Gameplay-Strategy #7: Regaining Dual Faction

Many players do not have a faction locked in (Reputation over 10M on Federation/Klingon/Romulan) and it is a royal pain to achieve anyways. Loosing dual faction makes dailies harder to complete as well if you don't have very strong ships. Faction reputation can be repaired, but it will take some grinding and giving up some of the daily points.

Highly recommended to not attempt this until you have Pike, for your hostile grinding crew.

To repair a reputation of a faction:
1. Stock up on your main factions resource
2. Stop Mining for your main faction resource
3. Do not join the Reputation Event
4. Start attacking opposing mining ships to gain Reputation Points that you want.
5. Look for Missions that give Reputation points for your target Faction.
6. Redeem Charged Nanoprobes for Faction Points

7. Use the Away Team Stores to your advantage.

This process will take time, and it will hurt on mining events and daily goals
but this will gain dual faction eventually, and make mining easier in more areas.

Once you achieve Neighbor status, start mining in target faction space. Do not mine in primary faction until you can balance the points you will loose in target faction.

Mining Ships
Romulan: Energy Based (Use Chen)
Federation: Energy Based (Use Chen)
Klingon: Kinetic Based (Use T'Laan)

Below is what it looks like when you hit 10M reputation for a faction lock (this one is actually a triple lock). When you hit the last hostile for points, a notification will show that new items are available in the store. The Faction lock is immediate (no need to wait for server reset), as you can hit an opposing hostile and the score will bottom out at 10,000,000. If you go to the Borg Refinery and redeem for faction points, the negatives will gray out to not drop below 10,000,000. You will still loose the points if you have enough to loose in redeem, but never drop below the lock.

Grinding for Faction Reputation also changes the daily goals but improves the rewards, so be careful and make sure that you have a powerful enough ships to take on the next higher hostiles.
