Change to Wanted rating

[EdzUp]

Instead of just wanted why not bring back the Elite Offender and Fugitive ratings. Things like smuggling and colliding with stuff gets you a offender rating where only security will be allowed to attack you if there are no Fugitives in the local area, however killing innocents will net you a Fugitive rating where everyone can kill you.

This might stop the massed killing for 400Cr bounties and would mean killing people will make you much more of a target as security will attack you first.

I always thought the Wanted status should be less binary.

Bit like GTA.

Being "5 star" wanted (or whatever) would make it virtually impossible to enter the system without being hounded by lots and lots of powerful security.
1 star would just be a "meh" single ship show up to investigate. Interdictions unlikely, but possible.

Murdering would rapidly increase your wanted status. Assault only slowly.

Unlike GTA though, repainting your ship would not get rid of it.
