Let me say that again just in case you thought it was a typo.
For 1 Level 1 Storyline mission completed your Faction standing would go from -5.00 to -4.96
Standings gains aren't calculated linearly like that. I meant to explain this in our conversation and after re-writing the reply for a third time, completely forgot.
Here is the EVElopedia page explaining how standings gains (and penalties) are applied: magical math.
In the case of -5.0 standing, being rewarded an 0.04% gain would result in a new standing of -4.4 (significantly better than -4.96!).
To put it simply, the closer you are to 10.0, the less the gain's impact. The closer to negative 10.0 you are, the greater the gain. So if you have utterly terrible standings, you can take some solace in the fact that each step up from rock bottom will be a big one, relative to those already near the perfect standing, trying to make those last steps.
Some math:
10 - Current Standing x percentage value gain represented as integer = Standings gain. Standings gain + current standing = New standing.
Ergo:
10 - -5.0 = 15 15 x (0.04) = 0.6 0.6 + -5.0 = -4.4
P.S You may want to paraphrase the reply you've quoted, rather than quote it directly, as sharing GM correspondence isn't actually allowed. |

He's referring to the Regal Replacement branch of the Amarr Epic Arc. It's unique in that, unlike the other empire arcs, you can go rogue and work for the Nation (and get rewarded with Nation standings as a result).
We didn't mention that to because a) you don't qualify for it standings-wise and b) you can't get a friend who does and have them share the standings (epic arc faction standing rewards don't split like regular missions do*)
* Yes, sometimes they do in fact split, but this is not intended. |

Pulling the epic arc numbers is fairly easy since they're right where GMs and Developers can see them. Pulling the numbers from generic missions is more difficult. Those values aren't as easily seen or found. I've poked one of our programmers to see what's possible, but can't promise anything.
