Locked Due to Reputation

[alpha117]

Evening All,

newbie question. What does this mean and how do I change it? Also the coloured bars on each mission; what do they mean(red, yellow, greeen)

Many thanks

your reputation is Neutral, you probably need to get friendly or even allied to the faction for them to trust you to take on the mission.

Underneath the Locked To Rep it says Friendly

So you need to be status at least ... Friendly.

Wouldn't worry about those colours.

As you do more and more missions for a faction, you will gain reputation with them and they will unlock more missions for you.

I don't know what the colors mean, actually. Never paid attention to them

The colors are supposed to be an at-a-glace way to see "threat level" without having to pull up the detailed mission briefing. If I remember right, green is Threat 0-1, yellow is 2-4, and red is threat 5. Those numbers could be off, but now that you know what it should mean you can figure out the tiers yourself.

The problem with that, though, is that the "threat levels" for foot missions are basically useless for accurately describing potential danger.

Yep, they're fairly misleading. The threat level is the "quality" of NPC you'll encounter, but the "quantity" remains up in the air. For example, I've gone on threat 1 missions where I've ended up massively outnumbered in a pitched battle with NPCs coming in on dropships seemingly forever. I've also gone on threat 5 missions where absolutely nothing happened and it was a walk in the park.
