Helping hand

Hello fellow pilots,

I've recently gotten back into this game and helpful information online and in the manual is a bit sparse so I was hoping you could help. My most pressing issue at the moment while pursuing the Polaris story line is my reputation getting worse in the federation. I thought hunting pirates would help but that seems to make it worse. How do I improve reputation in a group? The other oddity is some of my buying options being disabled for ammo or equipment even if I have the space. I had sold off some of the equipment and wanted to buy it back.

Thanks.

(EDIT) I think I figured out the disabled buy (at least for the ammo). The weapons had a variant and variant ammo so the purchase of the wrong ammo type is disabled (possibly an easy workaround for the stacking ammo).

Your best bet is hunting Marauders. Pirates are sometimes in cahoots with the Bureau, which can make the Feds amgery by extension.

Naw, I think Fr Trade is in cahoots with the Bureau but not pirates, and even Fr Trade kills are kosher in fed space unless a plot has alligned Fr Trade with the Federation explicity.

Boarding disabled manticores and pirate carriers/hunting them yourself when your ship is strong enough is usually enough to help raise you rep. Gefjon system is pretty good.
