Naonite Building Knowledge

[20spike12]

Does anyone know an easy way to obtain this because getting to 75k rep is very hard unless i don't know any easy way and the pirate sectors are way to cracked out for me to handle by myself with them having like 17+ ships. Am i supposed to make a fleet just to obtain Naonite building knowledge or is there something im missing

I accidentally found an easy way to get building knowledge, but it relies on luck.

Fly into a pirate area and do nothing to keep them neutral. Wait until a faction sends a fleet to fight the pirates. The last pirate that gets destroyed will drop the building knowledge item and you can pick it up.

I always get build knowlege from pirates, because i always discover pirates sector before fraction.
One titanium armored ship with 5-6 bolters can clean up pirate sector.
10 bolters can kill single pirate ship in one burst.
Kill pirates in titanium zone, loot more bolters and systems and repeat until you can eliminate pirates in naonite.

Other way is get rep by sell/by resource in resource depot. Every resource depot have cap +10k.
Sell 50k iron - buy 50k until recieve +10k rep. Fly in other depo and repeat.

fry around to yellow dots, sometimes you will find easy enough pirates that still give the knowledge.

If your struggling to kill the pirates with your current ship, there are some good designs in the workshop that will be more than able to survive the onslaught. You could also completely upgrade your current ship to titanium if you havent done so already.

Torpedos can also be a godsend now that theres such an abundance of them, and most ships wont really have much in the way of PDCs in that region. You shouldnt need a fleet, depending on your difficulty ofcourse, but bolters definitely do wonders early game.

Just remember that you can always fly away in the sector for some minor regeneration if need be. If your ship is fast enough, you can make them stop following you if you can get 100km-ish away. Not sure if leaving the sector affects the knowledge drop chance or not.

You can instantly get enough rep with any faction by helping them defend a sector from another faction invading it. So jump around along faction borders, or hang out in smuggler systems until it happens. You don't have to kill anything, you just pick a side and you are done.
