It is mentioned in the Ultimate Guide to TBG, however:

"If you access a starnet terminal, cure a plague at an
alien homeworld, or make an alien enemy, you
accumulate one point of favour every turn, up to your
effective officer skill in the relevant
area....Adventures and combat provide favour that
isn't limited by your effective skill level."

See Section 16:
