# Reputation system

The reputation system is a quantitative mechanism that evolves based on player actions within the game. This system can fluctuate both positively and negatively depending on various in-game activities such as jobs, attacks, and trades.

## Corporation reputation

Reputation is closely tied to corporations, evolving through actions performed on behalf of these organizations.

> **Note**: as far as i know, corporation reputation cannot be negative.

The current corporations in the game are:

* [ZCORP](https://discord.com/channels/413438871733272576/914476557911879680)
* [TFI](https://discord.com/channels/413438871733272576/914476557911879680)
* [HEX](https://discord.com/channels/413438871733272576/915998388758126633)
* [RTS](https://discord.com/channels/413438871733272576/1042888869139452094)

* [ORK](https://discord.com/channels/413438871733272576/1303983489992888351)

## Faction reputation

Beyond corporations, reputation extends to factions representing NPC communities. The list of factions is expected to evolve as the game develops. Current faction information can be found at this [post](https://discord.com/channels/413438871733272576/963894971772047460).

A crucial strategic aspect of the faction system is the existence of rivalries between factions. When completing jobs for one faction, players often gain reputation with that faction while simultaneously losing reputation with rival factions. This dynamic makes faction choice a critical strategic decision. Players should carefully read faction descriptions on the Discord server before committing to particular factions.

Some examples of current faction rivalries include:

* Quantum Nexus versus Mutants
* Promethean Revenants versus all other factions
* The Lycanox versus Martians (note: this relationship is dynamic)

{% hint style="info" %}
These examples represent only a portion of the existing rivalries. For complete and up-to-date information about faction relationships, players should consult the faction descriptions on the Discord server.
{% endhint %}

### Reputation Impact

A negative reputation results in increasing hostility from the affected faction or corporation. Conversely, maintaining a high reputation can lead to decreased hostility from a given faction. The reputation system includes various criteria that influence its evolution, with calculated impacts to consider.

Reputation directly affects trade prices with both corporations and factions. The pricing of trades will vary based on the player's standing with the respective organization, making reputation management an important economic consideration in the game.
