DO NOT ACCEPT LASER TOWER DESTRUCTION MISSIONS!!!!

[Ericmor]

Hatikva´s Free League faction is completely bugged, terrible implemented in the game.
If you accept a mission to take out laser towers, your reputation with them drop to bellow -14 or less as the laser towers belong to THEM, and they start to show red on you.
The mass traffic on their stations do not generate enemies, so you can´t recover standings with them that way, their sector´s are patrolled by Argon and when you kill Xenon or Khaak on their sector (Hatikva´s choice only) you only gain standing with the ARGON, not with Hatikva.
Scanning their stations and accept pirate assassination missions simply don´t change your standings with them (but will drop your standings with the target´s faction).
And if you decide to accept them as an enemy and go to war, you can´t attack them in other factions territories as it will be seen as an act of aggression against civilians and the police will be all over you (this doesn´t happen against Scale Plate Pact, this pirate faction works OK).
So, in short, Hatikva´s free league was badly implemented in the game and will only give headache´s to your standings in laser tower destruction missions, so BE WARNED.

This is why you should never trust a pirate.

Missions penalizing your rep to other "fair" factions is why I don't take some of the missions in the game. I'm just a merc, take it up with the guy who paid me. Seriously though, aside from novelty, why would anyone take missions that can strip away your license in the other faction? This is why I prefer combat missions. Well used to, at least, when it existed in the game.

Yeah, missions that make you lose rep with other factions should be under guild missions. Or at least straight up tell you who placed the stuff there.

My problem is why are they friends with the argon???

I captured, blew up and annoyed the hell out of the Paranids from HOP, made millions out of capital ship captures, but their station traffic ALWAYS generate enemy NPCs to shot at and regain standings, so after all those barbarities i´m still at 12+ standing with them.
This does NOT happen with those %¨$#*@ from Hatikva: they act like a legitimate faction to which you CAN´T raise your standings no matter what you do, are protected by the Argons and all other goverment factions, and anything wrong you do in their space reflect only in Argon standings.
I doubt that´s on purpose, since this stupidity do not happens with the Scale Plate Pact Faction, which you can hunt down as much as you want without the local goverment protecting them.
That´s a clear buggy implementation, one that egosoft is ignoring for laughs.
