Has this happened to anyone else? I was playin EVC and I had finished the Fed string and I was sitting on one of the 30 something planets I had so far taken over, and when I went into the bar there was a rebel dood who told me that if I didn't betray the feds and kill a certain fed frigate that was floating around they would kill me. As amusing as their attempt to kill me would have been, I went alon and blew up the frigate. then i returned to the planet, got my reward and looked at my map. I was now at the highest standing with all the rebel planets, and the lowest with all the fed planets. Plus, when I went to a rebel world, I could now by their ships and tech.

I encountered that mission, too, but denied it. Also, you get Rebel stuff after finishing the Confed string. The Switch Sides mission has nothing to do with that.

Think your sig is quoteworthy? E-mail me your quoteworthy message to the world and I'll put it in my AIM profile! If I like it, that is. Ok, yeah, I'm desperate, big deal. Just gimme some quotes.

Really? That makes no sense.

Yeah, there is a bug that lets you buy Rebel stuff if you finish the Confed missions. Never got fixed.

As for the mission you describe, yeah, it does that; there is a plugin on the EV add-ons page that will give you another mission which undoes the effect of the Switch Sides mission. The name escapes me however; it's been 2 years since I've looked through there. (heck, it'd be a simple plug, you could probably make it yourself).
