Hey all,
My understanding of Minor Faction reputation is that is shouldn't degrade once earned, unless the player takes specific actions that erodes said reputation, i.e. killing their ships.
However, this "understanding" is being challenged by my recent experience...
Over the years, I've bookmarked several locations where I've done various activities repeatedly. So, the likes of a good passenger pickup location, one with decent mining, active CZ'd (at the time) or good BH opportunities etc. On a whim this evening, I decided to visit one of my old haunts where I'd done a fair few passenger missions, raising my standing with the local faction to at least friendly, but many allied... or so I thought.
However, once I docked at the bookmarked station, all of the Factions are a the default starting reputation of "Neutral". Most interesting is that they're all Neutral at the exact same level on the Reputation progress bar, I can't see a pixel in it over seven factions. So, either, by some astronomical improbability, I managed to equally impress and annoy each of these factions enough to balance out my standing in this way while doing passenger missions, or something has been "reset".
Now, I cannot tell you exactly when I was last in this system but it'll certainly have been no more recent than last summer. I'm aware there have been game updates in that time of course, but could any of them lead to this bizarre reputation equality across all factions?
This isn't a huge issue, nor do I care overly much from a mission offers perspective, though I am perplexed how this might happen.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Scoob.
