Hi guys,
I totally messed up . . . I'm playing a small game with about a dozen people in it, maybe only 7 active and I'm the lone member of my corp. Furthermore, terra has already been milked dry. My original plan was to go red in this game but being the noob that I am, I attacked a ferrengi that I ran into . . . my align shot up to 1900 and it's nearly 2000 now . . . I've got a good amount of exp that I really dont want to lose. . . so, is there anyway to go red quickly?
I've been jetting colos everyday but that's not gonna do it for me. Thanks for the help.

If there are any evil aliens you can do that. or, if you want to kill the colonists you have, do that! (land on the planet and hit Z and then A) i think you get -100 alin for every 1k figs you use, but i could be wrong (havent done that in YEARS). so before you murder all your colo's, test it!

best bet is to look for a blue player because your alingnment is not all that high yet.

good luck!

You can always blow up ports, you get 50 exp and -50 align for every port you blow up, then again with almost 2k alignment, that would be 40 ports just to get to zero. I would not advise killing colonists, as that is very counter productive to what you have already done if you have them. And if terra is dry, you'll need every colonist you can get. The best advice is to either kill a blue, some blue figs, or CBY.

Park your ship, buy a Scout and CBY. You will go to minus 10 align zero exp.

Look, your solution is simple. Of course jettising colonists isn't working, you can only dump one load per day for neg. KILL the colonists on the planet instead! Killing colonists using the z a command is the quickest way to go evil! It's also entertaining to hear them all screaming in terror :)

Personally I'd use Rofellos' suggestion. Ask a blue player to help you out and drop some figs in a sector for you to take out. You can offer to reimburse him/her for the figs but most blues will gladly help you out.

I dismissed that suggestion, giving the person the benefit of the doubt, it seems to me if he had a blue to help him he wouldn't be posting his dilemma here :) I'm mean, let's not state the obvious :)

What's obvious to some is not always obvious to everyone else. He asked for any way to go red quickly.
