Side missions or errands , should all feature + karma bonus points , upon completing each one, which is marked with the blue exclamation mark on the Invasion map.
Rank 1 side mission gives you 100 karma points.
Rank 4 side mission gives you 400 karma points.
Rank 7 side mission gives you 700 karma points.
Rank 10 side mission gives you 1000 karma points.
Example:

Credits and synergy rewards are not worth collecting, compared to PVP and PVE mode.
If you do this, at least karma will have a higher meaning, even though we still don’t know what does it do.
I don’t know about such high rewards, but side missions ought to give some amount of positive karma. Given that the highest positive karma reward I’ve ever even heard of is +5, and the highest I’ve ever gotten myself was +3, whereas killing police or a transport ship gives you easily double that amount in negative karma, there should be an easier way to get positive karma. If you cut the rewards to a tenth of what you have in your OP, then I’d say that’s rather reasonable.

Maximum reward given is either +10 to +12.
Minimum penalty bonus is - 50 and max is -200 or -300.
that would mean whenever I want to make some money, my negative karma would drop. I don’t like this. If there would be a way of earning both karma points at the same time depending on player’s base karma
Example: you have got -50 karma points and the mission is pirate-like themed and you get negative karma. Also the quest difficulty would depend on player’s karma, not on maximum Rank. Or if you have got +50 karma pts the missions are like they are now, + you earn positive karma.
Also I don’t know why but I think that the reset banner somehow doesn’t fit the star conflict scenery, more likely once you get to -3 karma level you should build up to karma +3 on your own.
ok, lets see - forwarded to Devs
thank u for this suggestion! this idea is not planned to be implemented so far. we might reconsider it in the future.
