What is their purpose ??? I know I get them after doing a tip mission but the next day when I log on there gone due to the 20 hour limit cause my play time is very limited. Do they offer extra rewards or something ??? Can't seem to figure this out or exactly what they are for or do. Let me know. Thanks.

Fame points are part of the side switching system. You need 10 Alignment points to switch your alignment (you get a Morality mission when you have 10)

But tips drop all the time, so they had to put a system in place to keep your from switching back and forth all the time whenever you wanted. So they came up with Fame points. If you have all 5 slots full, any tip missions will not count toward your alignment points.

It's basically so you have to work at switching sides instead of just saying "Oh, I'm a villain now, no wait, a hero, no, now I'm a rogue, wait, I'm a vigilante, now I'm back to being a hero."

You also get Hero or Villain merits for completing morality missions of your own alignment (so if you're a hero and you run a hero Morality mission, you would get a hero merit). Since these can be traded for some of the most powerful IOs in the game, the devs wanted to limit how fast you can acquire them.
