Gain reputation with law enforcement faction for scanning for criminals outside stations

[Snarfbuckle]

Basically what the title says.

-Sit outside station and scan incoming ships

-Wanted ships gets alerted to local police force that takes care of the criminal

-Player gets REP with local authorities for effort

Do you need to scan them with a KWS, or will just targeting them and facing them do?

What effort?

Vigilantes will not be tolerated - Dam cop lovers.

What effort?

The effort of scanning said ship with a sensor, not just selecting them.

Or about the same effort as a PvP player has when shooting up an unarmed freighter for the lulz

You would need to use a KWS.

That's not much effort or risk for gaining reputation.

I love the idea of player-cops, though. How about you get up to Allied first, then you can get deputised by the controlling faction to enforce laws in its jurisdiction - you can do the scanning thing you suggested, but for cash rewards, as well as salvage and rescue legally?
If you break any laws though, you take a rep hit and have to work up for it again. That will keep miscreants like me from abusing their badge

-Reputation gain would be looooow

-A certain level of positive reputation would most likely be needed unless we see this as a "citizen arrest" and you are just reporting this to the local police.

-Salvage and bounty is not really needed as a reward since you can just shoot at them after they are scanned.

I've always wanted something like this. You get deputized, and then head to an RES (especially HAZRES!) to kill the baddies and legally take the spilled cargo There's a new sheriff in town!
