If the "big evil" race civilian ships I destroy are like any of the following then my reputation should not be lowered with other races similiar to me. Borg-like, Zerg-like(Starcraft), Flood-like(Halo), Tyranid-like(Warhammer 40,000), any various races like spiders,insects, or others similiar that are extremly different and hostile to us(like they eat us or do genocide against us), maybe like the Wraith of Stargate Atlantis, any robotic race that are extremly different and hostile to us(like they do genocide gainst us): maybe like Terminators and their Skynet AI leader, like Replicators of Stargate-SG1 TV series, and like Necrons of Warhammer 40,000. Think of all the science fiction you know off involving those extremely different types of "evil" races. I think most of those stories involving total war includes destroying civilian ships with no resulting reputation loss. Civilian ships of a "big evil" race that I destroy should be considered as a legitimate target in a total war. Other races similiar to mine should agree. Civilian ships are large part of a space civilization economy that is supporting the military you are fighting; as are the planets. Civilian ships could be carrying factory workers, scientists, soldiers, supllies, etcetera. There could be a group of scientists(or some sort of mind)on a civilian ship that may be close to creating a super weapon against your civilization. But yeah, civilian ships on historic, real life earth involving our one race, being targeted is generally viewed as bad.
