I find it difficult to track which factions are in conflict with others, especially Trade Embargos (it takes time to figure out which factions aren't in an embargo.) I know political officer helps in situ, but planning ahead for water-fuel pit stops a quick reference would be helpful. A quick fix might be a listing of factions not in trade embargo. But then I thought, "gee it's nice when I can gain rep with multi factions that are warring against the same faction." Not much of a programmer myself, but would adding a table be an option: | DV | CS | SR | HT | SSC | CJ | DV | X |
| A |
| E | B | CS | | X |
| W | B |
| SR | A | | X |
| B | E | HT | | W |
| X |
| E | SSC | E | B | B |
| X |
| CJ | B | | E | E |
| X |
A = Alliance B = Spy Battle E = Trade Embargo W = Trade War By quick reference Cadar Syndicate is the only faction without rep loss from trading. Also, you can gain rep with CS and SR by doing surveillance on SSC (but this is pretty easy to tell from the listing as it is.) If you want to gain SSC rep via surveillance, be sure to spy on CS and not SR (SR is allied with DV.) If you want to lose rep, trade with CJ and you'll lose SR(E), HT(E), and DV(A with SR). Looking forward to your thoughts.

Thanks for the feedback. A very interesting idea with some deep technical challenges.
A timely post, definitely something I've been working a lot, how to display the complex interactions of political entities in the upcoming Star Traders 2 demonstrations.
One of the big advantages there is that we won't be tied to the Android OS and all of the challenges it brings for the interface.
