A quick question for those who have completed the fabled Freelancer Tag process: Once you get Freelancers up to fully green, how do you go about dropping BHG and Zoner (the only factions linked to Freelancer rep) down without messing up the FL rep? BHG missions add to FL reputation, so wouldn't canceling them lower FL reputation? Can't hunt BHG NPCs without screwing it up. Get an unlawful bribe to annoy the BHG? And with Zoners, I suppose the only way is to kill GMG and/or Order NPCs?
lower bounties -> accept and cancel theier missions
lower bounties guard -> shoot Bounties guard in their guard system
lower zoners -> shoot order and GMG
If u shoot bountie npcs, u will lower FL rep; but if u shoot Bounties GUARD npcs, it doesnt lower FL!!
If u are 9 bars green with Freelancers, and have a bounties tag, lower all other factions first, that u are 9 bars green with.
' Wrote:As to the question of getting Freelancer rep:
Zoner bribes do well. The more boxes of Zoner rep you get up from bribes, also raises your Freelancer rep even more.
However, you can also take Bounty Hunter bribes. After getting both Zoner and BH bribe, get to Sheffield station in Manchester, and do BH missions like mad.
Eventually, your Zoner rep will go down, but don't worry, your FL rep will still increase because of the BH missions.
After you got the Freelancer rep maxxed, more often than not, you'll have the BH tag, so kill a few Bounty Hunter ships, and LPI ships if you've been doing lots of killing Lane Hacker ships missions.
Now, your FL rep won't be maxxed anymore, since you killed several BH ships, but, don't despair. Over the course of your BH missioning galore, your Zoner rep will have gone down. All you have to do, to finish the tag, is to get a Zoner bribe.
Take it from someone who has setup 3 Freelancer tagged, IDed, RPed characters, one of them being my sig.
Wait, if you do BHG missions, then won't your rep with criminals be really hostile too? how do you raise your criminal rep so that it's neutral? kill police so that you end up raising criminal rep while lowering police rep?

Well, generally you'll either be fully hostile to the entire Outcast alliance, but highly green for the Corsairs and Friends, or the other way around. My character is getting a Freelancer tag to prepare for the Vigilante ID when the next mod version is released, so I want the unlawfuls to be hostile.
If you really wanted neutrality, after getting a FL tag a careful selection of unlawful bribes would fix things.
