    Wasn't enough room on google's thing to post my full idea.

    If you shoot a shop, the trading guild comes to defend it. If you shoot it again in another ship or with hand gun, new AI comes and old AI stays dormant. Make all trade guild AI hostile to the player and shoot no matter what they are in. Also, if you shoot shops often enough, have a permanent enemy AI set up.

    Like in freelancer, if you comit enough bad deeds towards a guild, they shoot you on sight no matter where you are and what you do until you do missions for them to make them happy or pay off the right people. So if you attack a shop, -0.1 standing with trade guild. If you attack a trade guild member, -0.2 standing each one killed, -0.05 for just shooting at one. Once you are -5, they will always shoot you no matter where you are or where you go if they are in your vicinity. Only way to bring this down should be to pay credits to the NPC shops. "Raise your standings with our guild? +0.1 standings per 100,000 credits." with a maximum of +10 standing, which may possibly even offer some slight discounts or something, maybe not.

    Find my suggestion somewhere here and vote on it when it becomes available. I dunno how to direct link my suggestion: http://www.google.com/moderator/#15/e=20951b&t=20951b.40&f=20951b.6c7cfd

    How would you do missions for a group that hates you so much, they shoot on sight?

    Once the game is more fleshed out, I can see the possability of causing AI factions to become perminantly hostile to players, as with player shops now negating the mandatory need for NPC shops.

    In freelancer, you do missions for a faction that doesn\'t totally hate you that is allied to the faction that does hate you, or you find a station you can dock in that has an agent in the faction that hates you and he may give you a mission. Missions don\'t really work in Star-Made though so it\'s not really all that important, was an example.
