What are my options with FAF?

[fanmagnus]

I borrowed a rattlesnake from FAF against their wishes and now they are -12 to me. I read that they will keep building ships even though they have no stations, so I can't exactly wipe them out unless I destroy all other split factions' shipyards (so no split can ever build ship again, which is not ideal). Alternatively, I can do missions for them from data leaks to raise rep to finally turn them blue again. But I've been searching for those missions in FRF territory and they are all from civilians, criminals or even SCA. Is it because my rep is below -10 so they will never offer me any jobs anymore? If so, what can I do with these guys so they can stop annoying me with red rattlesnakes all over the place?

You could go down the split plotline which will convert FRF shipyard and wharf to another faction (whose depend on who you support).

FAF only build from FRF and if they don't have any wharf and shipyard then they can't exactly build more ships.

Thanks. Does it matter which side I take in this case?

I'll have to grind rep with FRF to 20 so I can get access to their capital ships in order to get rid of their own shipyard then...

it doesn't really matter who you support.
Either option you take will make the split less vulnerable to the Xenon and the plans for Split ship can still be obtain from the new faction or ZYA.

Awesome. I was afraid I might have to encourage the unification of rival factions which RP wise doesn't make a lot of sense. Thanks for the help!

What are the pre-requisites for starting the split storyline? It's been a while since i played but i dont recall having any split faction story missions. I did get the cut scene early on, and have a sizable factory in split space to reinforce vs the Xenon.

I just hope you don't run into the same bug with the split mission I have. When I dock on the slave trader ship the game does not recognise this and I can't proceed.

If you're at -12 it is pretty easy to get things moving in the right direction. Get in a small courier ship (they won't shoot you in trade vessels till -20). Fly to their stations and hover near the dock and wait till you see criminals (the tiny red ships). Shoot those for +1 rep, move to the next station, do it again. They spawn pretty quickly. After twice then you're at -10 and you can start doing missions again.

This is the FAF which has no stations....

It should be possible to take criminal missions from them from FRF stations, so raising their rep isn't completely impossible. But it would be pointless, they are pirates so they will attack you regardless of rep if your ships have cargo.
