I would like an option that can make it possible to ignore all certain types of shipping:
Lets say I want to go after smugglers in policing action: I want to ignore those ships that the scanners say "legal goods" .... so I can avoid a hundred random encounters where I just hit acknowledge or ignore.
Or if I want to ignore all but pirates. Because they're going to pop up everywhere anyways. Besides, I like killing pirates.

Would like, if it doesnt mean that you can press'ignore anything dangerous' and then you cant get any hostile encounters...

Right now, I have trade rights with all houses and syndicates, as well as bounty rights, and a military rank with all six also.
I spend so much time hitting "acknowledge" it isn't even funny.
A gameplay menu that chooses which houses to ignore entirely would be awesome. So that way when I get an encounter I know its hostile and can go crazy!

The one drawback of having something avoid "acknowledge" is that there are rare occasions where you are running on vapors, have significant damage to your ship, and the nearest inhabited planet is 10+AU away. Then you might actually be tempted to take on a friendly ship for either fuel - or the ship itself. If your game is set to auto-ignore any ship that would otherwise require an "Acknowledge", you'll never see those opportunities to save yourself and your ship.

I just never let myself get that low on fuel.  Well, I'll correct that. I'm never 10+ Parsecs from anywhere and low on fuel. |

I understand the request but I do not think it is something the game can support.
In addition to the technical difficulties, the average player is friendly or semi-friendly with only a small number of Factions and does not play "all positive" games very often.
I have, however, added it to the big list of feature requests. I'll keep my eye on the code and if an opportunity to add this ever comes up, I will reconsider and post some thoughts.
