I've been pondering rep lately, and decided to allow a form of rep regain. I'm
a little tired, so I'll just outline what happens, and you can sort out the
results for yourself.

1) The max rep you have ever attained is stored, along with what alignment you
had when you achieved that rep.
2) Changing (ship) alignments resets your rep. (As it always has)
3) Until you reach your max rep again, and rep you receive will be multiplied
by some factor.
4) This factor is determined by how many rep levels are between your current
level and your max level, as well as whether or not you are advancing in the
same alignment that you had before.
5) Min factor is (naturally) 1, and the max currently achievable would be
somewhere around 10.
6) One warning - this factor is multiplied in even if you receive negative
rep.
7) Sleep is good.
Oh yes, since you can regain rep faster, I've taken out the 'keep your max
arr' code, so your arr will now reflect your current rep level.
9) Changes effective from quit/re-enter.
10) If you changed alignments relatively recently (i.e. recently enough that
your last rep was logged), I'll be willing to see about updating your 'max
achieved rep'.
