Are you supposed to be able to go over 100 rep with a faction?

[Adam_Taylor]

From what I understand in the game files:

"AlliedReputation" : 80,
"MaxReputation" : 100,

That should mean that your rep bar should stop at 100, correct?
Has anyone else gone over 100?

I've managed to get over 200 rep with some factions. Yet when trying to do a 4 skull mission for them, I'm told my rep isn't high enough. I've been trying to figure out if it's a bug, or my story progression isn't high enough.

Has anyone else been able to pass 100? Has it caused any issues in your game?
Has anyone been able to do a 4+ skull mission without going past Liberate: Panzyr in the story? That's the last mission I've done. All my play time has just been doing random missions.

 

[Varkin]

You can get rep over 100.

 

[Adam_Taylor]

Thank you. So that's at least one possibility for why I can't do 4+ skull missions ruled out.

So it's either tied to MRB (mine's over 900, but the stars are all greyed out, so also a glitch?). Or it's just tied to the story and I'm locked out of certain difficulty missions until I advance it.

If it's a travel mission, the planet it's on is probably in one of the regions you aren't allowed to go to. The travel restrictions are lifted after you complete the main story.

 

[Adam_Taylor]

No, it's Brinton in the Taurian territory. I can fly there. I just can't do 4+ skull missions for some reason. Both the Suns and Capellans offer them, and I've over 100 rep with both. But it always says my rep's too low.

I went past 100 reputation with two factions and was able to do 4 star missions, although they were in 2,5 star system (not sure if that matters).

I'm thinking that might be what decides it.

I went to Brinton, which is a 3 1/2 skull system. But the last story mission I did was Liberate Panzyr.
If you're further, it's possible there's a story trigger to let you do higher rank missions.

 

[Kuroko_Fey]

It is story based. Specifically, you need to hit the story milestones that set the contract difficulty scope to include missions of the difficulty you’re trying to attempt.

The fact that these missions can spawn before you’ve expanded the scope to include them seems to be a bug.

By the way, the highest reputation level that has an impact on contract difficulty is Friendly. Allied doesn’t give you more access to contracts, just improves payout / store discounts, so don’t spend hours grinding rep to unlock contracts, as I may have

 

[Adam_Taylor]

So, which story missions are needed to up your max mission level?

 

[Grim Draken]

The storyline faction, the Arano Resto definitely piles up rep above 100.

I've completed the campaign, have 100 rep for Free Worlds and still get "your rep is too low" missions for them. I wonder if its actually MRB rating is too low, not rep itself causing the issue. My MRB rating is almost 900.

Could even be a different faction offering a high level mission, but your rep with them is too low. Until I have all factions at 100 rep I cannot confirm.

 

[Fefnir Eindraer]

I got 157 rep with the federated suns and I still find missions that stat I do not have enough reputation to do. So im wondering what these 5 star missions want from me?

 

[Adam_Taylor]

Hopefully someone can figure out what story missions we need to do to access these.

 

[Grim Draken]

But that's the thing, if you've completed the campaign, like I have, there ARE no more story missions.

 

[Nipsnaps]

Pretty sure a tooltip somewhere in the game states it is either your faction OR mercenary rep that limits available missions. So get those stars up?

I also havnt completed the campaign at a mission called smithonion (I think its called) - but trying to do 4-4.5 skull missions and cant seem to get them. But as someone mentioned in is it tauren space the contracts I do not qualify for. Granted I havnt grinded rep with the factions yet but Id like to know if that would help or do I just need to finish the story.

You need to complete "Liberation: Smithon" and the mission immediately following after it (where you have to stop a dropship from escaping). This mission unlocks assault mechs as enemies, which is required to complete those 4+ skull missions. Source: did that last night.

Awesome. That's good to know. I'll have to get through those then.

That does unlock general 4 ones but there are faction ones like Davion in Taurian space which are 4-4.5 and still aren't selectable. Have you been able to take run those Davion ones? (i'm at work so unfortunately can't tell you the planet names I was looking at).

 

[Herbert West]

Rep can go over 100, but does nothing past 100.

So lets say House Liao likes you 145. You can now afford to take missions against the Liao, abd unless you go below 80, you will still count as allied.

 

[Holy.Death]

Where are you in the story?

After Liberation Panzyr.

However, I was doing quite a lot of contracts for the Arano Restoration, the Capellan Confederation and some for the Magistracy of Canopus, allowing me to get over 200 Mercenary Review Board Rating. So that might be what keeps you from not being able to launch harder missions. By the way, the missions weren't for a faction - they were both for the Planetary Government.
