Split Plot, can the Cabal of Curbs reputation be increased afterwards?

[ralfaltmann]

Hi,

I did the split plot and stayed with the patriarchy. Now Cabal of Curbs reputation is at -30. Is there any chance to get it upwards again?

Regards

any cub station with illegal transport.. like any other faction.

You mean destroying the small transport vessels around the stations? Not easy with -30, because the station itself will fire on me...

Faction Reps CANT BE IMPROVED after a certain point. try to max all reps you want as early as possible as game progress will eventually lock out ability to increase rep. missions and enemies will not spawn thus preventing you from any means of rep increase. long story short, devs need to put in machanism for rep increase that is availible at all times not just early game. by mid game rep is locked and cant be changed

Yes OP, I sided with Patriarchy too and now curbs are friendly in the 20's. It is a bit tricky at first but you an do it.

This is flat out false.

This is false.

OP you can still increase CUB rep even if you side with Patriarchy. For me it stalled low but I didn't try that hard to get it up and eventually put out a galaxy wide BOLO for CUB ships/stations and then killed them all.

if you can find a turret blindspot you might be able to survive getting some transports, otherwise I guess try killing some of theri enemies within "witness" view of their stations?

i see no evidence of this being false in my game. Rep is frozen and cant be improved. Killing enemies does NOT improve rep after a point. not sure what game yall are playing but it doesnt sound like the x4 ive been playing.

[freeski305]

funny, I wiped all CUB from game and rep still stuck at -13.

@freeski305
before you report valid answers as lies you might want to try how the two you've reported actually achieved a rep increase.

i can assure you, you can totally fine increase even a -30 reputation back to normal levels, given you spend sufficient time and the right strategy.

Hello,

thank you all for your answers. I'll give the blind spot a try - maybe I'm lucky and can survive long enough... :D

It might seem like you can't come back from -30, but if it's a faction that you can actually increase relations with, then you can go from -30 to 30.

I think the confusion comes from this (here's my own guess work); I think that relation levels at the lower/higher ends require more than those levels closer to 0.
Eg the "points" needed to go from 0 to 5 is less than the "points" needed to go from 25-30* and the same with O to -5 and -25 to -30.
