How does Mission Rep Scale?

\o/ for Dominic

What exactly is the "Influence"? Rep I understand.

Influence is the % of a system's population who support that faction.

It's used in a lot of aspects of the Background Sim to determine conflict, expansion, retreat etc. Your best bet is to start with the stickies in the forum area Dom linked, then go from there.

See that's why I asked, I thought Inf applied to me as Rep does- thanks for the clarification that it's part of powerplay to give more influence to a given faction.

Hi there,

You broke the rules... There can be only 5...

Stay where you are.

A retrieval unit has been dispatached to your location.

Thanks,
Dom

Awesome - Will they be flying the Panther Clipper? If so they can take me as I am

Just want to correct you... it doesn't explicitly relate to powerplay.

That powers can get have benefits/difficulties based on what faction is in power is a minor secondary effect, and was not introduced (obviouslt) until Powerplay was introduced.

Influence and it's bgs effects have existed since the game was created, and predates Powerplay. Arguably, most players involved in deliberate manipulation of the BGS do so without any consideration of Powerplay.

Hi Dom

A few questions.

At least ~1⅓, at most... 3 or 4, maybe...

By any chance should that be 1 2/3, or 5/3? You were talking of the ratio between a 3+ and a 5+ mission.

The display is:
numPlusses = rawValue / fuzzFactor

And then that value is clamped between 1 and 5.

So essentially the rep actually received is directly proportional to the monetary value of the mission?

And is fuzzFactor fixed or does it vary according to faction state or some other reason?

If the 3+ is right at the cusp of ticking over and being a 4+, then it's only a little over 1¼ before it would be a 5+ reward.
If it were only just a 3+ then it would be 1⅔ until 5+.
So 1⅓ is somewhere in the middle.

So essentially the rep actually received is directly proportional to the monetary value of the mission?

And is fuzzFactor fixed or does it vary according to faction state or some other reason?

The boosted rep reward is roughly proportional to the number of credits removed from the pure credits reward. Which will tend to increase as credit rewards increase.

The fuzzification factor is fixed.

Thanks,
Dom

There are 19 pages of Q/A containing ??? Q/A/comments- that is a rather large read for a single question. If I get time to read all of that I will.
???=Only God knows.

Somebody reads it all so you don't have to. There is an unofficial index to the BGS forum - details are pinned. It's not perfect but better than nothing.

This is exactly what I've thought for some time now.

Rep missions scale like this:

The more you need, the less you get.

Frontier calls this “Engaging Gameplay”.

The rest of the Multiverse calls this: “Tedious”.

Hi experienced bubble commanders o7

I'm currently grinding the FEDS for my Corvette Build and have a question on Rep Multipliers

Currently i'm doing burning stations with multiple passenger missions providing at best Rep lvl 3 (+++)
To break the boredom once I hit 100% rank I go do a Navy Mission and rank up. My rank up station offers missions for Rep lvl 5 (+++++)

How does this scale?

How many lvl 3 missions = a lvl 5 mission for example?

Many thanks in Advance

how do I find the burning stations

how do I find the burning stations

Go to galaxy map option and switch on Damaged stations

Seriously that simple.. o7 slap in the face

Little off topic but why is the Salute backwards o7 is using the left hand to salute unless that is the back of ur head.
Wouldn't <o be more appropriate?
