FD, statement please! Finally got the immense dimension of the reputation bug!

Im further totally sure that I didn't pick a mission for the rebels, I double checked and on the battlefield, I always choose the Mining Company as faction. If I would take a mission for the rebels, I wouldn't fullfill the missions target kill count, would I? .

Actually, you would with the current implementation...
 
I think the rep system is fine.

However the penalty for getting caught or fined is much too harsh.

Working off an 18k fine must have taken me at least 500k worth of missions - madness.
 
freebie missions for the controlling faction which im friendly to are giving me negative rep what is going on with the reputation system it seems totally screwed up
 
Some of you people are way too defensive of any Criticism of the game...

The OP is saying that the punishment for failing at smuggling is WAYYYYYY too harsh.

In a sense, that is what he's saying, but he's claiming that it's a bug when it isn't. I take issue with that. People calling things whatever they want simply due to how they perceive them, instead of checking facts to make sure it really is that way, is something I have a problem with (look around the forums at people misusing the word "troll"). Calling this a bug because the mechanics are obfuscated and unbalanced isn't right. I'm not reacting to him criticizing the game, I do that too. I'm reacting to him making a clearly premature conclusion because something he doesn't like is happening.

He isn't saying there should be no punishment, but as it stands right now, it makes smuggleing not viable at all

And that statement is just flatly incorrect. Smuggling is very easily viable. I've made over half a million doing it thus far, according to my stats, and all of that was done in an eagle or a viper. This goes back to calling one thing something it's not because someone doesn't check to see if that's really the case.

Did mission in Ovi.. something for a fed faction in a sector war-zone - only shot Kappa targets and lost rep with feds - it seems all the combat bonds lose rep as well, even with the faction you cash them. How do you gain ranks as never seem get offered opportunity to gain ranks despite allied status.

Absolutely untrue, and if it were true then Rep would need removing from the game as it would be a meaningless feature.

Rep affects everything, from who attacks you to where you can dock and trade, to what missions you're allowed to take. Everything. Rep is WAY more important than credits, you can have a billion credits but if everyone hates you, it's a lonely world.
I disagree, and I think it makes absolutely no difference in the game as I played it.
