Generally speaking, the higher our reputation with a Faction, the more they like us. Conversely, the lower our reputation, the more we're disliked. Good reputation leads to missions, improved trading discounts, the availability of Licenses in the more lawful systems of Albion and Omicron Lyrae (resulting in increased mission variety, rewards and cash bonuses for shooting hostiles), and not getting shot in the face.
