I have a question I can’t seem to find the answer to: When creating a crew, you anger or please factions with your upgrades. Do you do this for both of the upgrades you select (so, if I take a Cohort, does that give me +1 with one faction and -1 with another, then my second upgrade does +1 with one faction and -1 with another)? Or do I simply take a single +1 and a single -1?

The handout sheet is a little ambiguous, but page 94 seems pretty clear that the two upgrades affect two factions in total:
“When you assign your two upgrades, the GM will tell you about two factions that are impacted by your choices:”
Chris Lea that clears it up, thanks
I always read that part as saying that one upgrade gives you a faction bonus, and the second upgrade gives you a faction penalty. Not both a +1 and a -1 per upgrade.
I agree with Tim. From what I remember (don’t have the book in front of me), one upgrade is gifted to you (+1 status), the other you took (-1 status)
I’m sure that’s the most common way to do it. But there’s nothing wrong with one of the upgrades being neutral, and the other providing both modifiers.
Sometimes one item is just more inspiring than another. Also, having the friend thing and the rival thing be the same thing can make for an interesting situation. (Which is inherently built into the choice of Contact.)
