I don't agree that there should be any irreversible decisions in VO. You might have decided you didn't need to respect that high-level Xang Xi (or whatever) player simply because now Xang Xi is a stupid faction that doesn't give you anything new.

However, Vendetta changes all the time, and the situation might become unbalanced on the opposite direction.

Corollary: punishments shouldn't extend forever on a game that changes frequently

I change my mind. It should not be irreversible, but very very hard to get back. (just so that it's not irreversible) How about you are required to destroy more bots when your in negative faction standing then when your in neutral or positive? (i'm sure this has been suggested before)

Hmmmm, i wish it was as easy as *go shoot 1000 bots in grey*... The issue here is there is nowhere to bot that will affect my current situation, and no forseable way to make a botting sector for every sub-faction.

I still think a really hard repent mission or simaler, i have faith though...

/me gets on knee's and prays to the magical devgods =D

And before anyone says it im not moaning.lol

first of all, i think KOS is great for people who deserve it.
second, I think that faction standing should drop only after a victim has lodged a complaint. You can vary this by saying 2 people must lodge a complaint or same person got killed twice and complained twice.

it would look something like

"you were killed by enemy ClownShoes, would you like to lodge a police report and seek protection?"

and user can click YES or NO

once they say YES, police gets dispatched from station and take care of the offender. chasing him through systems, destroying him. if he shoots back his standing is lost with 100% certainty. if he takes it like a man, consider it a warning, he might lose it if he's unlucky (50/50 chance).

second time a complaint is lodged, same thing happenes. only chance of him losing the standing is (75/25).

To get back from KOS standing abuser should pay the fine of 1mil and ALL his standing with all other factions gets dropped 10%.

Take that you griefer.

Well, this is just my 2creds on the matter, but i think that there should be at the very least a way (albeit extremely hard)for hated individuals of a nation to get back their faction.

Second I think that the facion loss for one faction should not be so extreme. Make the penalty -400 or somthing, not -800 (or whatever it is now) thats just insane for a game where pvp is such an integral part of the system. One mistake at a certain factions station and its all over for good. Thats kinda not fair for anyone.

I also think that if you are either neutral or partially friendly with a nation, that it should be a lot easier to get standing with a certain faction than if you were disliked or hated. If the faction likes you and trusts you enough, you should be given more and better opportunities to have better standing with them.
