16 16  Custom Game Starts were introduced in the 4.10 update and allow for greater flexibility in getting into X4. Custom game starts can be broken down into two types: **Budgeted** and **Creative** Custom gamestarts with the former allowing players to create a start with a few restrictions and will not incur a **modified** tag. The latter is, as its name implies, far more creative and unrestricted but will incur a **modified **tag (preventing online functionality). If players are running mods they will not be able to access the budgeted custom game start and will instead have to play through one of the [[starting scenarios>>doc:Starting Scenarios]] or the creative custom start.

22 22  Budgeted Custom Game Starts require the player to load an existing **unmodified** save before becoming functional, this requirement is based on the need for the budget limits to be calculated on game progress. Budget areas include:
23 23  
24 24  * Monetary Budget
25 25  * Knowledge
26 26  * Personnel
27 -* Relations
23 +* Reputation
28 28  * Research and Plot outcomes
29 29  
30 30  How the budgets are calculated and how to optimise them is outlined [[below>>url:https://www.egosoft.com:8444/confluence/display/X4WIKI/Custom+Game+Starts#CustomGameStarts-CustomStartMetrics||shape="rect"]]

30 +Creative Custom Gamestarts do not require the player to load an existing save and players can experiment from the outset. Creative custom game starts permit the creation of a game start in the exact same way as a budgeted one but without any of the budgetary restrictions (although the player still has a 10,000,000Cr limit). The player also has full control over which plots and research items are completed even if they have not been completed in an un-modified game. Additionally, the player can adjust their faction relations with otherwise locked factions like the [[doc:Xenon]], [[Kha'ak>>doc:Kha'ak]] and [[doc:Scale Plate Pact]] (although this can often have unintended and undesirable consequences). Finally, players can choose whether or not they want highways enabled or disabled and can enable and disable local and ring highways separately.

954 -Changing relations comes at a cost of 1 point per reputation level between 1 and 10 (raising negative reputation levels up to 0 currently incurs no cost). Between 11 and 20 inclusive raising reputation by 1 level costs 10 points. Between 21 and 26 inclusive costs 100 points per level, the jump between 26 and 27 costs 300 points and for every level over 27 it costs 200 points. The total cost of maximising a factions reputation is hence 1,610 points and is impossible to do.
