I was doing the Graduation Certificate line of missions to grind up a little faction standing. At the end of the 4th mission you meet this guy in a ship. In addition to getting the required mission reward from him he offers a mission of his own. I go ahead and accept it then complete my current mission and then the final Graduation mission.
Here's the thing. Re-reading the mission objectives it says doing it you "will lose" faction to the Caldari State. Ok...my bad for not reading it more closely the first time but no biggie I figure. I don't care about him or his reward overly much and cancel the mission. I get the warning that this may make him not like me but I go ahead anyway. What I did NOT realize is this also dinged my Caldari standings rather badly...more than I made doing the whole stupid Grad thing.
Does this make sense? Something worth petitioning? I do not petition lightly for every little loss but c'mon. I lose Caldari standing for cancelling a mission that would lose me Caldari standing? Hell...Caldari should be thrilled.
Before anyone starts I KNOW I should have read more closely and I know the risks of cancelling missions but this one doesn't make sense.

It's a combined problem between the insane mode standing gains/losses are calculated (well, gains are fine, but losses are not) and the fact the Devs seemed to think nobody except newbie players (or chars that haven't been running missions) would bother with the "graduation" storyline.
Standing gains are a percentage of the difference between +10.0 and your current standing, but standing losses are a percentage of the difference between -10.0 and your current standing.
In other words... it seems to be like this...
+X% standing (gain) "increases" base standing by +X%*(10.0-current) -X% standing (loss) "increases" base standing by -X%*(10.0+current)
So, nobody else sees a problem with that ? _ MySkills | Module/Rig stacknerfing explained |

I see and big one, after i turned down mission before 4h limit (got 3 in row to heavy lagged system) and lost 0.68 standing (9.5 -> 8.8) when for same mission i gain 0.02, so its like gaining back standing for one droped/failed mission take 2+ weeks, thats damn crazy and i was cursing all devs even next day. Now when this same happend i just log off and go play other game instead and came back another day, so i wouldnt call this supporting player interest.
