To move up the ladder and develop your crew, you need rep. Rep is a measure of clout and renown. When you accrue enough rep, the other factions take you more seriously and you attract the support needed to develop and grow.

When you complete a score, your crew earns 2 rep. If the target of the score is higher Tier than your crew, you get +1 rep per Tier higher. If the target of the score is lower Tier, you get -1 rep per Tier lower (minimum zero).

You need 12 rep to fill the rep tracker on your crew sheet. When you fill the tracker, do one of the following:

• If your hold is weak, it becomes strong. Reset your rep to zero.
• If your hold is strong, you can pay to increase your crew Tier by one. This costs coin equal to your new Tier x 8. As long as your rep tracker is full, you don't earn new rep (12 is the max). Once you pay and increase your Tier, reset your rep to zero and reduce your hold to weak.
