In [[Elite Dangerous]] players can change their '''Reputation''' with the three major factions to either Allied, Friendly, Neutral, Unfriendly, or Hostile. All players start out as Neutral with all three major factions and by doing missions or other [[influence]] increasing activities can improve their reputation with that faction. When a player performs activities that would decrease a faction's influence (e.g. pirating or failing missions) the player's reputation with that faction will decrease. When a player has a negative (current value unknown) reputation with a faction they will be attacked on sight by NPCs that represent that faction.

Your reputation goes up whenever you do good things for the faction. Completimg missions, join combat zones on their side when they're at war. If they control a station, then doing anything profitable at that station gives you a reputation boost: selling cargo for a profit, handing in bounty vouchers, even handing in exploration data, will all give you a rep boost.

Negative rep is doing the opposite. Failing or abandoning thier missions, selling trade goods at a loss, blowing up their ships or (if they own a station) Authority ships, that sort of thing.

When your status with a major faction is above 75% Friendly, it will slowly decay down to 75%, by a percentage point every couple of days. Reputation decay happens whether you're logged into the game or not. To stay Allied you have to keep doing good deeds that gain you reputation for the major faction.

There's also anti-decay for negative reputation. Whilst you your reputation with a super power is below neutral but under 25% it will gradually climbs up to 25%. To clear negative reputation with a major faction you must climb back to neutral to prevent negative decay.

To clear negative reputation with a major faction you must do the following: (1) If your status with a major faction is at Hostile, you must wait for the Reputation decay mechanic to bring it back up to unfriendly (2) Once your status with a major faction is a at Unfriendly, you need to complete missions and do other positive reputation actions until you are back to Neutral Status.
