Hi all,
I seem to be kinda stuck early on in the campaign. The Governor gave me the mission to intercept the munitions ship. I went to Falais de Fleur spoke to and killed the captain of the escort ship. I then bullied and threatened the innkeeper rather than paying him off. I spoke to the harbourmaster then the captain of the munitions ship, then we pushed off.
I fought and captured the munitions ship then returned to Redmond, I thought mission accomplished. I spoke to the governor and was given the next mission to land troups off Greenford. However, now when I go to sell my cargo or make repairs I get turned away from the merchants, and I see my rep is now "swindler".
So basically I am stuck with 3 damaged ships (I had 2 already when I captured the munitions ship) and no way to fix them. The ships barely have enough crew to sail them and are running out of food. When I try to return to Greenford without supplies for the next mission I start losing crew to starvation.
I am not sure how my rep on British soil went down while completeing missions for them. I never did take a loan so I know its not that. I thought maybe it was killing ther escort ship's captain as opposed to bribing him, but he was an enemy of the crown so I don't see why the Brits would object. In any event I checked my rep on my save prior to leaving the docks and I was fine.
So why do I return from a successful mission to lower reputation? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
