Well, here we go!!

Still haven't died, so that's good. Currently working Bounties in Pilot's Federation Space to earn enough for a decked-out ASP Explorer.Decked out for Exploration and Materials gathering. Then on to the Engineers for upgrades.
Noticed something interesting. My Pilot's Federation Reputation jumped up from Friendly to Allied when I turned in my first batch of Bounties for over 3.5 Million Credits.
The associated SuperPower Reputation - which has no name - didn't budge. So that only goes up when I complete PF Missions.
Although it has no name on the PF Reputation, it appears the SuperPower is actually the Federation.
I just checked my SuperPower rankings, and Federation is showing as Friendly. I have no Reputation with the Alliance or the Empire.
I'll keep running PF Missions until the blank SuperPower hits Allied. If my Federation Reputation jumps to Allied at that time, I'll have confirmation.
So I won't be heading out of PF Space for a while. That's okay. It'll take me a while to bank 55 Million Credits in Bounties for the ASP Explorer.
Plus a cushion of 20 Million. Can't head out into the Black without a decent cushion.
