Randomly becoming enemies with every faction
-
After I finished the SP campaign I decided to explore the rest of the maps. I should be allied / neutral with nearly every faction currently. However just by sitting there all of a sudden I am enemies with every faction. Even when I load up a previous save every ship around begins shooting at me. However when I check the status of factions I should be allied / neutral with those around me. It is pretty interesting fighting against every group at once. Another problem is because of this I actually can’t land anywhere. The version of freelancer is the same original one that came with the disks without any mods. There is no illegal cargo or any reason for the ships in the area to become hostile. I am literally just sitting there in space whenever it happens. Sometimes it happens as soon as I take off.

Well, as you are talking about the SP game - If you shoot some ships, depots, stations or whatever oince you will be hostile for the whole area for some times, independing of your status to those factions. You might just want to fly to another edge of the sirius sector, you should be neutral/allied then there. Wait some time and you can return to the original place.

this is probably caused by the factions themselves. they all interact more or less with each other. it is sometimes enough when one legal faction that is hostile with you crosses the area and recognises you on its radar system. if it is empathic enough with other factions around, many of them turn red. the more you shoot the more factions turn red until once your luck leaves you and you got blown off in space. this feature is pretty cool as this way you always have to watch out who you do work for and against whom.

Actually I am not shooting anyone or doing any missions whatsoever. Like I said before I am literally just sitting there when they become hostile. Another reason I think it is a glitch is because on the menu where it shows your alliances everyone who is around me (I’m in Stuttgart) is either allied or neutral. I bribed my way into the area so that I could do trading without being bothered.
On top of that when I start a new game as soon as I am finished with the first story mission and become a “freelancer” allied liberty becomes hostile for no reason.
I also used to think it was me accidentally doing something wrong but because this happens on all my other saves it suggests something else might be messed up in the files.

Do you use any mod?

There is one thing to know - if hostiles become only just white (-3) on the rep graph, they will still randomly decide to attack you. You need to get them down to less than -2.5 to be safer.
In vanilla FL, by destroying three of the Police storage canisters near Newark Station and letting the NPCs destroy you, you can be almost entirely neutral in Liberty.
