Corvus standing change
Every time you kill a station guard/strike force in corvus your standing goes down a bit. They will still allow you to dock but repeated destruction on their personal should have more of a reaction than a temp 15 minute kos.
Mining lenbs should mean that you'll need to do some proc mission to get access to Corvus ships and manufacturing missions again.

Just name this thread "Make Corvus boring like any other faction"

Explain why you think this would make things boring.
Yeah, I'll have to -1 this too. Corvus is unique in that it really doesn't give two shits what you do as long as you keep it out of the NFZ, and if you do shit in the NFZ they hunt you for it a bit, but they won't stop taking your money should you dock. You can even shoot station guards outside the NFZ and if you kill them while they're outside it nothing happens. Should this be changed then some enterprising pirate will probably get himself KOS with every other faction and then again with Corvus and you basically are saying that if you do that you can't play anymore which is just not nice, in fact I might just make that alt and do that.
+1 because it is ridiculous that I can sit at M14 in a quadrail mining station guard after station guard without any faction loss. Or any negative response at all so long as I don't violate the NFZ.
However, I'm not sure if implementation would be simple enough to warrant the minor gain in sense-making gameplay. Maybe it wouldn't matter, because even with Corvus KOS now you can home at, spawn at, and dock with Corvus stations...but maybe it'd be an issue?

This poses a threat to the uniqueness of my -543 corvus standing, so I am against this idea
-1. Go farm them elsewhere if you want faction hits. Also, Genka's reason.
I want to be able to kill people who run out of B8 without major penalty other then weaksauce SF.
You might be able to dock at Corvus while Temp KOS, but if you are KOS when the system tries to spawn you there, well, you get bounced back to a nation capitol. And if you are hated there, then you get bounced back to Corvus. And then Back, and forth till the KOS expires.
So getting a permanent hate is a bad thing. I did post a thread a while back about making lmines not trigger while in the NFZ, which would make farming LENB's a lot harder (but still possible); I suppose drops in Corvus faction would be ok, but only if the drop is capped at -599 so you cannot achieve the "unable to spawn" scenario.
Also you don't even get small drops right now, the only way to drop Corvus faction is to take trade missions that give you cargo, sell the cargo then abort the mission.

"if you do shit in the NFZ they hunt you for it a bit, but they won't stop taking your money should you dock."
Actually, they do restrict what you can buy from them while you're temp-kos. I've had several occasions where I forgot I was temp-kos and then found myself unable to buy the ships I wanted until I grabbed an EC and went out to let the guards have their way with me.
But yeah, -1 for now. I'd like for there to be limited ways to lose Corvus stranding eventually, but it wouldn't be a good idea with the way the homing and respawn mechanics currently work. Unless an exception was added so that you only lose standing for killing guards while disliked or better.
