Ratings and Effects[]
Repute is measured in both positive and negative percentages. The extent to which the Stranger has positive and negative reputation with a faction will impact on their reputation description in the journal, the prices they receive from faction-affiliated vendors, and the hostility of faction members when they are encountered:
