== Faction standings ==

Faction standing is the strongest NPC standing. Faction standing gives access to 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]].

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

The faction standing also has the most serious effect if it gets too low. At -5.00 faction standing navy vessels will chase you down in high security space that belongs to that faction. As long as you pay attention you can travel through their space as they will not point your ship but just attack and web.

The formula for standing increase is

:<math> \text{New standing} = \text{Old standing} + ( 10 - \text{Old standing} ) \times \text{Standing increase} </math>

:<math>\displaystyle \text{New standing} = \text{Old standing} + ( 10 - \text{Old standing} ) \times \text{Standing increase} </math>

The formula for standing decrease is almost the same, just towards -10

=== Derived standings ===

Every time you gain faction standing from a mission other than epic arc ~~mission~~ you will also ~~gain~~ derived standings. You will ~~automatically lose~~ standings with factions that ~~dislike~~ the faction and ~~gain~~ standings with factions that ~~like~~ them. The gains and losses depend on the [https://web.archive.org/web/20180313111844/http://www.newedenlibrary.net/eon/faction_standings.shtml inter faction relationships] and are usually smaller than the original standing increase. This makes it very hard to gain high faction standing with more than two empire factions or both pirate and empire factions.

You will gain standings with factions that like the faction and lose standings with factions that dislike them.

This makes it very hard to gain high faction standing with more than two empire factions or both pirate and empire factions.

The derived standing modifier is based on the standing of the secondary faction towards the faction you work with and the ratio of the sizes of these two factions.

:<math> \displaystyle\text{Inter-Faction Standing Modifier} = \text{ Secondary Faction’s standing view of Primary Faction } \times \frac{ \text{Primary Faction Size } }{ \text{Secondary Faction Size } }</math>

: <math> \displaystyle \text{Inter-Faction Standing Modifier} = \text{ Secondary Faction’s standing view of Primary Faction } \times \frac{ \text{Primary Faction Size } }{ \text{Secondary Faction Size } }</math>

If you gain ''Gain%'' amount of standing with a faction then the derived standing to another faction is

:<math> \displaystyle\text{ Derived Standing% } = \text{Gain%} \times \frac{ \text{Inter-Faction Standing Modifier } }{ 10 }</math>

: <math>\displaystyle \text{ Derived Standing }% = \text{Gain }% \times \frac{ \text{Inter-Faction Standing Modifier } }{ 10 }</math>

For example, you complete a storyline mission to the Minmatar Republic and gain 2% faction standing towards the Minmatar Republic. This will give you -1% derived standing towards Amarr Empire, +1% derived standing towards Thukker Tribe and many others.

When you lose faction standings you will also get negative derived standings with friends of that faction. But you will NOT get positive derived standings with their enemies.

When you lose faction standings you will also get negative derived standings with friends of that faction. But you will NOT get positive derived standings with their enemies.

Derived standings are also capped at the standing that factions have towards each other. For example, Amarr Empire standing towards the Minmatar Republic is -5,00 so once you have -5,00 standing with Amarr Empire you will not get any further negative derived standings towards Amarr for doing Minmatar missions.

Derived standings are also capped at the standing that factions have towards each other. For example, Amarr Empire standing towards the Minmatar Republic is -5.00 so once you have -5.00 standing with Amarr Empire you will not get any further negative derived standings towards Amarr for doing Minmatar missions.

=== Recovering low faction standings ===

Line 172:

CONCORD Assembly, Society of Conscious Thought, and Jove Empire are also factions with no agents but they have positive standings to a few other factions, making it possible to increase standings through derived standings.

CONCORD owns the constellation of Sanctum in the region of Genesis. If you go below -5.00 standing with CONCORD Assembly you will be attacked by CONCORD navy in that area (the same mechanics as the normal Empire navy ships, not instakilling CONCORD police). CONCORD Assembly will lower their standing towards you through derived standings if you gain positive standing with any pirate faction.

CONCORD Assembly will lower their standing towards you through derived standings if you gain positive standing with any pirate faction. Their standings can only be repaired via derived standings from the four main Empire factions.

For example, Amarr Empire standing towards the Minmatar Republic is -5,00 so once you have -5,00 standing with Amarr Empire you will not get any further negative derived standings towards Amarr for doing Minmatar missions.

-CONCORD owns the constellation of Sanctum in the region of Genesis. If you go below -5.00 standing with CONCORD Assembly you will be attacked by CONCORD navy in that area (the same mechanics as the normal Empire navy ships, not instakilling CONCORD police). CONCORD Assembly will lower their standing towards you through derived standings if you gain positive standing with any pirate faction.
