AP: Can't dock at Boron stations anymore? Did I break something? (Newb here)
Ok take a look at this:
http://steamcommunity.com/id/aaronflint ... tab=public
My rank is Boron Trusted Courtier. I can't dock anywhere but the equipment dock and the stock exchange for some reason. I have traded in Boron space before, and haven't shot at them or anything.
What I did do is try installing some mods. I tried the Visual Overhaul and the engine trails mod. Visual Overhaul crashes my game but engine trails works fine. Does installing mods like these mess with stuff? I hope not because that doesn't make any sense (experienced with Bethesda game mods).
So, what can I do? They won't let me dock for whatever reason, and the docking computer doesn't give an explanation.

Check your current ship's friend/foe settings. It sounds like the Boron may have been inadvertently set to enemy.
Also, do you have any AI-controlled ships? Sometimes a player-owned AI ship will get attacked by a previously hostile race, set that race back to foe, then go around killing their ships which drives your reputation back down. This only occurs when the player was formerly on bad terms with the target race, though.

Admitting you have a problem is the first step in figuring out how to make it worse.
you can still dock if the IFF is set to foe.KloHunt3r wrote:Check your current ship's friend/foe settings. It sounds like the Boron may have been inadvertently set to enemy.

Just saying it forward: I give everyone 2 posts to make good, in context posts(proper english, as always, is optional). After that I'm ignoring what you have to say in that thread that's directed to what we previously were talking about.

Docking issues
Question were you involved in a fire fight in the sector where you cant land its possible you hit the stations inadvertantly ie friendly fire if so stations will turn red and you wont be able to dock this should be a local not global effect unless your rep is low try doing a few missions to regain rep and see what happens before giving up on your current progress.

I can only suggest then that on entering the sector you didnt clear out of the traffic lanes near the gate and caused some road kill. This can create the situation you describe and is easily done in the early stages of the game. and you dont have to hit them they can impact you from behind. Same effect.

Boron Stations hostile
do you have a recent save game if so use it carry on as intended but clear gate areas as quickly as possible (dont hit the gate and dont use auto pillock). I fly up clear of shipping lanes like 10 k then stop and look around. If not the only answer is to try another sector to carry on and later have hostile stations hacked back to friendly again. Other than that learn from the experience and move on.
If you think its your rep install the cheat script and choose fix sector relations or one of the options. If you are flying a mercury with little shielding and have had no hull damage you probably didn't hit another ship enough to destroy it. Check your game integrity maybe if have steam. Have you tried docking in stations in border regions ?
