Reputation System

The personal Reputation System is unlocked at level 50 and allows players to earn reputation with different factions or groups within Star Trek Online.

Its general setup is similar to the Fleet Advancement System - By completing projects requiring faction-specific marks and various other resources, the player can advance through five tiers per faction, unlocking new items and abilities that are specific to that faction or group. Unlike the Fleet Advancement System, a player does not need to be part of a fleet and it is a completely individual track. The Reputation System was added with Season 7 and can be accessed from the Character Status window (default keybind U).

During the Bonus Marks Weekend Event, the amount of all rewarded faction-specific marks is increased by 50%.

Sponsorships

In Season 8 Reputation Sponsorship Tokens became available for characters reaching Tier 5 of a Reputation System, allowing sponsorship of alternate characters on the same player account. Sponsorship Tokens are available as Upgrade projects for 100 Marks of the specific reputation, giving an account-bind-on-pickup Token and the Sponsor title of the respective reputation system. The token can be transferred only through the Account Bank, and claimed by a lower Tier character as Upgrade project, doubling his Reputation XP rewarded by the reputation projects.
