Abandoning a mission vs letting it run out

I assume abandoning a mission vs letting it run out has exactly the same effect, but I'm not 100% sure.

I've never notice any difference, but I've never paid much attention either. Thought I'd just through the question out and see what people said.

To my best knowledge, Abandoning Missions was nerfed due to being abused (both for Smuggling Exploits and BGS Hitman purposes) in the distant past.

I assume Abandoning a Mission holds maybe 10% of the -Inf effect - if at all - compared to truly failing it [as by Mission criteria, i.e. Timeout] on the BGS.

Unsure about the differences when it comes to a Faction i.e. sending you Hunter NPCs due to a large amount of failed Missions. I believe Reputation with the affected Faction plays the biggest role.

All I know is that I abandoned one last night and got knocked down from "allied" to "friendly" with the mission giving faction.

I've seen this effect mentioned a couple of times now.

I abandoned a couple of missions yesterday and it made virtually no difference. Is there a an "Allied ++" rating i.e. does long standing service count more than recently acquired Allied status?

Try abandoning a couple of Rep +++++ missions - that'll do it for you.

I don't think so, as I've been allied with Federal Congress forever, but I took a mission (one of those nebulous goal missions) and it turned out they wanted me to destroy 48 enemy ships, so I said no thanks). But I did an assassination mission for them last night and I'm allied again. Ho hum.

I read somewhere that if you abandon before leaving the station it has no effect.

Correct, if you accept a mission at a station, then deceide not to do it, you can abandon prior to leaving the station. Once you have left, it differs slightly as to effecting rep and or inf between abandon and lateness.

On a related note, does your rep' with a faction continue to be "banked" even after you reach Allied status?

I reached Allied status with my local "mafia" ages ago and, while generally law-abiding, I continue to take shady missions from them and I tend to ignore their Wanted ships at RES's and Nav Beacons.

Recently, however, I've been attacked by their ships at USSs and in the course of missions and, upon destroying them and claiming bounties, I think "Oh well, I guess I'll have to work my way back up to Allied again" but it turns out that my rep' with them hasn't ever budged from max-Allied.

It's as if my status is really at, say, "180%" and attacking their ships might be dropping it down to "160%" but, cos it's still way above 100% it remains at maximum.

Well I inadvertantly timed out a mission and went from Allied into friendly.

So yes it seems that abandoning has less consequences.

I would say NO is doesnt get banked.
I play for a minor faction and have done many missions just for them over a year or two.
The other day I abandoned 1 mission and dropped 2 ranks.
So on that my guess is no it doesn't bank :(

Weird.

Not sure why I seem to be able to get away with shooting up LHS 20 Organisation ships without losing rep' with them. [where is it]

I guess, shooting a few of their ships due to mission interdictions or uss attacks is just not enough for a significant drop in rep. Otherwise my rep would constantly drop around my home system. If you didn't ignore them at the res sites you would probably see an impact pretty soon.
Would be nice if there was some kind of rep reserve above allied, but I'm pretty sure that's not the case.

To guess again ... :)
I would say that the mission I abandoned probly had a rep+++++ option.
and guessing again but if 1 +rep is >= to say 20 ships ? then for a 5 rep+++++ you would need to kill 100+ ships to see the same result ?

Totally guessing :)
