Can't agree on that, if i recall it correctly you were flying for Bowex huh?
The Shire does quite a punch.
But i've got a Solution for you: Play as Junker.
- Nice Shipline and you're allways welcome to any other indie Junkers (they're a family after all)
- Lawfuls don't like you, but keep neutral.
- Unlawfuls don't like you, but still they appreciate it if you supply them.
- You can go nearly anywhere (EXEPT KUSARI).
- You are able to obtain the Salvager, a 3350-Cargohold-Ship with Gunboat Weaponry and Gunship powercore and on top of that it's a mining ship considering Scrap Metal.
- Most times pirates will let you pass - just remind them that you supply their bases.
- Since Kusari is enemy anyway, you can screw up you rep with Kusarian Corps, Bounty Hunters and Xenos and get neutral to nearly anyone else then.
Only thing that really can get annoying is that everyone threats you as potential enemy, you're allways highly suspicious, people will not like you luring around.
