Dude, if no one likes you, that isn't their fault.
Besides, there are no "off-limits areas". You can venture that if you want to risk it. I know, because I enjoyed doing just that.
There's nothing like invading a big alliance space, get chased by multiple pilots, and by some skilled (and lucky!) piloting managing to escape alive. All the while knowing that one screwup would cost the whole ship.
