Right now, all reputation represents is how friendly you are to a superpower or minor power.
It would be wonderful if there were 'traits' that had their own reputation scales. For instance:
Et cetera. Each of these traits would factor into the type and quality of missions offered. Having a high timeliness rating might get you more-frequent 'deliver within x minutes' bonuses, while being known as a skilled bounty hunter would get you tip-offs to the whereabouts of particularly notorious criminals that are good at hiding and have significant bounties. Being known as a killer would net you fewer legal missions, but more assassination missions. Being unreliable would result in the missions you are able to get being lower-paying and 'simpler'.
It would be wonderful if there were 'traits' that had their own reputation scales. For instance:
- Reliability - what percentage of missions do you complete to client satisfaction?
- Safety - how well do you avoid insurance claims and/or interdictions?
- Law-abiding - how good are you at avoiding legal issues (or at least avoiding being scanned)?
- Timeliness - how quickly do you complete missions that you take?
- Loyalty - do you work for one particular group, or are you a freelance mercenary that sails like a leaf on the w[knocked out]
- Bounty-hunter - how many bounties have you claimed?
- Cold-blooded killer - how many innocent pilots have you destroyed?
- Cartographer - how many bodies have you discovered (first discovery)?
- Profiteer - how good are you at turning a profit while trading (profit margin percentage)?
