Reputation Bug: Can't buy weapons or ship components from anyone

  • My friend and I just started playing Crossfire a few days ago, and we are both having the same problem. Whenever we try to buy weapons, shields, or any other ship components above level 2, we are told that we "need to be on friendlier terms" to purchase them. This happens at every base we have tried, including ones where we clearly have maxed-out reputations. We have tried to do missions to change our reputations, but we get the same message. I have also tried logging in/out, reinstalling the game, and getting myself killed. So far, nothing has worked. I can buy ships just fine, and sometimes those ships come with higher-level shields, and I can collect and equip weapons that I tractor from dead enemy ships, but nobody will sell me level 3 guns (I am about level 25 and have a couple million credits from trading).


    I briefly browsed these forums and came up with a few old threads where other people have the same problem, but nobody really proposed a solution in any of those. Since it seems to be a pretty common issue, I am wondering if anyone here has figured out a way to fix it.


    Crossfire seems like a really impressive mod, but this bug is making it pretty unplayable. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

  • Restart your characters by using the F1 option. Dock somewhere, press F1 and then " Select a New Character ". Then select the same one you used and ... try again.
    (If it's not the logging in/out I think)

  • As you are lvl 25, well for ships most of the CF added ships requires level 30 before buying them... but not for guns... maybe it got mixed somehow, I heard about this happening a while ago (it was just temporary) and it was solved but I don't remember how right now... I'm too sleepy to think much.


    OP will know :) Just wait a lil more, he's always arround .


    Btw have you aswell restarted the PC after deinstalling CF ? Remember that your savefiles and folder don't get deleted when uninstalling, so as it should be in your own data (as the mod itself works fine) you sometimes(some cases) reinstall CF with no effect, useless.

  • Hm, when I had this issue, it resolved to me by using the F1 option. Ha... it seems like it's worse now.


    Well, try buying the Junker's bribe at Rochester base behind Manhatten(if you don't see it, do undocks until it shows up) and reach the 30lv and see if it'll work.
