Note that attaining the required Corporate standing automatically fulfills the lower requirement. The extra requirement exists only to prevent those with high Faction standing from accessing top-level researchers without actually working for that corporation.

To see what faction and corporation standings you need to speak with an R&D agent, ~~select~~ "Show Info" on ~~that~~ agent, go to the "Agent Info" tab, and look at the "Compatibility" section at the bottom. (If there is no "Compatability" section, then you arleady have access to that agent!) It will say something like: "Your effective personal standings must be 3.00 or higher toward this agent's corporation in order to use this agent, as well as an effective personal standing of 5.00 or higher toward this agent, its faction, or its corporation in order to use this agent's services." So, if you had perfect 10.0 standings with the agent's faction and 0.0 standing with his/her corp, you couldn't use that agent. However, if you had 10.0 faction standing and 3.0 corporation standing, ''or'' if you just had 5.0 corp standing, then you could.

To see what faction and corporation standings you need to speak with an R&D agent:

* Open your character sheet

* Click on Standings

* Click on the "Liked By" tab.

* Scroll down to the "Corporations" section

* Right-click the Corporation you wish to work with (if that Corporation isn't listed, then you have not yet spoken with one of their agents)

* Click "Show Info" in the menu

* Click on the "Agents" tab in the new window

* Scroll down to the "R&D" agent list (not all Corporations have R&D agents - if none are listed, you can't use them!)

* In the "Not Available to You" list, right click on a desired agent and select "Show Info" on him or her.

* Look under the "Agent Info" tab, and look at the "Compatibility" section at the bottom. (If there is no "Compatability" section, then you arleady have access to that agent!) It will say something like: "Your effective personal standings must be 3.00 or higher toward this agent's corporation in order to use this agent, as well as an effective personal standing of 5.00 or higher toward this agent, its faction, or its corporation in order to use this agent's services."

~~This~~ means that a certain amount of mission grinding with an R&D agent's corporation is unavoidable, but a high faction standing can reduce the amount of mission running required.

So, if you had perfect 10.0 standings with the agent's faction and 0.0 standing with his/her corp, you couldn't use that agent. However, if you had 10.0 faction standing and 3.0 corporation standing, ''or'' if you just had 5.0 corp standing, then you could.

All of this means that a certain amount of mission grinding with an R&D agent's corporation is unavoidable, but a high faction standing can reduce the amount of mission running required.
