Factory and reputation

[Cabrelbeuk]

Hi guys,

I am trying to improve my reputation with the split and since the traders are now long to upgrade to 3 stars, i decided to build directly stations there.

However i have no idea if it actually works... Are factory trading also improve faction reputation ?

In case you're not aware: you can also hire higher skilled pilots now (5* even).

Otherwise you station tactic can work, in case of station trader ships the manager's skill is considered if the pilot is less trained. Still your ships have to do the trade for rep gains.

My station traders are indeed generating faction reputation for me. This is something I never really watched closely, so, just had to watch my logbook for a little bit to confirm it.

How? Captains from Warfs seem to be only 1 star or so. While random people on platforms still seem unskilled (0-1 star).

It works like normal trade does. A fixed amount of reputation for any transaction happening (1 or more units) and some based on the value of the trade.

Met this guy just now.

Most is still trash but you can run into some nice people. Also found several 3* guys and 2.5* that just needed 1-star seminars to hit 3*. Rng goes till 5* now.
Not the best, having to run around stations clicking the same button but at least they exist..

1 star seminars can only be used on people who's skill is <2 stars. If they are 2.5 star with a skill then 1 star seminars cannot be used, and instead 2 star ones are needed.

4* in morale, 1* in piloting + 1* pilot seminar = 3* trader.

I find 2 stars on station most commonly, 3 stars and above are still rare and that make this a non viable solution when you wanna buy a 20 traders fleet to cover a new area .

Still a progress tho, i agree.

Actually coupling this limited amount of skilled people for (maybe slightly less) high price with an interface which would allow you to recruit them without having to run all around the (huge) place would be a big step.
