With 'Credibility Seals', earned by running certain missions for certain factions, you can restore your reputation from Hostile to Neutral. How does it work? Find a Global Information Network (GIN) console in one of the trading stations (planet or orbit). Access the console and contact an ambassador of any faction and use your earned credibility seals to improve your standing. Notes: - For each step from hostile to unfriendly and unfriendly to neutral, one seal is consumed. - You cannot improve your reputation with the faction beyond neutral with the faction credibility seals, though. - You can earn seals by completing credibility missions. Some story missions and quests (if available for this faction) offer them as well. IMPORTANT: You need to have the seals in your inventory to successfully complete your request!
I have some weird and conflicting issues with this and I hope I articulate them halfway decently. Accidents happen and it's awfully easy to destroy a faction. It's nice to have these. Here are my primary considerations: The terminals you have to turn them in at are usually in places you need faction to be in. The problem with this is sefl-evident. I need faction to safely go in and salvage my faction. It would be better to get a minor quest from a neutral NPC instead, in my opinion. I have way too many of them. A minor nuisance, but I'm afraid to get rid of them because their very existence makes me fear I'll need them frequently, lol. I posted about IDA being made more useful, I think this is one of those places. When you destroy a faction, she should name the NPC who can fix it and give you a quest marker/ quest/ put it into the F1 journal... something. Rather than the current system where it's kind of like, "what is this? Oh, okay, whatever." followed up by, "How do I even use this?"
TBH? It is hard to come by some of them. Like for instance the pirates one... Really? my only option is to make myself enemies of 3 other faction just to be neutral with the pirates? Not worth it. But according to a key mission I need to be neutral with them scumbags... Oh, and to get one you already have to be neutral at least... because otherwise you cannot start the faction reputation mission... great job All and all I would like these stuff. Maybe the useless traders who has them as stock could make some money on them to sell me... instead of sitting on them without option to sell or buy thnx
