Just swapped my bounty hunting Eagle for my trading Hauler, and noticed that one mission previously available at the station had now become unavailable due to lack of trust. It was one of those "kill N ships of type X", so apparently the ship you're piloting affects how much factions trust you with particular mission types.
Missions Unavailable due to Lack of Trust

That's weird and not right, I'd ticket that.
Or maybe your rep just went down for some reason
Some odd things happen sometime - I can have a list of say 12 missions available from a faction I am friendly with, I accept one, and a certain bunch of 5 or 6 are still on the board, but have moved to unavailable due to lack of trust. So far I have just assumed that is because they trust me a little less, nervously awaiting to see if I complete the mission I accepted, and if I am only just friendly with them, that might be enough to tip the scales. Could be something similar here, would certainly be interesting if ship type does make a difference too, and could make some sense, how well armed you are might increase or decrease their faith and worry that you'll be able to complete a mission for instance.
Or it could be a bug, in both cases. Hmm.

Now, with the cargo hauling done, I've swapped back to my Eagle, and sure enough - four(!) missions (two "big game hunting" missions and two "kill N ships of type X") went from unavailable to available. So I do think they have more faith in an Eagle pilot to do those kinds of jobs than they have in a Hauler pilot. And I really can't blame them.
Conversely, I'd expect them to prefer Hauler pilots when it comes to courier missions, but I haven't been able to verify that yet.
