My character works for the Machines. What would be the best way to get Machine rep in order to unlock the Critical Missions? Thanks.
Grinding rep?

You have to run through the Tyndall Zion missions first, then Agent Gray will be in touch.
I think they meant they allready did that part. To be able to do the critical missions you have to get around 50 reputation to get the full months worth. Only way to do that is to do the standard missions and all the sub story critical missions that come up.
Thanks ReProgrammed for the help. And you were right in that I have finished the newbie Zion missions. What kind of standard mission gives the best rep?

Okay, now I know how much rep you need to get all the critical missions. However, that still does not answer my question. What are the best standard missions to run to get all this rep?

After that the % lowers till you get to around 120 where it's around 1% >,<

All standard missions no matter the length, "size" or difficulty have the same chance of giving you reputation points. Once you get closer to MAX REP, which is 127, the percentage chance gets smaller. Archive missions do not effect your reputation.
"Size" has no bearing on anything, btw. At all.

I have kind of the samething: trying to grind rep with a new character. First, I was at -115 Machine rep. So, once I decided I wanted to get back of Grey's bright side. I started doing courier/tiny/easy mishes. These have been yielding one machine point per mish, and I have quickly gone from -115 to a mere -90. At this rate I expect an invitation to Agent Paces Christmas party!
The courier/tiny/easy yield few xps, of course. But you can knock them off quickly, often without fighting, which certainly saves time, and suits me fine. I pack hacker for map download, and to hack mission computers. I also carry Pick Locks. This obviates the need, usually, to fight people for keys or cards or whatever, which also contributes to efficiency.
Good luck!
Using spy certainly makes missions go a lot faster when you get to use sneak attacks too. You can take down most boss NPCs (your assassination target, or strong three chevrons) with a sneak attack and a leg sweep using "Find Weakness" (at least on Medium/Hard. Easy is a different story of course.)

Fractor FTMFW!yeah I remember that site. We have been begging for a higher % chance to gain a rep point at the higher numbers or another way of grinding it, but no luck V.v. Not like there is any real meaning to maximum rep other then having that completed goal.

I live for the day I see "maximum" as my zion rep./as

I had max rep zion 127. Since my change. I cant get passed 122. Seems more of the vet players who were constantly running missions have 124-127 rep.
Actually in early release, players got a 100% chance of getting a rep point per mission, but that was soon changed to reflect the current, impossibly harsh system we have now (at the highest end of the scale).
I'm still supporting the guaranteed rep for crits idea.
