So I decided to give a stiff salute to my home faction military officers when I encounter them, and not just enemy ones. I am losing rep with the home faction each time I do this.
Bug, or am I being interpreted as mocking them?
I'm a military officer too, if that matters. I could see it if they didn't like it from Pirate-me and Smuggler-me, but MO-me?

Reputation Loss is caused by hostility being below -1.
Stiff Salute ends the combat, but doesn't adjust hostility.

So I am still better off Acknowledging/Retreating from them, it seems.

Possibly. I think it depends on the encounter. I think that Talent is less interesting if it also adjusts hostility.
It would be simpler, but less nuanced.

Ok, just curious. I haven't seen a case where it gains me rep to stiff salute anybody, but it is early days yet.

Yeah, I'm just trying to explain what I know. We'll definitely have Talents that change hostility as well, so you can mix match and combine them.

athios - if you really want it good, then snag the Stiff Salute Talent and gain Rep on meeting those Military Officers [while patrolling]. Reputation Loss is caused by hostility being below -1. I haven't seen a case where it gains me rep to stiff salute anybody, but it is early days yet. Hmm, so I'm a bit confused. So if you have < -1 Hostility, then Stiff Salute allows you to avoid a ship combat, but you still get -Rep. Since the Talent doesn't affect Hostility rating, is there any point to using it when Hostility is ≥ -1? Does the +Rep effect only come into play when encountering MO while patrolling? |

Reputation Loss is caused by hostility being below -1. Stiff Salute ends the combat, but doesn't adjust hostility.  Then the text here is wrong, and needs adjusting. |

can be used to get a hostile Military Captain to temporarily turn a blind eye?

Took minor bug #3540 to fix the text of Stiff Salute. Thanks! Fixed for next. "Regardless of Hostility, a respectful, proper military salute ends an encounter with a Draw; Reputation penalties may still apply" |
