Suggestions / Re: Turning in blueprints to factions/Requesting custom ships

It isn't that I have a problem with current pricing, but the main purpose is the scaling of the reputation bonus for turning in blueprints. There are cases where I would accept fewer credits for a greater bonus to my relations with a faction. It is rational to assume a faction would value more rare or powerful blueprints greater than more common or less powerful blueprints.

It would follow this that you would see greater reputation benefits for turning in rarer and more powerful blueprints, hence the tiered system.

Perhaps we catagorize the blueprints into Common/Rare/Vary Rare with scaling rewards depending on the rarity. For modded blueprints their value would be determined by their price. Blueprints worth less than $25k are common, and over $125 are very rare, with rare being in between.

Hello there, had an idea for an update/mod while grinding credits to build a space station. It boils down to two distinct parts.

1. The ability to approach a station commander/quartermaster to turn in ship blueprints for a rep bonus and a small credit stipend.
And
2. Once your faction rep is high enough, being able to apptoach a station quartermaster or portmaster to have a ship built from a blueprints you have turned in or have in your inventory. Made and sold at a premium of course.

This is for all those who aren't the type to micromanage a colony, but are willing to pay huge stacks of credits to have specific ships built to form their perfect fleet. For all my fellow space cowboys out there, I hope this becomes a thing.

I don't know anything about how to mod this game, and haven't done any serious modding since playing Shadow of Chernobyl back when I was fresh out of highschool. Please enlighten me if this is possible or not in the engine, and how I would go about implementing such a system.
