How does Diplomacy work in the debug menu?

[TrevorJD]

Hi folks,

I'd like to set relations with an NPC faction. I am familiar with grinding up by clearing pirates and whatnot, but that's tricky when it's a smuggler hideout so I'd like to use a command. The only instructions I've found via google are to target the entity in question, fire up the debug panel and use the diplomacy settings. However, as soon as I open the debug panel, my own ship is targetted and the diplomacy options (like, neutral, ally, etc.) appear to have no effect.

Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?

Cheers

yea what you do is, click on the own locals then hit the like button as much as you want, and the ally if thats your desire, then go back to own and all done
