Ok, so I still have a few questions I thought someone could answer:
1) How do I know which faction bots are from? The all say (Pirate) but some dont attack me and others do. Is this a result of my standing with their faction? Lets say I get Corvus Prime to love me. Will the s17 bots leave me alone? Or are they independent of that system?
2) As a Neutral, will being liked by Serco make Itani dislike me? And does a higher standing change things like weapons prices, cargo prices, etc?
3) Can anyone else sell me weapons/ships besides my nation? I mean, if Axia really likes me will they sell me a vult (even though i could not buy it in my home sector)?
4) Does the Black Market have any negative consequences? There is never a thing saying "Faction x standing decreased slightly" or whatever. And how could I sell ships and weapons to the Market?
Thanks, and sorry for anoying anyone in-game with questions : )

1. thwy will attack as usual, bots are independetd due to standing
2. you might be loved by all three nations at once
3. nope.. you need to have proper licenses (exception: flares and specials in s18)
4. nope.. there isn't any consquences for that

Arolte: AFAIK you only need certain level of trading (less than 5) to get batteries, but you also need their corresponding combat levels (5, 7, 9 I thinK)
Don't know about engines.

ok, heres the list, try to keep up everyone

stuff you can get from botting, (this starts at lvl 3 cause i cant remember that far back to keep track of exactly what levels i got what)

by level 3/3/3/x, you should have:
centurian, warthog, stingrays, yellowjackets, phased blasters, light engine, light battery.
4/3/x/x vulture
x/4/x/x gemini's
x/x/4/x plasma cannon
5/x/x/x medium battery
x/5/x/x railgun? (i think thats where i got it)
7/x/x/x heavy engine
x/7/x/x sunflares (only in certain stations)
8/x/x/x heavy battery
x/8/x/x tachyons? (i think)
9/x/x/4 FC battery
x/9/x/x gravitons? (i think)
x/x/9/x advanced gatling turret
10/10/10/? prometheous
12/x/x/x valkarie

trade related stuff
1/x/x/1 wraith, eff engine
x/x/x/4 atlas, med engine
x/x/4/6 prox mines
x/x/x/7 centaur
x/x/7/9 L-Mines
x/?/x/11 marauder (you might need some other skill for this, i'm not totally sure, I think you need 9 light for maud also)


I know this list isnt complete, and may contain some errors, i'm having trouble remembering exactly where i got what

Very Nice Spellcast, good help for us people who don't know what level gives a certian weapon/engine/batt.

Correction:

x/5/x/x does not give rail.

I have 6/5/5/4 and I do not have rail guns yet.

uhh what statain can I get SunFlares, im a 7/7/7/6 and I need a better weapon :/

S18 station has flares. Good luck Pilot.

You can get flares there all the time or is there a lisence limit??? (i hope there is!)

thx, dont worry, I been in S18, its no biggie *Gets blasted by 100 A3* Uhh :D

Spell Cast there's also
x/11/x/x gauss

Ciuciu said no. Actually thats not true. You can lose standing by accepting the mission, and not paying the 1000 credits the black-market asks for before trading in bot stuff. You can also lose standing by killing people admired by Axia.

If you accept any mission and then fail it you will lose standing. Paying the 1k counts as succeeding in the mission as far as the BM people are concerned.
