Problem of sorts

How the heck you make INDY (Independents) not hostile? Looks like my cargorunners have bumped few of them somewhere along and now almost every station I visit have some hostiles around.

Not that bad a problem unless you need to dock... Few tugs I can handle anytime but having them on my neck constantly is making this play fast a non-fun play.

Sorry to be the bearer of ill tidings, but once a faction goes hostile, they are hostile permanently. It happened to me once as well. Makes trading of any kind in the easter areas of the cluster very difficult. My only solution is to head into the far west of the cluster, where there should be much fewer Indy ships.

Argh, looks like I need to do some traveling then

Like they said: Go see the world, meet new interesting people, shoot them!
