In STFC, you can reach Faction Lock Levels at 10 million points, 1 billion points and 15 billion points to unlock various bonuses.
There are different Factions that you can join in Star Trek Fleet Command (STFC). if you increase your rank with the Factions, you will receive various advantages, including exclusive vessels and protection in their space.
Keep in mind that with the Federation, Romulan and Klingon Factions, your reputation can decrease or increase based on your actions in the game.
For instance, if you choose the wrong side in a mission, or destroy your Faction’s vessels in their space, you will lose reputation points.
We therefore recommend that you only focus on 1 Faction at a time until you reach a Faction Lock. Currently, there are only 3 Faction Lock Levels that you can achieve.
For the Factions above, there are Faction Lock Levels at 10 million points, 1 billion points and 15 billion points.
When you reach one of these Faction Lock Levels, your reputation will not go below that Lock. This provides players with a unique advantage when they want to increase their reputation with other Factions.
This principle does not apply to the Augment, Outlaw and Bajoran Factions. This is because they do not have Faction locks, which means that your Reputation will not decrease.
How to obtain Faction Reputation
To increase your Reputation with a specific Faction, you have to complete activities and tasks. Players can defeat hostiles of other Factions to increase their reputation with a specific Faction.
For instance, if you kill a Federation vessel, your Romulan Reputation will increase.
You can also complete Faction missions, spend resources in the various Faction Reputation Events and defeat Armadas to earn Reputation.
Rep farming crew
Although you can farm reputation with any crew, some crews will enhance the amount of reputation you earn when you vanquish enemies. Even if there are different Factions, you can use the same crew to farm Reputation Points.
We recommend that you use Ent-E Picard as the captain of the ship with Five of Eleven, Doctor and Alonzo Freeman on the lower deck.
If you are yet to obtain these officers, you can use Next Gen La Forge, Next Gen Crusher with either T’Laan or Grace Chen.
Which Faction should you choose
You cannot increase your Reputation with all 3 Factions simultaneously, so we recommend that you increase your Reputation with a specific Faction until you reach one of the Faction Lock Levels.
You can then increase your Reputation with another Faction until you reach a Faction Lock. We recommend that you follow this strategy until you reach the highest Reputation Lock Level.
