NPC Farming is not the way!

That last post brings up something interesting.
Is it possible to unlink the reps, so that reps only respond to the individual ships / depots you kill?

E.g. Killing Xenos will only make the xenos hostile, and not other factions happy. In a mission you get a double edged rep effect of making the mission controller faction happy and the ships you kill angry, without affecting allies of either faction.

This way everyone can start out neutral to everyone and it would be next to impossible to become friends with someone who you are hostile to - unless they contact, hire and group with players of those hostile factions to increase their rep. That would make people more careful about what they do, i think.

It would also cause some problems but I'm not sure what they are. Discussion?

The template idea is a good one too I reckon.
