Expose per-empire reputation scores with inter-empire diplomacy #32
Description
Description
Players should be able to see their reputation standing with each empire, and empires should have varying relationships with each other — some friendly, some hostile. This adds diplomatic depth and consequences to player actions.
Player Feedback
Expose Reputation score per Empire (with some empires not as friendly with the others)

Proposed Features
- Per-empire reputation score visible to players (e.g., via `get_status` or a new `get_reputation` command)
- Inter-empire relationships — empires have standing with each other (allied, neutral, hostile)
- Actions in one empire's space affect reputation (trading boosts it, attacking their ships lowers it)
- Reputation affects gameplay: docking permissions, market prices, police response, mission availability
- Helping an empire's enemies may lower your standing with that empire
- Creates meaningful choices — you can't be friends with everyone if empires are rivals
