So say I make a new BAF character, rep it on Molly/sair missions, maybe bribe BMM/BPA for an extra nudge, there is seemingly a high chance that IMG, a faction with bases inside Bretonia, becomes hostile to me.
There is serious issues with the reputation system in Bretonia, likely between Mollys-BMM-IMG, and short of going to a freeport or somesuch to buy a bribe, you are most likely going to be hostile to IMG, completely contrary to all sensible RP.
Can we get those relations fixed, updated to 486 RP if you will? Or at the very very least, a rephack on Bretonian ID's to force IMG Reputation to neutral.
It's annoying getting shot by IMG patrols (especially seeing as NPCs got a massive buff in formerly low level areas) and bases which are on patrol routes (Omega 3 for example).
BMM has a negative empathy to IMG, so a BMM bribe will affect your rep with IMG. As to the Mollies - I don't think there's a direct rep link, unless you're running missions from the BMM against Mollies.
I've already done a massive rework of the empathy and NPC faction relations, which will be rolled out in update 4.

I've newly made a BAF character in 486, and for whatever reason, it becomes red to IMG, simply from BAF missions against Mollys, Corsairs and Gaians.
I'm glad empathy is getting fixed, because it's quite broken in Bretonia at the moment. IMG should definitely not have any empathy towards criminals if that is the case, and is there perhaps something related to the BAF ID, making IMG near-hostile with a rep fix? If that is the case, I'd suggest it changed to flat neutral.
I'll check, but I think I tucked on a minor positive empathy between BAF and IMG, which should fix the issue. Will also doublecheck the empathy between Mollies and IMG, which shouldn't be big. Corsairs/IMG has a negative empathy (which means shooting Sairs makes IMG happy).
There is no rephack between BAF and IMG in the flhook configuration.
[Edit] Checked. In the new setup: BAF missions will give slight positive empathy for IMG, but destroying Molly NPCs will give a slight negative rep adjustment. It should even out. Shooting Sair NPCs will give a slight positive rep adjustment for IMG (and shooting outcasts a much larger one, but I'm not sure the BAF is into hunting OC actively).
