STFC: Rep Grinding Crew

To increase your Reputation with the Factions in STFC quicker, you can use specific crew combinations.

In Star Trek Fleet Command, you can gain and lose reputation with 3 different factions. Reputation essentially refers to how much a faction likes or dislikes you.

If you increase your Reputation with Klingon, Romulan and Federation, you will unlock new bonuses, missions and vessels.

Although you will earn and lose Reputation as you advance in STFC, you may decide to farm Reputation to increase your rank with a Faction quicker. To help you grind Reputation, you can use specific crew members.

Even though there are different Factions, players can use the same crew to grind Faction Reputation. We recommend that players use Ent-E Picard as the captain of the vessel, with Five of Eleven, The Doctor and Alonzo Freeman on the lower deck.

If you are a low-level player, or you have yet to obtain the recommended crew, you can use Next Gen La Forge, Next Gen Crusher with either Grace Chen or T’Laan.

All of these officers have amazing abilities that will help you vanquish enemies, and this will increase your Reputation with a Faction based on the enemy that you defeat.

Players who want to improve their Klingon Reputation can use the crew to destroy Romulans. This will also slowly improvise your Federation Reputation.

However, if you want to increase your Reputation with Federation quicker, you have to vanquish Klingon hostiles from the galaxy.

To improve your Romulan Reputation, we recommend that you destroy Federation enemies. This will also gradually increase your Klingon Reputation.

Reputation Ranks

As you increase your Reputation with a specific Faction, you will progress through the Reputation Ranks.

Keep in mind that some levels will give you access to new missions and vessels. The table below lists the Reputation Ranks that you can progress through:

Reputation level	Reputation points
Enemy	-2 000 000 to -500 000
Neutral	-499 to 499
Neighbor	5000 to 24 999
Favored	100 000 to 499 999
Consort I	500 000 to 1 199 999
Associate I	2 000 000 to 4 999 999
Celebrated	30 000 000 to 49 999 999
Esteemed	80 000 000 to 139 999 999
Legend I	15 000 000 000 to 15 999 999 999

Officer abilities

Before using the recommended crew to grind Reputation, you should consider their abilities:

Name	Abilities
Five of Eleven	Captain ability: Five of Eleven increases the Shield Deflection, Armor and Dodge by 200% of the total Health of all Officers on the ship Officer ability: He increases the number of resources your ship receives from hostiles
Ent-E Picard	Captain ability: Increases the reward gained from enemies by 60% Officer ability: Increases Isolytic Cascade damage by 3% for 3 rounds every time you attack a non-Armada hostile
The Doctor	Officer ability: When you take hull damage, he increases your Armor, Shield Deflection and Dodge by 300% of Health for 2 rounds Below Decks ability: Increases all resources dropped by hostiles
Alonzo Freeman	Officer ability: He increases the Cargo size of the ship Below Decks ability: He increases  the base amount of positive Federation, Romulan and Klingon reputation gained from defeating hostiles by 10%

Which Faction should you choose?

As previously mentioned, you can gain Reputation Points for the Federation, Klingon and Romulan Factions. Unfortunately, when you earn Reputation with 1 Faction, you may be losing Reputation with another.

It is therefore impossible to increase your Reputation with all 3 Factions simultaneously. Commanders have to choose the Faction with which they want to increase their Reputation.

However, it does not matter which Faction you choose as you will get a variety of bonuses by increasing your Reputation with all 3 Factions.

We recommend that you increase your Reputation with a specific Faction until you reach a Faction Lock. You can then focus on increasing your Reputation with another Faction to unlock additional rewards.

Faction Lock

Needless to say, choosing a Faction is important, but fortunately, you do not have to be exclusively devoted to one.

In Factions like Klingon, Romulan and the Federation, your Reputation can decrease or increase based on the specific actions in the game.

These Factions all feature 3 Reputation locks at 10 million points, 1 billion points and 15 billion points. When you reach a Reputation Lock, your Reputation will not go below that Lock.

With this system in place, you can increase your Reputation with other Factions without worrying about losing Reputation with other Factions.

We recommend that you increase your Reputation with a Faction until you reach 10 million points.

You can then focus on increasing your Reputation with the other Factions until they reach 10 million Reputation Points. Gamers can follow the same strategy until they reach 15 billion points.
