Do stations ever turn Red?

I know that you can become allied with stations so that they turn green always, but do they ever become red? I mean before they scan you with a wanted status? I imagine you'd have to be a total psycho to earn an enemy tag status from a station. But it seems that security at most stations is fairly lax and they let in the worst elements with very little effort to deter scumbags from infiltrating their docking bays. Even in "high security" systems.

Yes. Becoming hostile to the relevant minor faction makes this happen, and it makes sneaking into said station AMAZING FUN. System Authority Vessels (SAVs) don't need to scan you, they just open up on sight.

Seriously, it's actually a challenge getting in,, and getting out with lasers and stuff popping all round is crazy.

I keep saying this, they need to design some missions centered around getting into stations which are hostile to you.

On an aside, the process of becoming hostile is also lots of fun. The amount of times I've been happily popping NPCs at a Nav Beacon and suddenly a SAV Anaconda + 2 vultures rock up,,, I try to jump away, "FSD Inhibited by a factor of 20".... awwww man....

EDIT: Unfortunately don't have the screenshot of the system where I was hostile to three of the four minor factions... am a red-blooded imperialist, and if the target system isn't run by the empire, the law means nothing to me there :)

I'm KoS with a few stations, Shifnalport particularly. The stations themselves don't lay a finger on you, but the police will seek you out without so much as a basic scan.

Lots of piracy and privateering murder led me to become hostile to Shifnalport, and it has been damned fun.
 
I remember the days of parking in a hostile station, go into outfitting with one of your turrets running on anything but forward fire...

Then become one with the remnants of your ship when you take off...
