That's really impressive, but you didn't exactly own it and it took you ages even though it was just a python. As a static noobsplatting deterrent they still work wonders.
Karma system - is it still coming?

If players use c&p enough, maybe, just maybe then the karma system will be implemented. It all depend on us guys
I'm sure all the "I shot the wrong thing and now regret it" threads count.
Karma as a concept, is a silly way to explain the fallacious correlations of a paranoid mind or subconscious, guilt induced, self-sabotage.
Karma, as was proposed in ED, seemed like a lazy way to make rules enforcement easier by giving such violation in-game legitimacy, and impose an unneeded morality system on the setting.
Either way, I scoff at them.
I'm all for a more rational, more meaningful, C&P system. I just don't want out of game actions to be part of that system (punishments for those behaviors should fall on the player, not on their character's "karma") and I don't want the system to resemble the arbitrary actions of an omnipresent, omniscient, or omnipotent force.

It's not been replaced by Notoriety IIRC. As Riverside said - it was supposed to be internal system to track player activity patterns on long term basis. We were never supposed to see it in game.
From what I understood, if a player kept attacking small, unarmed ships with his uber-engineered Cutter, he would slowly but steady get bad karma. I cannot remember what the consequences were supposed to be...
I disagree. C&P does not track long term patterns in player behaviour.

Any convincing implementation of C&P and faction rep should reflect CMDR behavior over the long term. Another system isn't necessary.
Dear FDEV, is the Karma system still coming? It was supposed to complement Crime and Punishment. It's been a while. What's up with that? Is it still on the cards? Is it being actively developed? Did you change your mind? If so - is there an alternative being worked on? If so - what is it? If not - are there any other plans regarding enhancing C&P system?
Please let us know
You should know by now that FD has at best a fifty percent hit rate when it comes to features promised vs features delivered.
If we could all get over being wronged, no one would care who was right.
