| − | === Agents ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Most agents will accept either faction, corp, or personal standings to fulfill their requirement. That means, even if you have no corp standing with Caldari Navy, if you have faction standing with the Caldari State then you will be able to access agents using that faction standing. Likewise if you have no faction standing with Gallente Federation but high corp standings with CreoDron, you will be able to use Creodron agents based on your corp standing. The exception to this is [[R&D agents]]: if you attempt to use your faction standing to access an R&D agent, you must also have the appropriate corp standing up to the agent's requirement -2. If a Kaalakiota agent requires 5 standing and you have 6 standing with Caldari State and 2.5 standing with Kaalakiota, you will not be able to use that agent.<br>

| − | === Derived modifications ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the vast majority of cases, when you gain faction standing you will lose derived standings from factions that dislike them and gain derived standings with factions that like them. The exact amount of hatred or friendliness depends on the two factions' relationship and can be found on a chart like this: [http://www.newedenlibrary.net/eon/faction_standings.shtml http://www.newedenlibrary.net/eon/faction_standings.shtml]<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Gaining and losing faction standing ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Shooting that faction's ships during a mission or complex: Significant standing drop based on the value of the ships destroyed.
| |
| − | *Completing a storyline mission: Small to moderate standing increase depending on the level of the mission.
| |
| − | *Failing a storyline mission: Standing decrease. Unsure whether this still translates into derived positive standings for opposing factions. It used to.
| |
| − | *Being promoted in Factional Warfare: Increase.
| |
| − | *Doing [[Tutorial missions]] for that faction: Small increase. This falls under the category of storyline missions and may only be done once. This includes the 15 career agents per faction as well as the numerous agents who point you in their direction with a small two-part storyline mission.
| |
| − | *Doing [[Datacenter missions]]: Increase, with higher level missions granting more standing. These missions require turning in pirate tags, and may only be done once.
| |
| − | *Doing [[COSMOS missions]]: Increase, with higher level missions granting more standing. These missions are more complex than normal and may require special attention and research. They may only be done once.
| |
| − | *Doing the SoE epic arc: You will be able to choose a faction at the end and you are granted standing with that faction. This does not negatively affect your other factions. Can be redone approximately once every 3 months.
| |
| − | *Doing the L4 epic arcs: CCP has said there will be minimal faction adjustment during these. I have not confirmed though.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Recovering low faction standings ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Quite simply, if you are below -2, you have limited options. First, train Diplomacy skill to as high as you can. This will modify your negative standings upward by a certain percent. You should do all the tutorials, datacenters, and COSMOS missions you can, for both that faction and ones that are friendly with it for the derived standings. Remember even if Caldari State is -3, if Amarr Empire is -1 you will still have access to all the Amarr agents and can even run L4 missions for them which will eventually get you derived storyline standing. If you have no more tutorials, COSMOS, or datacenter missions available, your only recourse are L1 low quality agents (very small faction standing increases with storylines), playing the derived standings game, doing the epic arc, or joining Faction Warfare as detailed below. It's a long road to travel.
| |
| − | *Once you get to -2, you can again access agents with whom you have a high corp standing. Since corp standing can be shared in missioning fleets this can be the fastest way to start doing high level missions again for that faction. Remember you will never gain or lose faction standing from other people's storyline missions when in fleets. This is a common misconception. Only corp standings are shared.
| |
| − | *If you are in a corp, the corp's relationship to each faction is determined by simply averaging all the member's standings together (ignoring members who do not have standing to that faction). This means that even with low faction standing, you may be able to join a corp that qualifies for Factional Warfare, and work your way up through the ranks to recover your faction standing.
| |
| − | *Remember that all this work will be hurting the standings of opposing factions, to the point where they tend to balance out between -1 and 1. It is extremely difficult to get high faction standing (e.g. 5 or 6) with two opposing factions. It is impossible to achieve standings that high with all the Empire factions simultaneously.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Overall recommendations ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Judge early in your career whether or not you want to stay friendly with all empire factions. There are some benefits to this (freedom of travel mainly), which must be weighed against the rewards of achieving excellent standing with one faction.
| |
| − | *If you do want to keep faction standings balanced, the best way is to not let them drop in the first place. Do not kill faction ships (decline those missions), and have a way to balance the effects of storylines once in a while. With good forethought you can avoid the horrible grinding mess that it can be to recover extremely low faction standings.
| |
| − | *It is not difficult to keep positive standings (all above zero) with all the Empire factions simultaneously, even if running only normal missions. Just run missions for a faction when it approaches or dips below zero, and decline all missions which require you to kill an Empire faction's ships.
