -
They are also close to Xenon space and thus are always invading Xenon and being invaded -
it's good to keep them their for those reasons.

In English, SOP = Standard Operating Procedure(s). Of course they are essential for any good military operation or mission. :D

Other than where you build stations for or deliver fleets (not as effective as stations) to factions in inter-faction missions, those missions have little real effect on the game balance. So basically do whatever you most fancy doing in the Argon v HOP and HOP v Argon missions so that it best supports your gameplay style. You can play both sides against the other while gaining both ways.

HOP (SOP in Italian) are fighting for freedom against the ARG/ANT invasion and against the corrupt PAR.
Best faction for business too.

Argon-Hop Quest Line....

There are many minor "Wars" between factions and you can help out any or all of them
So - take the Argon-Hop line - this will require you to do things for the Argon which
enable them to gain military advantage over HOP - things like destroy some of their ships etc.
You will gain Argon Rep and lose HOP reputation for this...
There are also things like "Argon-Xenon, "Terran-Xenon" and many others - each of which has
consequences and you will gain rep with one faction and lose with the other.
If it's a mission simply to put a satellite up - then you will not lose rep with the other faction...
So - you can take any of these missions or Ignore them - I ignore them if I want to keep reputation
with the other faction/race.

There is an achievement if you join PAR, HOP and ARG on that war. :mrgreen:

Some games give you an achievement for using shift and w to run or other things you naturally do by just playing the game... not impressive (all you need to have is a good relation with everybody, which in itself is easy) :P

On a good spot one can get PAR-vs-HOP, HOP-vs-PAR, HOP-vs-ARG, ARG-vs-HOP, and ANT-Trade-Guild missions simultaneously. That, of course would be very Teladi thing to do. :roll:

Guild missions are generic missions, not "plots" nor "stories".

Those missions are pretty much the only "reliable" source for good ship mods too right now.
