1.3.05 all red down arrow on ALL major factions and related subfactions!

Nope. It won't go to neutral. It only goes from 'extremes' to the next level. So from Allied to Friendly, or Hostile to Unfriendly, where it will stop.
Unless, of course, they've broken it more than we've seen thus far, which I won't rule out just yet.
I cashed out most of my ships locations prior to Power Play. It was going to be dangerous getting to them.
That's standard practice for all game devs. if they can save money it will be saved in QA and testing - as you chumps are unpaid testers. Been like that for years.
You do realise that there is no way to practically (i.e., economically) load test a modern MMO game without just releasing it? You can beta 'til you're blue in the face and have people whining that you never update and you'll still find a ton of issues when several hundred thousand people start playing 'for real'...

It will be still Allied if you are allied already , it will just be lower down on the allied 'scale' , after a while it will end up at the top of the 'friendly' part of the scale and stop there...
I was away for 1 week and I am now friendly with all independent subfactions instead of allied. That's not supposed to happen but it happened anyway.

If I were you I would file a ticket with support, and if they can't restore your reputation, make a very big deal about it here on the forums. Because this is exactly why I have been saying ever since I noticed minor faction rep decay on the day that 1.3 went live - every day a fix for this is delayed, would hurt all the people who have ever deliberately brought up one or several independent factions.

Wouldn't hurt I guess... Sure I'll do a ticket...
EDIT: Made a ticket in the support site, but since they said they are not going to respond to bug tickets and want me to post on the support forum if I want to talk about it, I also made a post in the support forum.

Rep decay and repairs seem both to be handled that way: every time something is fixed, some other thing breaks. They finally made it so rep decay goes to the major factions (the arrows on the minor factions just mirror the effective rep, you actually need not really worry about those any more), but increased the decay rate like 1 tick/hour.
Ok, that is intresting. I belived it was on me but...
On my trade route, iam trading the same stuff since ages. But since the last patch i get strange red arrow readings on the factions in these two systems.
With every completed trade run these factions get different arrows, sometimes no arrows, somtimes on blue 2 red arrows, sometimes 2 red arrows. Total random.

This is exactly what i was thinking, glad im not the only one.
Messa can sympathise with yousa.
When we all asked for bugs, we were thinking of alien space bugs. *sigh*
When you sell goods, you gain reputation with the owner of the station. A part of this reputation effect carries over to the major faction. The reputation and reputation changes displayed are the net result of individual and major faction reputation combined. So reputation decay lowers Federation rep, which lowers effective (not individual) minor faction rep. Now you sell goods to one minor faction, their rep goes up, blue arrow. Federation gains some rep, too, so possibly a blue arrow (if the effect is stronger than the last tick of rep decay). If you sell goods at a different station, the rep with their owners goes up, too, etc. So everywhere you sell goods should eventually show blue arrows, the major factions should, too, and the minor factions should show red or blue arrows depending on how much major faction rep you gained and lost in total. Independent factions should not be affected by these mechanics, and only change according to your actions directly towards them.
