How to SETA REP with PAR and SPL in one day?

Post by InDigital » Fri, 27. Jan 23, 07:45

Good day to ALL! :)

Is it possible to set REP to 30 with Paranid and Split factions both in single day?
I hava SETA and lots of money and lots of destroyers and lots of Asgards and other defences...

What would be the plan? :D
Or is it impossible? :/

All you need are small s traders doing micro transactions for you in each and all sectors. Every single trade commits to the reputation, no matter the amount / profit.

That's for building up +30 rep.

Your Asgards and destroyers come into play if you need -30 :P

Getting from -15 to -9 is easy. Just kill some criminals or Xenon around there stations. Or do mission that don't require you to dock, like repairing satellites.

I never tried one thing...
Maybe I should split my Fleet to Two Fleets and let them patrol Split and Paranid sectors?

Unfortunately you can't passively improve your rep with fleets defending faction territory. Only if you pilot the ship yourself both the fame (repuation gain) and the reward (credits with police license) is granted. Thus I recommended trading.

For your -15 rep problem (not included in the OP btw) see the answer of TheDeliveryMan

Shoot 5-6 criminal mass traffic ships near their stations to unlock the ability to trade with them.

Then use repeat order scout ships to sell 1 Energy Cell at a time to their shipyards or wharves. You can use multiple such ships to gain reputation faster. After a few thousand trades you should be at 30 reputation.

Just to add my recent experience to what others have already said, I went from -15 to +20 in less than a day with SPL and TER (on an Argon start) by shooting criminals on their stations. Shoot one, then boost to another nearby station, and repeat that process. In less than an hour you'll be high enough rep to get station building missions. Take those and build the defense stations they ask for (or whatever) and that will boost your rep a lot. I usually do one or two of them, then go back to shooting criminals until +20. And this was all without using SETA.

I don't remember exactly, but it took around 20 criminals to go from +19 to +20, I might have had a build mission in there too. Shooting criminals is surprisingly effective and reliable even from 19 to 20. I usually also build a factory or two that fills a need so I'm getting passive rep from the trades. Just look at trades on their wharfs (wharves?) and see what things they're paying substantially above average prices on with lots of buy orders and produce that. Though I guess chew-ie mentioned it's only about the amount of trades not the value, so even that's overkill but it's still good passive income too.

The only tough part is getting to +27 so you can teleport to all of their stations. That always takes me quite a while and the best way is as others mentioned, through lots of trading. Setup all the trading stuff then go about your normal business of doing other things and you'll get there in a few days.

Also, I noticed I get a lot of rep from killing Ks and Is that are attacking their infrastructure. Look around on your map for the "vibrating" station icon indicating the station is being shot. Send a scout there and if there's a solo K shooting their station, go there and take it out yourself (as other have mentioned you won't get credit if you send your fleet there OOS to kill it, you want to be the one with the killing blow). You'll get 200-300k (maybe more) plus a nice rep boost. That should be pretty easy to do with PAR and SPL, especially SPL, since at least in the majority of my saves Zyarth is getting slapped hard on their frontage with the Xenon (usually from Matrix #79B->Tharka's Cascade and Matrix #598/Rhys Defiance).

Just edit your rep in save file if you wanna just use seta… save yourself some time and energy costs.

If you are lucky, you may encounter "Kill criminal traffic"-missions or escort missions against Khaak. Even one mission and the kills you get, can catapult your rep from -15 to +10 in minutes. Can confirm, because I play terran cadet start, which starts at -15 with almost all factions.

Use S fighter with minimum storage like Takoba and build a small trading station beside their shipyard and wharf. Set the trading station's sell price to the minimum and only sell the that faction in that sector.
Use your large trader ships to fill the trading station's cargo with repeat orders.

Sounds like official cheating! :)
But thanks for information.
