Old story, but I suggest adding to Serco and Itani faction ship reputation requirements KOS or hate:

Valkyrie MkI Itani Reputation: 800 Itani, -800 Serco
Centurion Border Guardian 680 Itani, -800 Serco
Prometheus MkI Serco Reputation: 800 Serco, -800 Itani
Vulture Guardian Reputation: 800 Serco, -800 Itani

.. etc.

bah. that wouldn't make sense with the given faction system. if someone likes you, they like you. if you want to fix the faction system, make it so that one side likes you less for the other side liking you.

if someone likes you, they like you.

Heh, sometimes not.

For example: helping your own guild and friends defend station against *ONE* aggresors leads to automatically KOS "to all Serco forces in the universe" and massive ur char removal from their friendlist. + Tons of whining as a bonus.

its a step in the right direction.

I still like lecters suggestion he linked to, though id say -990 instead to pure KOS simply for the convenience of it, taking one convoy mission to a uit station, and killing one of the behemoths, then ignoring the rest to pickup the loot can make ya -999 instead of -1000. Ideally their won't be a lower limit on faction standing, I'd love to end up being -9000 with uit, have them send fleets of strike force after me.
