As you have initially no standings with an entity you have not interacted with you need to get either corporation or faction standing at or above the required level before you can interact with an agent of that level. Sufficient corporation standing will give you access to all agents of a level within that corporation. Faction standing does the same for all agents of that faction. | As you have initially <em>no</em> standings with an entity you have not interacted with you need to get either corporation or faction standing at or above the required level before you can interact with an agent of that level.

Because of this, there is an advantage to running your missions with agents from the same corporation. Each completed mission will raise your standing with that agent ''and'' the agent's corporation and move you more quickly towards the next level. In addition, because [[loyalty point store]]s are run by corporations, you will be able to buy more items faster if you stick with one corporation. | Because of this, there is an advantage to running your missions with agents from the same corporation.

These missions do not give ISK or loyalty points but they do give standing and count for the Storyline mission tally.
