Thanks again for the heads up regarding Zoner reps etc. I restarted my character and transferred some money back, i made a loss on my conference ship but am steadily clawing it back again with a much brighter future (rep).
I am quite unsure regarding the ship types for each faction and have made a bit of a boob regarding my Zoner ID. I've bought a Kamome which has dropped my power to 10%, i dont intend on keeping this long however and am reading through the wiki trying to understand what i've done wrong, jeez things have changed since i last played
