A helpful trick about reputations..
Basically, i was playing FL and during my experience i found this handy trick to keep in mind. Perhaps you know it, perhaps you dont, but i havent seen any post of these trick before so im just posting them.
As you may have noticed, killing enemy fighters to get neutral with an enemy faction is simply too time-consuming while bribing is sometimes too expensive. However, i discovered that supply depots somehow are much more effective. I was in sheffield station (Bounty hunter base, Manchester) and i just destroyed three supply depots for the fun of it. (I was friendly with the bounties but didnt want to be, while enemies with the criminals while i wanted to be friendly with them) I destroyed three, tractored in some h-fuel, and got the hell out of there. To my suprise, when i checked my reputation, i saw that almost every criminal organization i was enemy with went down two squares! I reckon a single supply depot tube would be worth ten fighters.
However, as supply depots are quite rare, you need to search for them thourogly. I simply destroy Bounty hunter ones at sheffield station. And since criminals dont have depots you cant do it there. Be careful though, any nearby stations will attack you!
(dont try to attack zoner depots at freeports. As they are neutral with everyone and they have vital resting stations in desolate systems it is not advised to piss them off)
