Maybe the autorepping needs better balancing, I dunno, but its necesary. You arent going to keep the 'justice system' running if everyone is expected to work 2 days on their rep to fix it so they dont get reported on by some *******, while other *******s are allowed to do anything they want with it because they are better at lawyering.
To me, it seems logic that military will be less friendly to semi-legal junk peddlers that spend more time pirating and smuggling drugs than actually collecting junk, than freelancers and corporations will. If your old way of doing things doenst work anymore, find a new way. Its waht you expect of everyone else. If military shoot at you while oyu are doing your stuff, stay out of their face. Its possible.
