Going to start a custom game HOP only
Has anyone tried this i.e i am a member of HOP from the start with hostile relations to the other paranid and the argon/ antigone and terrans. teladi and split im just a bit below neutral.
Wondering if there is anything i should know in regards to economy restrictions etc beyond the obvious 5 sector starting area.
Planning a mix of trade and fight.

I used to list PC parts here, but "the best" will suffice!

looking at an interactive map online the big issue looks like lack of ore and silicon in HOP space, loads in faulty logic but there are those xenon chaps to deal with lol

Cardinal's Redress isn't spectacular but it's okay for ore and silicon. Methane and helium are a much bigger problem if you can't get them from Pious Mists or The Void.
Trading is also a problem since you have no route for your traders that doesn't go through hostile territory, and PAR and ARG/ANT camp those gates pretty much constantly.

Between Cardinal's Redress and Lasting Vengeance, there should be plenty of mineral resources. As for Helium and Methane, a quick run through Pious Mists II and on into Teladi space, Eighteen Billion has a lot of both. Running the blockade at the Pontifex Claim/Pious Mists II gate shouldn't be a problem in a fast miner, even if you have to do it yourself.
And if you're going to try this scenario, I highly recommend disabling highways in the Creative Custom configuration menus. It will make it easier to keep the bad guys out of your (HOP) space.

Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

I tried this - did missions for HOP until i got a destroyer and went on an assassination mission which took me to HAT sector. Xenon were invading it as usual and one started attacking me with its escorts so i kill it. After it and its escorts died i got over 20 rep all at once and they invite me to the rank ceremony and declare peace - it killed my RP so i stopped playing the save and i feel defeated when all i wanted was to blow up one of their freighters.

Hey, sad story, but you can declare war again against every faction, if you "accidentally" gain reputation, can't you?aFunnyBunny wrote: ↑Fri, 10.

Yes. You can declare war if your reputation is better than -25, because the "declaration" simply drops your reputation to -25.
