Raise the escort reward for killing enemy

Dec 25, 2015 Death Fluffy link
The reward for killing enemies during an escort mission is ridiculously low- 1500 cr. I propose to raise the reward to 15,000 cr.

Also add a positive faction standing boost with the faction you are escorting.

+1 to OP
+1 to draugath

It has always seemed a tad backwards that the destination station would faction-reward escort pilots. The contract, risk, and profit belong to the faction of origin while the player has no choice as to destination. It seems kind of Meta-gamey: The way it works now allows players to rebuild standing with factions who would not let them dock to take missions. That may be desirable, but at least split the faction bump, plus attribute per-kill faction gains to the station of origin.

1500??!?!? Lol. One scratch on any of the ships I fly costs more than that.

+1, to both. Just give faction standing for both origin and destination, unless you want to make a better way to regain faction standing for the small factions if you're hated.
