People abuse it by ramming into higher tier for example tier 6 ship is ramming into tier 1 and make him lose -10 reputation.
This leads to kick from trade guild because low reputation.

The issue imho is here the protection / interaction with trade guilds. This showcases a core issue of the game. On the one hand the game wishes that traders are available for pvp (as prises for the pirate guilds). On the other hand this leads to a massive protection buff to traders to incentives them to use the trade pvp flag and not just the peace flag. This also allows for the trades to use the reputation system to their benefit. I remember you yourself sinking me with a trade flag for profit. While i thing this is fair for any neutral / faction player trade guild members should be heavily decentiveced to do so. Since the penalty for a neutral player to sink a trade guild member are heavy
Or in other words if you are a trade guild you should focus on trade. And pvp should be only an option to defend yourself against pirates.

I thought ramming determines aggressor by speed? So if a trader is coming to ram you just slow down and they become the aggressor and you can sink them with no rep loss?

Reputation abuse is still used by neutral players to lower military faction reputation

Im pretty sure it does. It's either that or % damage? Either way, if you just get in front of any rate 1 (esp a hurrican or 12 apostolov) and stop, the only option for them is to ram right through you and you die really quickly in a pickle. They lose the rep because technically they're the aggressor. I dont really know how you realistically fix this because if you just remove aggressor determination, people will just go around in ramming ships killing yellows for free because they cant fight back or they would lose the rep for attacking the player ramming them.

they have just to decrease reputation penality to -1, add reputation bonus for killing reds (there was until few months ago), and punish abuser.
Then they can suicide as mush as you wants, during the battle they won't make huge problems, then they will get banned.

It does not and I have several video recordings of KOR and FDM and LIQ members ramming into us and shooting us without turning red and losing reputation when suiciding into us. They shoot, they ram and they cause rep loss.
