Summary0014777: A greater range of rep descriptors before/after idolized because - reasons (given below)
DescriptionWhen I first started playing this game I was struck by an incorrect supposition that rep outside the descriptors below was fairly irrelevant and that the game was "exhausted" after meeting the highest, and lowest tiers of descriptions.

I believe that as it is there is too much opportunity for new players to be misled and give up on races with lower than -100 rep values.

Given that additionally when the game was (as noted in 1.006 patch notes*) ending far too early, the rep descriptors did make sense - this may no longer be the case.

I propose spreading out the positive indicators up to (giving more notice to the numbers than the new example names):


    Beyond Reconciliation: -1000
    Irreconcilable Differences: -999 to -500
    <something else>: -499 to -250


    Unyieldingly Hated: -249 to -125
    Detested: -124 to -90

    Distrusted: -89 to -75
    Regarded With Suspicion: -74 to -50
    Disagreeable: -49 to -25

    Neutral: -24 to 24

    Liked: 25 to 49
    Well Liked: 50 to 74
    Trusted: 75 to 89

    Highly Favored: 90 to 124
    <something else>: 125 to 249


    Idolized:: 250 to 499
    <something else>: 500 to 999
    <something else>: 1000 to 1449
    <something else>: 1500 to 2449
    Hydral Sycophants: 2500+




The current Rep descriptors:

    Unyieldingly Hated: -100 to -90 influence
    Detested: -89 to -50
    Mistrusted: -49 to -25

    Neutral: -24 to 24

    Trusted: 25 to 49
    Highly Favored: 50 to 89
    Idolized: 90 to 100

The unidirectional relationships between races are also subject to this misleading shallowness to a lesser degree.

    Abject Loathing: -100 to -90 attitude
    Serious Grievance: -89 to -50
    Dislike: -49 to -25
    Neutral: -24 to 24
    Friendly: 25 to 49
    High Regard: 50 to 89
    Hearty Fellowship: 90 to 100


*
From 1.006:

"To directly convince a race to join an existing federation, you previously had to have -25 influence with them. Now you need:

    Acutian: 200
    Andor: 25
    Skylaxian: 50
    Thoraxian: 400
    Evuck: 400
    Peltian: 25
    Boarine: 200

Increased Requirements For Baseline Federation Creation / Joining "

Thanks!

* There are now far more steps on the naming scale of attitudes and influences (7 negative and positive instead of 3 negative and positive), to help make the progression more clear to players and avoid throwing off new players in terms of thinking that something was irreconcilable when it was not really.
