'''Faction standings''', '''corporation standings''', and '''agent standings''' are a measure of how much an NPC entity likes or dislikes another entity. They are most well known in the context of [[missions]] and Crimewatch but they affect some other gameplay systems too. Standings are measured on a real number scale from -10 to +10. A standing of -10 is tantamount to complete and total loathing and conversely, +10 is complete and total adoration.

== Faction standings ==

Faction standing is the strongest NPC standing. Faction standing gives access to [[Agent|agents]] from all corporations belonging to that faction. This includes normal agents, [[COSMOS]] agents, and [[epic arc]] agents (L3 for pirate epic arcs, L4 for empire epic arcs). Unmodified faction standing of 0.0 or higher is also a requirement for joining [[faction warfare]].

Most agents will accept either faction, corp, or personal standing to fulfill their requirements. 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. 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. COSMOS agents are another exception in that they only care about your faction standing and don't care about your corp standing
