I speak from a junker standpoint alone, I dont have any clue what other factions are effected by this... but so far it's caused me nothing but problems.
I can no longer effectively traverse any of the tau systems due to fleets upon fleets of fricken battleships firing at me. Why exactly were we made hostile to the KNF? Hogosha, fine. Kusari corporations, fine. Farmer's Alliance, fine. But military targets tend to not fire on civilians unless they're deemed a military threat, or are breaking some form of law. Junker ships flying through the tau systems are neither.
Further, why is it that you went through all this trouble to get us screwed over by the KNF, but couldnt even have the rep change put us at neutral with gallic lawfuls like we should be? I'm getting shot at by people that have no motive, and cant even stand on neutral footing with someone who's supposed to be my ally?
And on that note, why do all the junker bases in gallia offer bribes for the criminal/unlawful factions? I can pick up bribes for the Union Corse, Council, Maquis, and Brigands from nearly any junker base in gallia... when in-RP all of those factions except the Council are supposed to be blood red hostile to us, and the council neutral at best? Shouldnt we have a few bribes for the Royal Police, EFL, IDF, and GMS instead?

its called balancing. it stops you from gaining power beyond the game's intended limits.
I think the intent is to make sure lawfuls are not green or neutral with unlawful bases ... ie: BHG hanging out near unlawful bases and not getting fired upon ... and the same with unlawfuls hanging out near Manhattan without being fired upon.
The trouble comes with the neutrals ... Junkers technically are neutral ... except they are enemies with corporations (their competition). But I agree ... Junkers are neutral with the house militaries, police, etc.
The Kusari "government"--a.k.a. "players"--are predominantly criminal and have shaped Kusari politics along the lines they like. The developers have allowed thier Rp to determine the Rp for all of Kusari and the development has been increasing hostility to Junkers finally brimming over to governmental declaration of them as "state criminals". Take advantage of it and play to the strengths for Junkers in it (there are some).
Both criminal AND lawful bribes are available on Junker bases--you just have to be patient and not have a drop-dead-red rep perhaps with the faction you want the bribe from.
It is fairly balanced and a Junker base is about the only place in Rp in Gallia where such a bribe would be possible. Each other side is too extreme to toerate enemy representatives on their own bases.
You can bypass the warzone almost completely by using Edinburgh as your entry point to Tau to reach Orkney.
It would be nice to neuter all Gallic reps for Junkers.
Maybe the autorepping needs better balancing, I dunno, but its necesary. You arent going to keep the 'justice system' running if everyone is expected to work 2 days on their rep to fix it so they dont get reported on by some *******, while other *******s are allowed to do anything they want with it because they are better at lawyering.
To me, it seems logic that military will be less friendly to semi-legal junk peddlers that spend more time pirating and smuggling drugs than actually collecting junk, than freelancers and corporations will. If your old way of doing things doenst work anymore, find a new way. Its waht you expect of everyone else. If military shoot at you while oyu are doing your stuff, stay out of their face. Its possible.

Not in gallia, patience has nothing to do with it. The proper bribes are not there.
