Missions: Difference between revisions

Line 47:

The fact that Eveynel Daerne is located in the Orduin solar system, which is the sovereign territory of the Minmatar Republic, is completely irrelevant. High Minmatar Republic standings will not give you access to missions from Eveynel Daerne. This concept applies as a rule to all agents of a faction who are located in a different faction's sovereign space.

Gaining access to slightly-higher level mission can be eased by training two skills: Diplomacy and Connections (and "Connections" is not to be confused with other social skills, mentioned above, of the names "{Something} Connections"). Diplomacy gives you a standings boost with agents, NPC corporations, and factions that dislike you to begin with, and this boost is 4% per level of the Diplomacy skill. Connections gives you a standings boost with agents, NPC corporations, and factions that like you to begin with, and this boost is 4% per level of the Connections skill. Between Diplomacy and Connections, only one will apply, but it will give a boost significant enough to ease the process of getting access to Level 2 missions.

When you complete a regular mission for an agent, you get increased standings with the agent and the corporation, but not the faction. It is worth noting that if the mission involves destroying ships or structures of a different faction, then your standings with the target faction go down, but your standings with the agent's faction will not change. Those who wish to be able to fly in all High Security space are advised to decline all anti-Empire missions (that is, anti-Amarr, anti-Ammatar, anti-Caldari, anti-Gallente, and anti-Minmatar). Some exceptions or workarounds exist; for example, a Minmatar agent might give you the mission [http://eve-survival.org/wikka.php?wakka=FriendlySpies3ga&show_comments=1#comments Friendly Spies], where if you destroy the mission objective but none of the hostile ships, then you don't lose Gallente Federation standings. These exceptions, however, are few, and in many missions where the target was a structure rather than a ship, a standing loss with the target faction was still observed.
