Hi Gamers, I´m playing ST for some days now but i don´t really get the role which plays the >area< in which im having a "Contact in Deep Space" and attacking an enemy ship. (With <area> i mean a faction´s influence area, where you get the message "...space controlled by Faction_xy. They are probably watching.) Would be glad if someone could help out with an explanation  Big Thanks in Advantage! |

The Role of Faction Space in the eyes off:
The Carrot Stick floated in orbit as Rabid Rabbit finished negotiations with a Javat Captain by name of Arnis
" ... and you will escort us through the "gulch" for ..." the man checked his figures in disbelief, "5,000 credits?"
"Yes, the Picky Beggar is going through the area anyways. If you want to tag along with us. 5,000 credits should cover it nice and easy."
The Javat ship master stared for a moment and finally shrugged, "Alright then. I'll have my second talk to yours to finalize the contract, Captain Arid."
"Pleasure. Picky Beggar out." Rabid Rabbit turned off the link and leaned back with a grin. "This is going to work."
Bonnie couldn't hold his peace, "Where the hell did you come up with a name like ARID? It sounds like a climate control setting."
"It's A.R.I.D. It means "A Rabbit In Disguise"
Bonnie coughed, "That is corny as hell."
Rabid Rabbit shrugged.
"So, we're now doing escorts?"
"We sure are. Once we set out, our techs will hack into their system and they won't know were the hell we're taking them.
Bonnie nodded, "Ah, we're going to rob them blind."
Rabid looked at him, "Um... no. We are going to escort that ship for 5,000 credits. Captain Arid has an impeccable reputation and I want to keep that alter ego nice and clean. The Javat will reach her destination."
"I don't follow the math here, captain. We'll use up more in fuel then the credits we get for the escort."
"We're going to go through the heart of Rychart space. Maybe stop at the capital for some chow."
Bonnie rubbed his temple. In a deadpan resigned voice, the steady officer replied, "Javat and Rychart are in the middle of a solar war, Captain."
The Mad Rabbit smirked, "Are they now? What a coincidence."

That's a good question. Prehaps increased rep penalty if your attacking a ship of that facton or of a faction that is allienced with that faction? And increased rep bonus for atacking a ship of a faction at war with that faction?
I also don't get why it says after I defeat an Independent ship that destroying it will earn the ire of the Independents. You can't lose rep with Independents. Same with Aliens.

Faction Space: Can be survalanced for Records
Higher chance of being patrolled by said factions ships
I believe in a solar war that factions enemy has a higher chance of appearing
I still don't know what "They might be watching " means. Perhaps violent action increases chance of military encounters no matter who you attack.
And lmao Rabid ;D
