Warzones in Sorbago, how can i return war missions without ruinning my rep???

[Hamerstein]

Are you picking up missions for the Mining Faction aligned with empire? If you are picking up the other faction's missions, you'll lose rep with empire if you complete them and turn them in. These were working for me last night, but I've been at work all day today, and won't be able to test out until I get home in a few hours. I had to go out and farm some kills in warzone with no mission first, made it to friendly status with the station, then I'd get the occasional single mission for warzone offered by the Mining faction.

It's exactly that.

I did it myself last night. Went to the main Mastopolos controlled station to pick up a Military mission in the warzone, when I turned it in I lost rep with Mastopolos - even though I'd sided with them in the warzone. But I noticed I gained rep with the rebels, turns out the rebels are allowed to post missions on the station whom they are opposing...bizarre but there you go.

The one thought I have is did you target traders that were part of the Mining Corporation? That is something that is important to check - you can see it on your contacts tab.

Either way, it's clear something isn't working right, but that could explain at least part of it.

No sir, I've been diligient on that. Went to neighbor system, KWS & check targets before opening fire, made sure they aren't of empire faction at all. Complete opposite experience of what I had the previous night. The night prior, I could go to warzone, with no mission (none offered by Mining Corporation for warzone at that time) and rep up strictly by siding with Mining Coporation and taking out enemy targets. Came back, friendly with station, got a mission for Warzone in system offered by Mining Corporation - more rep up after mission complete. Complete 180 from last night - though it was a different mission.

What concerns me: After having the negative-rep result of the mission that was successful for Mining Corporation, I went back to warzone to farm kills for quite awhile, trying to get some positive rep back. None ever came. Stayed trending down / red arrow down the entire time.

Testing again just now.

Took mission from Hencke Orbital in Sorbago. Warzone mission, kill 5 targets in warzone. Went to warzone, sided with Mining Organization. Killed targets, objective completed. No rep change. Flew to dock, open bulletin board, dialogue says: "Good job, Commander. Just complete the contract to claim reward." (quotes paraphrased, sorry.) Turned in, post-briefing in mission reports red (negative) for civil unrest, and other remaining criteria, Reputation says blue arrow up. However, over on faction status panel: Empire down/red (negative rep) and Mining Organization down/negative rep - even though Mining Organization, aligned with Empire, is the faction that I just successfully completed mission for.

I don't think this is working as intended at all. Unless I've somehow overlooked a very obvious detail, here.

You haven't overlooked anything, it's completely broken. I'm now unfriendly with the Mastopoulos Mining Corp and therefore the Empire despite only ever taking missions from them, siding with the correct faction in the warzone, etc.

I've definitely had this issue. Taken M.Mining combat mission, sided with Mining faction in warzone, killed only "the other side", handed in the mission, got negative Empire and mining rep. The day before it gave me positive reps for precisely the same sequence of events. Bug, ticketed.

So i went to my first warzone...hoping to finally raise some reputation fighting. But as many said everything went ok until i turn the quest.
I took the quest from the empire base, Went to the warzone and helped the imperial fleet didnt even shoot for mistake my team, Returned to empire base turned the quest...bug gained Independ rep and lost empire rep....Sucks hards because it was kinda fun....and i dont see myself doing trades to raise rep.

Yep. I did a mission to kill 5 Warzone ships, lost a big chunk of rep, went down to neutral from friendly with the mining company. Had to run 4 delivery missions to get it back up to friendly again.

I've been doing the same thing, massive rep hit with the quests faction when you hand in the combat missions.

Yes there is a bug in there - or more likely an oversight - in that you are even able to get a running tally mission credit for shooting the same-factioned ships that offered you the mission to begin with. This is something that was observed in an earlier phase of beta, but I personally haven't seen it / been in the right scenario to reproduce that exact situation. Bear in mind, however: You will get rep for empire faction for killing the enemy ships, however upon turning in the mission, you are seeing the latest change in rep based on that mission turn-in. So, if I'm understanding how things seem to be currently working, you are likely gaining a little rep for the individual kills, but if you are then turning in the mission that was offered by the opposing faction rather than the empire-aligned faction, and since that is the latest change to rep, it shows it trending to the negative - red arrow down for empire.

I've been extra careful on what faction I've been taken quests from. I've taken a combat mission from the Empire Mining company, killed Defence Force ships, handed it in and got a rep hit with the miners. But It was late I just couldn't be bothered with it, so I went to bed.

I'll see if I can replicate it tonight and ticket it.

That screen shows you took the mission for the Liberals of Sorbago, not the M. Mining Corporation. M. Mining Corp is the Empire-aligned faction. Liberals of Sorbago is the enemy. Unfortunately, you took a mission from the wrong faction. Even though you sided with the M. Mining in the warzone, you still technically got a mission complete based off a generic kill counter (not checking faction type in missions, it seems) -- End result: you technically completed a mission for the enemy, gained rep with them, lost rep with Empire and M. Mining.

The problem I've been having is even when absolutely certain I've taken mission from M. Mining for the warzone, shooting the Liberal factions ships, and turning the mission in successfully, it still results in negative rep with Empire/M. Mining faction, and no positive gain in any other faction.

Still broken today for me. (so far I've had 3 negative rep missions, the last 3 I have done...)
And no, I am NOT picking the wrong missions OR shooting the wrong people
Did a warzone mission for the Miners (as usual...)
Killed 5 targets (goal was 3),
Turned it in, got negative rep with both empire factions in system and with the Empire... Sigh.

Yep. That's consistently been the result for me since Wednesday. It seemed to work fine on launch day, but not anymore. It's as if faction gains/losses for empire are now reversed for me. Do a mission for them and I get negative rep.

Not to mention, the influence has been stuck at 28% for half of the week now. I doubt the dynamic aspect is working at all atm...
