==Gaining and losing standings==

When standings go up or down they do so as a percentage; this is always a percentage decay towards the extreme end of the scale. For example, if someone has 1.0 standing with an NPC corporation and completes a mission that changes standing by +5%, then the current standing is increased by 5% of the difference from +1 to +10; that's a change of +0.45 with an end result of +1.45. However, if someone else with a 4.0 standing completes the same mission under the same circumstances and also gets a 5% increase, then that's 5% of the difference from +4 to +10; that's a change of +0.30 with an end result of +4.30.

If something causes a standings decrease, then it's a percentage decay towards −10. For example, if someone with +1.0 standings suffers a −5% change, then that's 5% of the difference from +1 to −10; that's a change of −0.55 with an end result of +0.45. If someone with +4.0 standings suffers that same −5% change, then it's 5% of the difference from +4 to −10; that's a change of −0.7 with an end result of +3.3.

Corporation and agent standings increase after each completed mission. Faction standings however are gained from certain missions only:

*Doing the epic arcs: Significant standings increase without a derived decrease in opposing factions' standings. This is the only way to gain faction standings without losing standings with other entities.

Corporation and agent standings are lost only when failing a mission. Failing a mission will also incur a hit on your faction standings. You also lose faction standings when you destroy a ship belonging to that faction. This standing loss is based on the value of the destroyed ship and does not hapen on all ships.

Corporation and agent standings are lost only when failing a mission. Failing a mission will also incur a hit on your faction standings. The same loss is applied also when declining more than one mission every four hours. You also lose faction standings when you destroy a ship belonging to that faction. This standing loss is based on the value of the destroyed ship and does not hapen on all ships.

You can see the history of standing gains and losses by right clicking yoru standings with the entity and selecting "Show transactions". This is most easily done in the entity info window/standings or in Character sheet/Interactions/Standings
