Reputation Effects
Overview
Reputation is a measure of how much a faction likes the player. Reputation levels range from -30 to +30. Gaining reputation is non linear above 0 and it will take exponentially more actions to continue to gain reputation. Below 0 reputation gains linearly with +1 reputation rewarded per enemy faction kill.
Reputation Graph
Internally, the relations between factions (including the player) is stored as a value between -1.0 and 1.0 with the relation to the relation displayed in-game being:
displayed = 10 * log10(actual * 1000)
As the displayed value increases it becomes apparent that exponentially more work is required to raise it and the same applies to lowering it.
