I feel like it could be really cool if (for modes like hard and impossible) if you were to have over a certain firepower of your faction in that sector (it would be a large amount to have any huge effects) there's a 5% chance of the NEUTRAL faction attacking you as they feel threatened by your fleet existing.

Absolutely! There should be a way to turn this off if the player chooses, I always wondered why factions build mines after you sold asteroids to them but not stations
