Corporations, Factions, Missions and Standings

I know we don't have any Corporations, Factions, Missions or Standings yet. However, I imagine that some day we will and gaining standings with these entities will become a very important part of the game. My questions about the developer's plans are:
  1. Will gaining standings with one group cause standings loss with opposing groups?
  2. Will running missions for one faction eventually make it so other factions hate you? And possibly lock you out of their regions?
  3. Will shooting rats for fun cause any standings gains or losses?
  4. Will it be possible to recover standings with those who hate you, or will your character be locked out forever?
 
My guess is that you can work up your standing with any superpower on a rotation, like in previous titles, and thus get all the goodies/medals/titles in the long term. Not a morally great thing to do, but that's online avatars in an ethical limbo for you!

If you can "work" two factions in a parallel, the system is questionable, and only meant for blind farming, so that surely can't be! We need to see some tough love, and a reaction to your actions! Loyalty until death! Or at least loyalty for the day... They should completely not accept a Federal Hero in the Empire in my opinion though, or vice versa. But that's probably being harsh or something. I would not know. ;)
 
I'm reading it like a multiple faction grinding opportunity, with the added confirmation of it being outside of the sphere of interest, so you should absolutely feel encouraged to do so. All in the spirit of free enterprise of course. :p
