both HoC and SoC reputation is based on mission progress from what ive seen

Correct. It's not CS to have dynamic factions

HoC is the same as far as i can tell but depends on player choice on the story

Cheaper repairs, cheaper guides, better trade deals, and, ooh, actually not getting shot by that faction compared to bad relations where they do
