How do I get initiation with Cephalon Suda?

[Rokk]

My friends can talk to Cephalon Suda and get the syndicate/initiation screen. When I talk to her, all I get is a quest related to Octavia. I cannot get the initiation or syndicate/standing screen.

When I go to Cephalon Suda in my ship in the syndicates screen, it says I haven't visited the representative yet. When I go visit them, I just get the same line of dialogue.

How do I get initiation?

Syndicates unlock at mr3. Simply using the syndicate console in your ship and choosing the suda syndicate will give you the option to become an initiate.

I'm mastery rank 9. I already aligned myself with 3 other factions just now because Suda was not an option, but thanks anyway. No idea why cephalon suda was unable to be aligned with, but I no longer care. Still sucks though.

When you align with each syndicate they will have friends and an enemy and the more missions you do the more te enemy syndicate will hate you. If they hate you too much they won’t align.

Three factions is about the most you can maintain. Two friendly factions is easy. Three will have some friction (ie doing some missions will produce friction and negative standing with another.)

Four is possible by minmax players but very complicated to maintain due to much negative standing and the need for sigils and high MR to offset it.

You can trade syndicate offerings though, so if you can find a player with the opposite syndicate to you you can swap items.

You can also build enough standing to change syndicates, but it will mean annoying one of your own enough they break off with you.

Oh... if you do want to give up one of your syndicates for Suda, go to a standard relay on the star map. They have syndicate rooms there for all six syndicates where you can talk to representative, trade medallions for standing etc. If Suda will talk to you at all, they’ll be there.
