| Characters with [[Reputation_Skills|Reputation]] (either purchased or earned) can use one of their Reputations to make a request for information from the associated Faction or MegaCorp authorities. The response will usually come in your character pack at the next event you attend, but may be delivered by an NPC or plot character. Note that the quality and type of information you receive will be informed by how many ranks of Reputation you have with the relevant group, as well as any other Reputations you have. Higher Reputation is more likely to give you more useful and accurate information. Some requests may not produce a useful answer, usually because the group you are asking does not have the required knowledge. | Characters with [[Reputation_Skills|Reputation]] (either purchased or earned) can use one of their Reputations to make a request for information from the associated Faction or MegaCorp authorities.

| + | The [[Spacer Collective]] offers a messaging service to send messages across the Orion Sphere to named contacts. You can use this facility to send a message to an NPC contact whose name you know. Each message you send using this method costs 10 Energy Chits, and does not guarantee a response. Longer messages may cost additional Energy Chits, so shorter messages are encouraged. | ||

| + | Sending messages in this way is one of the primary means of engaging with political powers that normally operate above the abstraction layer of the game, and can also be done in uptime at events. | ||
