So I just went to collect my datacores and one of the agents wouldn't talk to me and said I had to improve my standings. Does anyone know why this has happened? Do I have to grind missions again or can I raise the standings by improving my social skills?
Thanks. |

Did you once have an R&D agent and then cancel the research to move on to better agent? That can cause your standings to drop

Not that I remember. I think I'm just gonna do some courier missions, I only need like 0.01 of a standing so it shouldn't take me long.
Would still like to know why my standing has dropped though, if anyone has any more ideas.

I've just been through this with a petition and everything.
In May 2009, there was a change with R&D agents. Your standings no longer take into consideration your social skills when interacting with R&D agents.
I got caught by this with one of my agents, where the only standings I had to the agent's corp was via the Connections skill. He currently has a large number of datacores, and I'm grinding a bit to get the real standings to interact with him again.

Edited by: Mookie80 on 05/02/2010 02:13:19 Enthral - That sounds weird to me. I currently have R&D agents researching for me. I have Connections 3 which raised my standings within the corp high enough so that I may use that specific agent. I would be curious to know the agent and your standings with that corp, normal and with social skills.
Realtef - Social skills (i.e. connections) can be used to raise your standings with your corps and factions so that you may use R&D agents without having to grind the base standing all the way up there.

Thank you very much for replying.
I have connections 4, is there any other skills which will raise the standing? If not I don't really wanna train connections 5, so it looks like some courier missions for me

A couple of months ago the way social skills work was altered to ONLY affect non-null standings. Most likely, you are accessing the agent based solely on the old rules (corp-standings-wise) and your faction standing, so you need to complete at least ONE mission for his NPC corp to trigger a standings change from null to minimal so that Connections will apply again.

Turns out, AkitaT was right and the GM was incorrect. I still don't have the real standings to access the agent, but I do have enough after correcting for Connections. Prior to this, I had no standings except for Connections, so all I had to do was run one mission and get just a little standings for Connections to kick in.
