No Taurian Concordat missions?

[Rossman]

I've been flying around Taurian Territory looking for missions but nothing except Federated Suns missions seem to spawn. It's been something like 5 different systems so far. Is this normal?

[HandyVac]

If you continue playing the story misssions you'll discover that, spoiler: The Taurians are secretly allied with your big enemy, so you've been figting against them all along

So yes, this is entirely normal.

[Rossman]

So there is no way to raise my rep with them, it's acually pointless to try?

[Mohrrunkel]

Ofc there is, just finish the campaign.

Reputation is fairly meaningless over all anyways.

[Madkine]

You can get Taurian missions once you finish the storyline campaign.

Kind of need it to unlock the higher faction missions though, but by the time you finish the campaign, you should have gotten most of the rep you need.

Until the plot is complete, you can't do some factions.

So glad I found this thread, I'm on my first playthrough of the game and this was driving me crazy. I didn't want to piss off the Taurians and get locked out of their shops because at this point their the only faction with high tech planets that I can travel to (all the others have travel restriction), so I was looking to increase my reputation with them but couldn't find any missions for them. Now I understand and I can stop obsessing.

Rezzing an old thread to ask a followup question:
Is there any point in keeping your rep with the Taurians neutral during the campaign so as not to be locked out of working for them afterward?
Or do you get some kind of "reset" if you've totally pissed them off to -100 by the time the campaign is over?

If you screw over the Taurians in the story campaign you can forget about becoming allies. The easiest way to get Taurian allied is to play career mode.

Finish the campaign... then go to the back of beyond, just outside Taurian territory. There you'll find the really low skull missions that the angry Taurians will allow you to do. Move the sliders all the way to the bottom so you get the worst payout and salvage but best rep reward. Grind a dozen of those and you'll be able to do more and more higher skull missions for them. Keep maxxing rep and you'll be allied fairly fast.

You can do this with any faction. The one exception being that if you break an alliance, it takes a full year of in-game time before you can ally with that faction again.

I think Shinobi273 is right.
After finish the stoty campaign i visited every planet that displayed missions for the Taurians,
but i only can do missions with a maximum of 2 skulls for them and there are only missions with at least 3 skulls on the entire map.

I had the same issue. I just decided to replay the campaign cause I did take a lot of hits on them *thinking* I could patch it later. Nope. The lowest I’ve seen was 3 skulls and at hated you’re basically locked out as far as I can see. Which seems a major oversight for such an otherwise detailed game.

I just was going through Taurian space and ran into a similar issue. I went through a couple sustems, and made a point of taking missions that are NOT Taurian and when infound a couple T missions i turned money and salvage all the way down, i think i have done 4 like that from absolute lowest possible rep, and now i have store access. They still are total a-holes to me but i have options in their area now and it will improve; already has and pretty quickly.

Well we need a little variety - shooting Capellans is fun but a change is like a holiday!
