Whoo, looks like the manta isn't the only ship with a problem this release!
Suggested Change: Reputation
Ok as it stands now, I have *over* 250 outcast pilots in my hold from killing their fighters and whatnot in Omicron Alpha. Now my concern is I've killed a crapload of ships. My reputation is still nuetral with the outcasts.
I think this is a major problem.
Corsairs are closer to getting nuetral with me than outcasts are to getting hostile.
What I propose is that the reputation modifiers are changed so that if you kill 5 of their ships you are dead nuetral from pure friendly. Ten ships would be completely hostile.
I suggest that the method for getting factions friendly stays just the way it is now however.
EDIT:
Update.. This happened a few minutes after my post as I continued killing outcasts. Please note Corsairs were dead top of my list as biggest enemy prior.
