Reputation recovery

[Yeizinho]

For some reason the Ministry of Finance decided I'm no good, have a -10 reputation with them.
Is there a way to recover rep to at least -5 so I can start trading with them again or i'm better of just reloading a save ?

Shoot some enemies around their stations (Xenon, Khakh). I had -30 rep with Holy Order and fix it with some kills. :)

Wish you could just pay a fine or something, although at end game that would be to easy to exploit. ty for the answer.

Doesnt work for me. I accepted Paranid mission to destroy HOP ship, changing my rep from -9 to -10, which prevents me from trading with them.
I created a small fleet to kill Xenon in HOP sectors but after about 20 dead Xenon i am still at -10. HOP and Paranid are in conflict to I killed Paranid in disputed HOP sector but still -10.
I am now building my own trading station in HOP sector in hope they buy my goods and increase the rep this way.
HOP dont offer me any missions so this won't work.
If I am bored I will search HOP stations for criminals. I hope they dont get angry at me not having police license.

Kill that lonely pirate tourist bus/ XS trader shuttle sometimes there
Killing that lonely one gives you a HUGE boost in reputation!
(no missions!!)
(So use only S Ships for that, when you miss with M Ships, the whole Sector will very fast turn hostile to you...)

Sadly I found that out the hard way lol,
wanted to go to WAR (SLOWLY!!) with the Holy Order of Pontifex, had some -9 already, but then as I had Order to kill XEN from the Argons, I also killed some of these XS traders / tourist buses near PON stations.... and .... ended up in +2 rep with them.....
O.o

How do I know which one I can/should kill and which not?
I have seen some hostile shuttles at some stations but it was at a station of one of the friendly factions.
With HOP everything seems hostile for me (colored in red) although they dont yet attack me on sight. I tried to find some of those hostile shuttles at a handful of stations but could not find any. I scanned some shuttles in hope to find some disguised pirates but also without success.
Killing foes of HOP does not help. I killed Paranid (in HOP sector) and Xenon but without change of reputation.
I trying to kill SCA now as they are generally seen as pirates. Before I do so I wanted to raise reputation with SCA to not become hostile with them too.
Currently I have -5 reputation with SCA. I have set up some auto traders close to their stations and continously doing missions for them. SCA guild missions as well as SCA faction normal missions. The -5 reputation does not change at all.

I hope shuttle chasing at random stations is not the only way to increase reputation :-(

I had this issue recently, killed a few too many HAT laser towers as a requirement of those 'silence the competition' style missions. I did the following;

1. fly near HAT swatting any and every criminal, shuttles and nearby patrolling khaa'k / xenon forces.
2. accepting missions offered by HAT found at other faction owned stations. (in the same sector) pay attention to who is offering the mission in the details.

You need to kill enemies near their stations (radar range, ~40km), in random space is not good enough. In vanilla you may also need to do it personally, but there are mods to fix that if you want.

A station won't help if you cannot dock at theirs because they also will not dock with yours.
