BUG - Bankrupt Assassin - Paranid stay hostile

[Creston]

I started as a bankrupt assassin, where both the Boron and Paranid hate your guts. Dealt with the waves of bounty hunters, though eventually they stopped.

Somehow my Boron reputation had gone back up to acquaintance, and the Boron seemed fine with me. Paranid rep stayed at Enemy to Priest Duke.

Because of some missions, I decided to up my rep with the paranid. Spent many many MANY hours in paranid sectors killing pirates to get my rep back up. Finally managed to get it back to Friend.

However, all sectors are STILL hostile to me. I've fixed my friend and foe settings, and all the stations are cool and will let me dock, but every ship is STILL hostile.

I've run a test with Cycrow's cheat to set my rep to the highest it can go, and every military ship will STILL fire at me.

So, great? 28 hours of gametime screwed?

Is there any way to globally reset the paranid race to neutral? Or to globally wipe out all their ships or something? I can't continue with the Terran plot because Paranid military ships are killing my TS, I can't continue with the Argon plot because Paranid ships are murdering my sector patrols in the Unknown sector, etc etc.

If a start permanently turns a race hostile, it would have helped if you had let people KNOW that before they started playing it...

doesn't sound like a technical issue, more to do with gameplay..
maybe the people over at the Scripts and Modding forum can help with the Race setting issue..??

Did you try "apologising for weapons fire" with any of the ships (I think you can do it from 25km in TC).

I found, on the same gamestart, that even after I had got my rep up with the Boron some ships were still hostile, but they did respond to this and turn blue.

I suspect that if you have had a close encounter (gotten within firing range or close sensor range) with any ships while in enemy mode, which you probably did it if you were working Paranid space, it sets a combat flag which stays set even after the general race rep is improved.
