X3:Reunion Manual - Steam

a) Obtaining a Police license will in itself require a reasonable status to be able topurchase one. They are only available when a race trusts you, after you haverepeatedly removed the unwelcome from their sectors.With a Police license you will then get paid for each of your kills and you will also beable to use a Freight Scanner legally, which should also provide the less honest withadditional bonuses of cargo you force smugglers to drop.It is not easy to discover a smuggler as they naturally do not advertise what they aredoing and when you have scanned a ship and you find illegal wares you can/mustask them to drop the wares.Most smugglers will be sensible and drop the illegal cargo, but some who are naturalfoes of the local race may try to avoid dropping the cargo. Sometimes when scannedthe smuggler may turn out to be a pirate. Scanning of large ships is recursive so ifillegal cargo is in a ship that is docked within another, it will still be revealed.If you are successful with scanning and in making them drop their illegal wares, youwill gain additional reputation with the local sector race.b) By accepting Xenon Taxi missions to escort shady characters, you will then have thechance to impress the locals and gain reputation at the same time, by clearing up theXenon mini-invasion you provoked by doing this mission.c) Jumping in and out of Xenon sectors and destroying Xenon ships will cause theXenon to call for replacements. As these replacements then travel through other racesectors to reach the Xenon sectors, you will then have the chance to help the localrace remove these invaders, which will benefit your recognition with them.d) You can enlist in Xenon Invasion missions that not only provide substantial Creditrewards, but they also give you the chance to improve your reputation with the locals.e) The destruction of Kha’ak clusters is a great way to improve reputation as theyprovide a reasonably large number of ships for you to gain notoriety by eliminating.f) Trading by selling goods or containers to a race will also improve your standing withthem. Setting up factories in their sectors also has the same effect.34g) Placing standard or advanced Satellites in sectors provides a very effective way tolocate Pirates and other enemies in transit. You can jump to the gate they areheading towards and make your kill or capture, increasing your fighting and racerank. For best placement of Satellites, when you enter a sector, nose-up your ship 30degrees and place well above the middle of the sector.h) Reputation can be earned by understanding the conflicts of the different races in theuniverse. If you are prepared to lose or lower your reputation with one race, you cantarget ships from their traditional enemies.Gain rank withArgonBoronParanidSplitTeladiBy killingParanid, Kha'ak, Xenon or Pirates in Argon spaceSplit, Kha'ak, Xenon or Pirates in Boron spaceArgon, Kha'ak, Xenon or Pirates in Paranid spaceBoron, Kha'ak, Xenon or Pirates in Split spaceKha'ak or Xenon in Teladi space (No rep gain for killing Pirates)
