About this File:

The new faction system provides multiple levels to the reputation structure in the game. Instead of only one global reputation per solar system, the player now has unique reputations with various companies, militaries, rebels, guilds, and miners within each system. And each of those reputations now effects the contracts offered to the player, the overall system reputation level, individual ship reputations, and economic/market conditions. Players can now change their reputation by selecting and completing contracts for particular groups and/or attacking ships that are hostile to particular groups. Contracts are now faction specific, meaning objectives will be offered based on the player's reputation and will revolve around the interests of the faction offering it. Essentially, this will mean completing contracts for companies and militaries can lower a player's reputation with rebels (aka pirates) and guilds (aka clans) while completing contracts for rebels and guilds can lower a player's reputation with companies and militaries. A player's overall system reputation will likely increase by staying on the legal side and completing contracts with company/military factions who are generally part of the system's economy and government. Completing contracts with rebels and guilds who often work against the other groups will likely decrease a player's reputation. There are advantages and disadvantages to aligning with one group or the other. The player's reputation with each faction in a system will be displayed in the news console along with the other stats. A series of bar graphs is presented, including color coding, to help make the various levels easier to read. Individual ship affiliations are now displayed on the target detail MFD next to the ID indicator.
