    If you mean the original standings in live, man i dont even have a clue for PW, my main profession.

    I cant find any info on original faction standings. Like i said above, the sheer dearth of factional information outside of the charts is mind boggling. I guess thats what happens when a game is buried and forgotten about for 10 years.

    All i see are ranges and charts for what killing faction X did to faction Y. As far as Profession X starts with 5000Z faction, its simply not out there. Ill try a deeper search later, but im not too optimistic

    Yeah I was thinking like a few level 50-75 missions to start for maybe 100 or 200 faction each and then it keeps progressing upward. Sorta like the idea of a hull upgrade bonus mission that you could only do once, but gave a good chunk relative to your level.

    Say something like...

    Tier 1/Level 30 missions (5 available) - 100 faction each (500)
    Tier 2/Level 50 missions (3 available) - 200 faction each (600) requires completion of T1
    Tier 3/Level 75 missions (2 available) - 300 faction each (600) requires completion of T2
    Tier 4/Level 100 mission (1 available) - 500 faction T3 pre-req
    Tier 5/Level 135 mission (1 available) - 1000 faction + a decent item. T4 pre-req
    Final/ Level 150 mission (1 available) - 1500 faction + some nice unique/maybe even uber item reward for doing all 13 missions successfully


    So total bonus for doing the whole questline would be 4700 RD faction, a nice item or two and prolly experience for each mission. It doesnt guarantee BBW access when youre done, but mix it up with some jobs and chavez killing and youve really gotten somewhere, even for progen.

    HU30 also and no 150. 10/30/50/75/100/135 and yes 10 did give you faction. Basically the way it worked out was youd end up well over 10000 on whichever faction you affiliated with

    Home faction went up to 12000 or so depending on profession. The actual maxfaction in live was 15000. So when you finished all your ranks and so on you were usually like 12000 home and 8000-10000 with the other two of your race, give or take. Typically Progens and Jenquais were low-neutral to each other, and terrans usually friendly to both around the 4 or 5k level.

    I did some poking around and ill add some other faction things i found in my research. Its amazing how little info there actually is on EnB faction, even archived, other than the charts.

    For a max of 9999 id say that would be fair 5 or 6 times 500

    I dont disagree on that point, and in fact i was seeing chavez faction in the net7 website but it doesnt show in game. i havent checked since the fixes to the mess but it was there before


    Edit: Its still showing in the net7 faction tab on my toons 4 Chavez -8,440

    I am almost done with the tutorial, I actually created a new PW to do this and am going to do my HU10 as I type this. I have about 10-15 screenshots and a very long notepad file of text. Should I just post the raw info here?

    Edit: All done. Where do you want it, here or your inbox?

    The idea behind this is that there are really only three ways to get RD faction in this game. You either start with a JD or JS and just have RD faction from go, you kill about 1000 chavez for hours/days, or you do about 1000 jobs out of the terminals which would take weeks.

    I am proposing a content mission set, based out of say an NPC on some out of the way station that gives ascendingly difficult tasks, probably long in nature (on the same level as the 30 and 50 HU missions) that award chunks of faction on completion.

    Im not talking about 1 little mission for 100 points that you would repeat, im talking about a full "themepark" style series of missions, say 10-15 of them that would take a while to do, but still be worth doing as an alternative to sitting in glenn massacring blood initiates all day long.

    Say something like smuggling data disks, obtaining rare ores, fighting various mobs, intercept a convoy of agrippa ships, scan some nav you have to figure out the location of via a clue chain, solve a password puzzle like the aspiration mission to decrypt secret TadaO research, and so on. The possibilities for what the missions could be for is pretty endless, but the point would be that youd get large factional rewards for doing them. Say uncommon blacksun equipment at low levels +100 faction points and maybe rarer stuff +500 faction for the top tier chains.

    The idea being that you could earn through actual content that isnt a total grind, several thousand faction points as you get in deeper with the red dragons, essentially becoming one of them by virtue of working for them as versus mass mindless shieldnova of swarms of chavez for no other reason. (especially for professions that dont have AoE omgz mass murder like any non PW/PP)

    I know the idea is very skeletal, but id love to discuss it, in light of the factional changes we all had yesterday and the sheer grind of refactioning toons that were neutral etc before.


    What do you all think? Im down to discuss all sorts of ideas, maybe the devs will dig it.

    I wonder if the display is outputting the earthcorps faction as your chavez faction, because according to the net7 site my chavez faction is now also -3191. Its almost as if EC is sorta mirroring the chavez once you kill one. Weird weird bug.

    My EC faction is in fact tanked tho, player TEs are showing up as red to me again.

    The EarthCorps bug is still in.

    See screen. Kill a chavez, tank faction to -3000 immediate, every kill thereafter drops you more, remember you fixed me back to +9999 Zack? This was after I read your above post about the fix.
