Hello im new to the game so please excuse my ignorance
Currently im running misssions for republic secuirty services, which is a minmatar republic corp.
with each mission i run my standing with Ammar drops, i think. I'm confused though, nearly all of the agents that i have seen are in ammar space, im just waiting for the day that concord blows me up after i undock from my agent...
I raise this question because a friend of mine was recently killed by concord b/c of his low standing with ammar, and now he cannot get to the station where he keeps all of his stuff.
i dont want this to happen to me. What can i do to prevent this? should i do mission for ammar also to keep my standings in balance? would that work?
it doesnt make sense to me that, the agents are located in ammar space and doing missions for them drops your ammar standing.
please correct me if im wrong. any advice will be appreciated.
thank you!

Your friend was destroyed by Amarr faction navy, not Concord.
They are tankable but it is not easy.
To be attacked by a faction navy you need to have a standing below -5 with that faction. The standing can be partially mended training the diplomacy skill and if you don't kill ships from that faction a high level of diplomacy will guarantee you safe passage in all the space of that faction. If you kill a lot of ships from a faction your standing will plummet way lower and can deny access to the faction systems.

I'm still confused though.
If most of the agents for republic security services are in Ammar Empire, and republic sec sev is Minmatar republic; then how will i continue running these missions?

well its u who is missioning for a corp which operates in enemy's space. Choose corp which has agents in republic (or how is their gang called) and be happy.
or refuse all missions which involve killing amarr/caldari, that will slow down ur standing fall.
Or the best method - if ure not complete heretic yet, come to us, embrace the light, we can use even the dirty tard like u (canon fodder always welcomed  ). In other words - work for both Minamatar and Amarr factions, keeping them somewhat balanced. Take the best from both worlds *drinks a bottle of genuine gallente made Quaffe*

RSS also has stations in other regions like The Forge and Essence. Incidentally, you can't be dropping in standing with each mission you run since normal missions don't affect faction standing normally. You're probably killing Amarr or Caldari ships. Ammatar likes those guys so your standing drops each time you shoot such a ship. Storylines with RSS cause standing drops (since Ammatar really hates Minmatar faction). But that's something you can control since you don't have to do those storylines (no standing loss if you don't talk to the agent and the mission expires).
Finally, Venkul's advice about training up diplomacy is important. Ammatar is trouble for people increasing standing with Minmatar faction because they have a -6 standing with Minmatar. That's the number that Ammatar standing converges to as you do things that benefit Minmatar faction directly. Since -5 is where shooting starts, you need at least diplomacy 2 to keep your adjusted standing above -6 (it's -4.72 if I calculate correctly). If you're shooting the wrong kind of ship, your standing can get a lot lower.
