Infiltrator / Spy
With how long this game's been out, it's very possible someone else has already suggested or mentioned this. If so, please pardon me.
It would be nice to be able to create a character for the nation you're against. This character could be used as a Infiltrator or spy to attack the nation you're against from within.
Right now, the system is set up to where all actions are recorded even when you're out in the middle of space alone without any witnesses, as if God were watching. If I kill Hive bots in Itani territory, the standing with Itani increases and by default, the Serco standing decreases. Because of this, I don't see how it would be possible to make an Infiltrator.
This could add another angle of interest in the game, if it were possible.
Your thoughts?

There's already plenty of opportunity for spying, you can backstab all you want in Greyspace.
There's a guild of serco itani nationalists that have infiltrated serco space successfully... I believe they are called SoI, but not much else is known about them.
You start with 6 character slots.
Unfortunately, VO does not currently lend to anonymity, if that's what your looking for, so once you tip your hand, your reputation is set for that character.
I frankly think it's a bit silly that everyon's name / nation is automatically posted when they enter a sector. I could see this as a requirement for flying in nation space, but not Grey. Which would add some new dynamics to the game.

Now this is a good idea! Give people the ability to broadcast their nationality or not through the PDA.
If not broadcasting, they show up grey, or green, or pink, or some non-national color. I can see where nationalists might want to broadcast out of pride, traders might want to hide it, and pirates just want to be separated from their national affiliation.
If we really wanted to make it fun, we could add a modifier that prevents receiving faction protection if you are flying with your transponder off.
