If you’re looking to advance in Star Trek Fleet Command, finish missions, win battles and get bigger ships, you’re going to need faction reputation.
How do I get Faction Reputation?
- Killing hostiles of the other factions.
- Completing your daily goals
- Completing missions
- Spending resources in the various daily Faction Reputation Events
- Defeating armadas (the only way to gain faction rep without losing any).
- Spending charged nanoprobes in the event store.
Getting Faction Reputation from Killing Hostiles
As with most everything in Star Trek Fleet Command, it’s all about triangles. So if you kill a Federation ship, your Romulan rep will go up a lot, your Klingon rep will go up about half as much, and your Fed rep will go down. Higher-level ships will give you more reputation than lower-level ships. Survey ships will get you more reputation than warships. And scout ships not only give you messages, but they provide you with more reputation than survey ships.

Reputation Levels
Faction “Lock”
When you get your reputation with any of the factions to 10 million, it will lock, meaning that it will never fall below 10 million. No matter how many ships you kill, or missions you do, the lowest your faction rep will go will be 10 million. Dual faction lock and triple faction lock will open up a lot of ships and resources for you.
What’s the Faction Store?
Here you’ll find ship blueprints, loyalty packs, recruit packs, raw materials, avatars, and commendation ranks. You’ll spend the faction credits that you’ll earn on these. In general, you’ll want to save your faction credits for ship blueprints. The loyalty packs are good too but don’t go nuts with those.
And here’s the answer to the question that everyone has asked so far – no, you shouldn’t buy the commendation ranks until you absolutely have to for a mission. They don’t do you any good beforehand, and yes, I really wish someone had told me this before I bought a few.
I can’t imagine why anyone would spend faction credits on avatars… but to each his own.
What About the Augment Faction?
Augments are a horse of a different color. Augment reputation is earned in events, or purchased in the faction store. You can’t get it by destroying ships. It never goes down. Once you get to 10,500,000 you never have to worry about it again.
