Display Reputation OXP 1.3

Ta, that's something I've been meaning to ask. It's not completely straightforward to add it, however. It does require inelegant version checking code. I first made a version of Explorers' Club with such code to see this feature in action before I made Display Reputation 1.3.

I think a better solution would be to move all these reputation-related notes to an F4 screen, and off the manifest screen completely. But that's just me.

"Reputation" is a bit limited, IMHO. Maybe we could find some consensus on the heading to be something like "Reputations and Ranks" or something? I'm happy to define ranks/reputations from the OXPs I'm maintaining when there's some agreement on the heading.

As a I generally play a mixture of passengers/parcels delivery and easy fugitives killer, I use the manifest screen almost only to check the destinations of passengers/parcels.

The manifest screen is a good idea, story-side speaking, as it show immediately the role you're playing; but the manifest side is functionnaly useless to me: I go into the F8 screen to see what I got to sell.

So I would be slightly in favour of moving the reputation-related notes in the F4 screen.

Still, the F4 screen is, for me, several pages long... It's not very user-friendly.

So I would totally be in favour of letting the player decide which F4 screens could be accessible through cycled-press of F4.
For example, F4: the main list of functions, new-F4: the commodities screen, new-F4: the passengers delivery screen, new-F4: the parcels delivery screen...

So, where are your passenger, parcel & cargo reputations? Not shown? If not, that answers the question of was the missiontext.plist missing a semi-colon. Yes, yes it was. I will fix it in 1.5, thank you.
