X4 progression stopping bug : losing rep with allied factions from there pirate attacks - Fix coming in 1.50

[Dwoz]

Version Eng 1.32
Im losing Rep with all my allied Factions , because there pirates are attacking my freighters an station defense patrols , my faction rep is between 10+ an 21+ , i jumped on for a game today an within 20 seconds my rep was 0 an almost the entire sector turned on me an attacked everything i have there .

Please add this to the priority pile along with the turret fix , mission fix , hotkey/pathway fix an the ships bumping through every wall on a station fix an the ship/auto pilot intelligence fix an all others . PLEASSSSSSSSE ! im trying to hang in there , i really am , i LOVE the X games , but with ALL the little bugs turning X4 into one big cluster F### , this is just unplayable right now .

I am getting so sick of this too. I went from +10 with Ministry of Interior to -13 in 30 sec because Pirates hit my auto trader. He even dropped the loot but they attacked and killed anyway. How the heck do I get such a hit! I may have to quit until this gets fixed. 2nd play through being ruined by the same bug! 124 Hours flushed down the toilet. and now because -13 I can't fix the rep!

This is a nasty one, aye. I think this is the reason for it:

They change random some pilots into pirate, but those are still tied to their station. You don't loose any faction, if you kill some pirate, which isn't tied to a station.

the rest of the bugs i can put up with and or work around until they fix them , but this pirate faction rep lose one is a progression stopper an needs to be at the top of the fix pile .

i just read in another post that they think the cause is from pirates taking ships from your allied factions , an after there taken , the ship ID an ownership isn't transferring properly to be properly ID'd as PIRATE , so the ship is still owned by a allied faction but flown by a pirate . this of cause doesn't help us for a workaround , but may help identifying the issue faster.

After losing some HAT/MIN rep from one of my ships attacking a pirate, I set my global response to pirate attacks to escape.

And so far, it seems to have completely avoided me losing any more rep.

I did the same after this happened too often. It works so far, but its still bugged as you cannot defend yourself properly. Yesterday I was near a trader who got attacked and fled and it really kills the fun that I cannot help and kill the pirate or that no police/other NPCs come to help.

This and the storage bug getting fixed, I'd say we would be in a good shape for the holliday and new year untill the office reopens.
Everything else so far we can work around one way or another, but these 2 are out of our control.

I second that.

[Dwoz]

yeah totally agree.
