I think this would be something that would add a lot to us being a pirate, a true gauge of how “pirate” we really are. The title could show next to our gamer tag, this would give players an idea of how dangerous or safe a fellow pirate is.
Reputation Meter – This is a metric based on how you treat your fellow players and other NPC characters, treat them bad, ie kill them, and your reputation goes down. Help other players or NPC’s and your rep will go up. Simple, but this will affect everything you do in game and may affect what vendors you can get missions from. This will not compete with your Pirate Legend reputation. This is strictly measuring how “Pirate” you really are.
Honorable-100 level
Famous-80 level
Trustworthy-60 level
Respectable-40 level
Good-20 level
Pirate-0 level, where you start
Bad-minus 20 level
Dangerous-minus 40 level
Ruthless -minus 60 level
Infamous-minus 80 level
Cutthroat-minus 100+level
The Cutthroat level has no bottom, the worse you are the lower your point level can go. That is to make it more difficult to get your reputation back to the top if you are a real bad pirate. You have to do a lot of good to undo the bad.
