And only faction rep affects the missions you are offered. Superpower rep does not. So there must be a different reason if the mission quality drop you saw was due to lowered minor faction rep.

I'm also based at a station with a mix of Fed and Imp factions, and I specifically sought it out for that reason.

Hmmmm....I guess I've angered the natives. Now I have to go back to playing nice!


Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as "bad luck.”
