Build Reputation and Unlock Better Contracts
Understanding the Reputation System
Each corporation tracks your standing separately. Completing delivery contracts and salvage missions raises your reputation with that specific faction. Higher reputation directly unlocks:
- More lucrative delivery contracts
- Rare and specialized items in depot shops
- Better pricing on purchases
- Access to higher-tier jobs
Prioritizing Contract Completion
Focus on contracts from one or two corporations initially to build standing quickly. Smaller contracts complete faster and still award reputation, so use them to climb the reputation ladder. As your standing increases, check the depot interface regularly for newly unlocked contracts.
Tracking Progress
Use your RIVET block's depot log to monitor reputation across all factions you've encountered. Plan your trading routes to visit depots where you're close to reputation milestones. Completing contracts consistently ensures steady progression and access to the mod's best rewards and exclusive components.
