35h spend so far and need to reset because can't buy ...

Post by FankX » Mon, 10. May 21, 00:42

I discovered nearly all sectors now, but i traded alot before.

No my ranking to split is too low to buy "rastar oil" anymore.
I got some blueprints of some TS which i wanted to build, but i can't because i can't buy it anymore.
And no npc likes to trade it, and all trading stations are empty :D

Any possibility to "reset" the ranking or cheat at least some of them, so i can build the a fleet to fix the ranking again?

Use diplomacy to restore rank.

There are 3 ways to fix this up and results are sometimes unpredictable.

1. Use the diplomacy option. Send an agent to a Split trading port and spend influence points for notoriety. It will need more than 1 agent in lower levels, so may take some time.

2. Find a Split mission outside split sectors. The mission offering faction is not always the owner of the sector. Sometimes, other factions also offers missions. Keep an eye for them and if you find a mission offered by a Split dude, you can do it and theres a possibility your ranks will jump to positive in one mission.

3. If I remember correctly, doing missions for Paranid also improves Split notoriety

Edit:

You can also try, Bartering with random NPC or try to steal Raster Oil using Cargo hacking too. Both options involve a bit of luck and can be challenging.
X fanatic. More of an X3 fanatic.
What about X4? Nah, I prefer a space simulator rather than a walking simulator.

I had one agent during the story, since then i never had one again.
I was reading the encyclopedia but didn't saw an option how to get one.
I also checked a lot of missions if they maybe rewards with an agent but no success.

You can also buy agents for discovery points.

You've discovered nearly all sectors and never clicked communicate on a Trade station with an Explorer's Guild representative? You must really hate missions!

About half of both Research and Trade stations with have an Explorer's Guild Representative who offers to trade your explorer points for rewards chosen from a random loot table, Agents are in the pool of possible rewards though I think they're massively over priced.

Yeah i bought 2 early on and by now i actually regret spending the discovery points on them (at that point i was trying to avoid missions to avoid being the dynamic rep screwing me up). They are rather expensive. About 180k discovery points for an 8 tasks agent.

Transport missions are great for collecting agents.

Also could not find any Rastar oil, so hopped from station to station until I found somebody under barter who traded with me. Handy feature, that bartering. :)
