I want to switch Gallente Militia in a short time period, in this situation what is your suggestion to repair Gallente standing? Do I need to drop militia first? Thanks for your helping. 
Veli ANDAC,
You're welcome.
Yes, leave the Amarr Militia.
Diplomacy level 5 will help a lot if it doesn't take you too long to train it.
If your Gallente Faction standing of -5.59 is higher than your Minmatar Faction standing, then you'll have to do some regular missions (16 + Storyline) for a level 1 Gallente Agent located where you can travel safely, probably in Amarr, Ammatar or Caldari space. It shouldn't take you too long to raise it above -5.00 standing. After that you can enter Gallente space and work the 'Plan'. If your Minmatar Faction is already above -5.00 standing, then start working the 'Plan' with Minmatar.
Good luck to you and I hope this helps.

Velarra,
I'm a bit confused. Are you asking how to get -10.00 Faction standing with Guristas, Sansha and Blood Raiders?
If so, just continue killing them in regular missions, explorations sites, etc. No need to do anything special. It will happen automatically.
Don't worry about the positive Pirate Corporation standings listed in your character sheet. Those can be helpful later in the future if you decide to work for Pirate Agents.
If you're asking how to repair or gain positive Pirate Faction standings, just work the section listed in the 'Plan' called - Pirate Standings.
Hope this answers your question.

Velarra,
Thanks for clarifying.
As for getting -10.00 negative standings with the Pirate Corporations, failing level 1Pirate missions will accomplish that goal but it'll take quite a bit of time. It doesn't seem to be a constructive use of time to achieve that goal.
I'm not sure if the Pirate Corporate stations have NPC Convoys. If they do, this guide might help since attacking Convoys will incur negative standing hits towards the Corporation controlling the Convoy.
http://www.eve-wiki.net/index.php?title=Attacking_Convoys
Good luck with your goal.

george harries wrote:hi, I have an Amarr alt which (after diplomacy 4) was left with -4.4 Minmatar standing (Gallenet is slightly worse), currently training Diplomacy to 5 btw. Problem is, I flew into Minmatar space and got the "bugger off in a few seconds or you die" message, so moved back to warp back to caldari space - I was targeted and shot at. Soooo from what I read as long as I am below -5 I can do the career agents to help raise standings. Now if my Gallenete is above -5 is that affecting it or do I need to grind some lvl 1's in Amarr space to sort this out ?? Sorry for being thick but I must be missing something as I know the plan works 
george harries,
there is definitely something wrong if you're being attacked by the Minmatar Faction NPC Navy with a standing of -4.40.
Your Gallente Faction standing won't affect travel in Minmatar space. You should be able to enter Minmatar space and work the 'Plan' without being attacked unless you belong to the Amarr or Caldari Militia doing Factional Warfare.
Since you don't belong to the Militia, you might wanna try this. Get a Rookie ship or shuttle and 'test the waters' by entering Minmatar space. As long as the Faction is above -5.00 standing, you should be able to travel safely. If you get attacked and see the message again, file a petition in-game.
I hope this helps

Barrak,
mxzf (Thanks for the help  ) is correct. The info he posted should be listed on the Evelopedia Data Center page.
It doesn't really matter if you go see the agent listed on the 'Cert' after completing the first Data Center 'Cert' mission. The reasons I said to complete all 3 'Cert' missions (1 at each Data Center) before doing that is:
1) The 3 'Cert' missions can be completed rather quickly to gain some quick Faction standing increase before seeing the agent listed on the 'Cert'.
2) The agent listed on the 'Cert' will give a 5 part mission series and while doing that mission series, will meet another Event Agent that gives a 3 part mission series. The 3 part mission series needs to be completed before the 5 part mission series can be completed. These 2 mission series will take some time to complete compared to the other missions.
3) Players might forget about the other 2 Data Center 'Cert' missions after completing missions for the agent listed on the 'Cert'. Also that specific agent is listed on all 3 'Certs' and will only offer the 5 part mission series once.
I created this thread for questions pertaining to the 'Plan' so that everyone can have access to the info. The idea of creating a chat channel for the 'Plan' is good but not really feasible due to the possibility of certain questions being asked multiple times and more than likely the channel itself would probably not be very active for long lengths of time.
Anyway, I hope your questions have been answered and everything clarified. Good luck and much success to you.

Ahhh, I always liked that mission series. Took me a long time to find the key.
For Snatching the Shaman, destroy the Blasted Neon Sign to get Logut's key from a cargo container, then use the acceleration gate. Find Dari Akell and collect her from the wreckage. Use the acceleration gate to warp back, and speak with Logut's Abode to exchange Dari Akell for Logut Akell.
Deliver Logut to Pinala Adala.
Someone had posted a little trick concerning that mission series. http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1263174&page=9#265
Since you've already accepted the mission, I guess the trick won't help.
If Dari Akell isn't in the wreckage or container, might have to file a petition in-game, F12 key (Eve Help), character stuck - mission in progress.
Hope this helps,

That Caldari Cosmos guide works on my internet browser - Firefox.
There's another Cosmos guide I usually check which is http://www.hb3.info/cosmos/ It needs to be translated but it covers most of the agents for all 4 major Factions.

I'm brand new to Eve Online (all standings are currently either neutral or good) and want to keep all four major factions positive... way positive. Planning ahead, I'm thinking of getting all four above 6.0 which is required for level 4 missions. The goal is that no matter where my Eve career takes me in Empire space, I can quickly run a mission or two. Questions are: Is it possible to get all our major standings above 6.0? Assume that I'll never accept a mission against another major faction. If yes, what parts of the plan should I complete to accomplish this goal? Thanks! Edit: Several months ago, DeMichael Crimson posted his standings after many months of work. None are above 6.0 which is a discouraging sign  DeMichael Crimson from June 2011: Empire Faction Standings: Modified (Base) Caldari State +5.50 (+4.37) Minmatar Republic +5.25 (+4.06) Amarr Empire +5.17 (+3.96) Khanid Kingdom +5.17 (+3.96) Gallente Federation +5.14 (+3.92) The Interbus +5.03 (+3.78) Ammatar Mandate +4.82 (+3.52) Concord Assembly +2.56 (+0.70)
Well, I haven't really been working the 'Plan' very much since then, due to waiting for CCP to fix various bugs associated with Cosmos agents. I'm currently working the epic arcs which I hope will unlock the lv 4 cosmos agents.
If you want to get all Empire Factions to have a high positive standing, I would say work all agents listed in the 'Plan'. However, quite a bit of standing can be gained just by completing the Epic Arcs every 3 months. Since you're new, I don't think you have the required skill lv or standing to work the lv 4 epic arcs.
My current stats:
Empire Faction Standings - Modified and (Base):
Amarr Empire +5.56 (+4.45),
Minmatar Republic +5.33 (+4.16),
Gallente Federation +5.28 (+4.11),
Caldari State +5.27 (+4.08),
The Interbus +5.04 (+3.80),
Ammatar Mandate +4.81 (+3.51),
Khanid Kingdom +4.59 (+3.24),
Concord Assembly +2.56 (+0.70),
Social Skills:
Social lv 5
Connections lv 5
Fast Talk lv 5
Diplomacy lv 5
Negotiation lv 5
Data Center Tags Completed:
Minmatar = Angel Crystal and lower - need Gold
Gallente = Serpentis Diamond and lower - need Brass and Gold
Caldari = Guristas Crystal and lower - need Brass
Amarr = Blood Crystal and lower - need Gold
Ammatar = Sansha Crystal and lower
Epic Arcs Completed:
Level 1 Sisters Of Eve = 5x (1x Minmatar, 2x Amarr, 2x Gallente)
Level 4 Amarr = Started (Currently working)
Level 4 Caldari = Started
Level 4 Gallente = Started
Level 4 Minmatar = Started

All Empire Factions
Cosmos Agents Completed:
All Empire Factions = level 3 and lower
Special Agents Completed (Security Status):

Romeo Deluxe, thanks for posting. Yeah, that thread may be old but the info is still good.
Good job at finding an answer to your question, "How does the 'Plan' help raise Ammatar Mandate Faction standing".
First off, training up the Social skills will help a lot. Diplomacy skill to raise current negative Faction standing and Connections skill to raise current positive Faction standings. Also don't forget Social skill and Negotiation skill to help gain max rewards/standings for future interaction with agents.
As was posted in that thread, the Data Center located in the Ferira System has Ammatar Mandate agents that collect Sansha Tags. Those are the only Event Agents that give large Ammatar Mandate Faction standing increase.
The next quickest way to gain Ammatar Mandate Faction standing is from derived standings for completing Amarr and Caldari Event Agent missions.
After that, it's Storyline missions gained from completing 16 regular missions.
Anyway, good luck to you.

Jyla Kenij, thanks for posting and sorry to hear about your little problem.
The group of Circle Agents only give 1 mission for Faction standing increase. If you've never completed those missions before, then a small Faction standing increase should be listed in the character sheet - standings section - 'Liked By' tab - 'show transactions' option by r-clicking on the specific Faction.
Not being granted the Faction standing increase due for mission completion is a problem associated with various Event Agents. It's always a good idea to file a petition in-game if the standing increase isn't automatically added.
As for the Career Agent missions, they can be completed easily even though it may take a bit of time. There's 15 Career Agents per Faction and bypassing them results in missing out on a sizable amount of standing increase.
The fastest way per the 'Plan' for gaining Faction standing increase would be with the Data Center Agents. The 'Cert' missions give a good jump start and the 'Tag' missions give a large standing increase. However, the 'Tag' missions will cost you ISK if you don't already have the required tags.
The 'Plan' itself contains links to all Event Agents that give Faction standing increase. It's not intended to be an actual guide per say, it's just a 'Plan' which can be adapted and changed to suit each individual player's needs and objectives.
Anyway, I hope this answers your questions. Good luck to you.

Stabmeldys, thank you for the complements.
Yeah, running thru all the Career Agent missions is definitely mind numbing. However, they do help a lot at the start to raise negative Faction standings. After completing those, it get's a lot better. Especially when working the Cosmos missions. They have a great storyline with lot's of excellent eye candy.

Chung Ju-yung, that's a very good idea.
Thanks for bringing that up.
I usually checked with corp and player chat channels first, most players will have a few tags laying round in station and they'll more than likely give you a good deal.
When I was actively looking for Tags, I asked a couple players to check various regional markets while traveling. If they happened to find a good deal, I'd have em contract it to me. I also placed a few buy orders whenever needed.

Hannibalx, thanks.
The Pirate Epic Arcs were created so that players could easily repair very bad negative Pirate Faction standings. That's the reason for having 3 different starting agents, 1 Pirate Agent and 2 Empire Agents.
Since you've already accessed 1 of the 3 starting agents for the arc, the rest of the agents in the arc should not check your standings.
I think you have encountered a bug. Best thing for you to do right now is file a petition in-game, character stuck.
Anyway, I hope the 'Plan' helps you. Good luck to you and don't forget to train up the Social skills.

OfBalance, thanks for dropping in and bestowing some kudoz.
One of my early goals after I first started playing was to complete missions for all Event Agents within the game. When I first started that I didn't realize it would turn into a long term project.
Most of the Event Agent missions have a very good story plot with lot's of excellent eye candy. That, along with only being able to complete them once in the life of the character, makes them rather unique as well as fun and exciting when compared to regular missions.
I hope the 'Plan' helps you as much as it's helped me. Good luck and much success.

Mallet Sceptera, it's not a problem. I'm glad to help whenever possible.
The SoE Level 1 Epic Arc doesn't require any scanning or probing what so ever.
Just make sure to have all Empire Faction standings above -5.00 and your security status above -2.00, if not you will be attacked by Navy NPC's while traveling.
Good luck and have fun on the arc.

Kal Torvan wrote:So I had some time to kill waiting for skills to train and figured I'd try to start boosting my faction standings. Problem is first system I went to for the Career Agents (Malukker), both the Industry and the Business agent wouldn't give me a mission. I'm fairly positive I've never been out in that part of space before, so there should be no way that I could have requested the missions before and let them expire. Any other reason those agents would refuse to talk to me while the two Combat and the Exploration agents would?
Hello Kal,
That's a very good question. I've had a few different Event Agents also refuse to offer mission. Depending on how long you've been playing eve, you very well could have completed them back when you first started. More than likely this is probably true.
Now if you're fairly certain about never accessing these agents before, best to file a petition in game. There are 15 different Career Agents per Faction, I'd go check the others first.
Sorry I couldn't provide much info, hope you have good luck working the 'Plan'.

Hello Jalthus James, thanks for posting the complement.
It's always good to hear how the 'Plan' has helped other players.
Now for your question, which Event Agent missions are the easiest to complete with very low skills. All level 1 Event Agent missions should be easy enough to complete with minimal skills trained.
The level 1 Data Center 'Cert' missions (3 per faction) are simple courier missions which are very easy to complete. The missions offered by the Event Agent listed on the 'Cert' is different from the Data Center 'Cert' agents and will require some combat skills trained. After the 3 Data Center 'Cert' missions, the next easiest ones to complete would be the 'Circle Agents' and their courier missions. Next is the Data Center 'Tag' missions which are basically trade missions, however those will cost some ISK.
Hope this answers your question. Good luck to you.

r0selan, thanks for sharing that info.
The 'Plan' does state that after training Diplomacy level 5 and if still below -5.00 Faction standing, completing regular level 1 missions to gain storyline mission offers is required. It also mentions that completing courier missions for Distribution Agents is the quickest way to achieve that goal.
As for spamming the 'Decline' option more than once every 4 hours, I didn't mention anything about that because I believe it's not a good idea. Granted the amount of negative standing hit may be small but it's still a negative hit. The idea is to minimize the amount of negative standing hits while repairing and boosting Faction standings.
However, the 'Faction Standing Repair Plan' is exactly what the name implies, a 'Plan' which can be adapted and changed to benefit each players specific needs and goals. Obviously this is what you did and congratulations to you for a job well done.
I hope you have continued good luck and much success.

Bob Jan, thanks for posting and sorry to hear about your disappointment.
Yeah, unfortunately most of the Event Agents listed in the 'Plan' give derived standings, both positive and negative, towards all Factions. That is the reason for keeping watch on the standings and then alternate or 'bounce' to another Faction's Event Agents when needed.
Since you've already trained Social and Diplomacy skills to level 5, train Connections skill to level 5. That will help increase your current positive Faction standings.
Other than training up the various Social skills, completing the Epic Arcs will give a large Faction standing gain with little to no derived standings towards the other Factions. The only problem is that they can only be completed every 3 months.
Right now you could run the level 1 SoE Epic Arc and complete it for Amarr, then run the level 4 Amarr and Caldari Epic Arcs. That should make you positive with those Empire Factions without incurring any negative Faction standing hits towards Minmatar and Gallente.
I hope this info helps and good luck to you.

Oh, good catch. Somehow I forgot to include the info about needing above -2.00 Faction standing to run the level 4 Epic Arcs. Must have been a bit more tired than I thought.
Anyway, yeah, the easiest way to access the level 4 epic arc starting agents is to get Faction above -2.00 standing and Corp above +5.00 standing.
Looks like you'll have to complete just a few more Amarr Event Agent missions to get Amarr and Caldari above -2.00 Faction standing.. Of course that means you'll also get a few more negative hits to Gallente and Minmatar.
Then run the epic arcs. Completing the level 4 Minmatar arc incurs a couple of negative standing hits towards Amarr and Ammatar.
Hope you have much success and thanks for pointing out the missing info.

NotSureIfArab OrJustLatino, that's a very good question.
I can't give you an exact standing number or the amount of time required to accomplish it. Right now my average Empire Faction standings are in the high +5.00 standing. I am currently working the level 4 Epic Arcs and I still have the level 4 Cosmos Agents left to complete.
Since the Epic Arcs can be completed every 3 months for a large Faction standing increase with little to no derived standings towards the other Factions, I see no problem in gaining very high Empire Faction standings. Of course it'll take time to accomplish that.
Sorry I couldn't give you a more precise answer.

Not a problem.
I doubt anyone can give a definite answer to that question. The Epic Arcs have pretty much deleted the standing limits that were previously in the game.
Just in case you were wondering, the level 1 Event Agent missions can be easily completed with minimum skill levels. Keep in mind that completing those will incur both positive and negative derived standings towards all the Factions.

For the level 1 SoE Epic Arc, the first couple of times I completed it was in a Tech 1 Frigate (Rifter) and then later in a Tech 2 Force Recon Cruiser (Rapier). Both are T2 rigged and fitted.
For the level 4 Epic Arcs I mostly use a Tech 2 Command Ship (Sleipnir) and switch to a Tech 3 Strategic Cruiser (Loki) when needed on missions that have high amount of incoming DPS. Of course they're both T2 rigged and Faction / Deadspace fitted.
The T3 Cruiser actually has more defense, faster speed, quicker alignment with a much smaller signature radius when compared to the T2 Command Ship. Unfortunately it also puts out less DPS so it takes a bit longer to kill the NPC's.
I also followed the Eve Survival Mission Reports to track the triggers while doing the level 4 Epic Arcs.

Gaitrie, you're welcome and thanks for posting.
Yes, keeping track of agents already completed is a very good idea, especially when working the Cosmos Agents. The in-game notepad is indeed very handy for that.
Probably a good idea to keep an out of game back-up copy of the notepad as well, just in case.
Thanks again, good luck and much success to you.

Ahhh, it's good to hear that.
If you have over -5.00 Faction standing with all Empire Factions, might think about completing the level 1 SoE arc for Amarr or Caldari, whichever one is lowest. Can easily complete that within a few days for a sizable Faction standing increase.
That way you won't have to grind endless amounts of regular missions for storyline offers if all you're trying to do is get the Faction standings more balanced.
Anyway, thanks for the friendly bump and good luck to you.

Ahhh, thanks for clarifying.
Can't really place a definite number due to various factors involved.
The amount of standing gained is varied due to different storyline missions being offered. Along with that, the level of Social skills trained, Agent location (system security level) and the Agent Effective Quality will also modify the amount gained.
Sorry I couldn't give you a more specific answer.

EDIT:
To get max standing increase, make sure to have the Social skills trained up. |

Thanks.
Yeah, I actually started working and formatting the 'Plan' back in late 2009, then revised and refined it during the first half of 2010. I basically split my time between working the 'Plan' and doing exploration. The 'Plan' could have been worked much faster but I really enjoy doing exploration.
The 3 month time limit on the Epic Arcs isn't too bad. I had started the level 4 Epic Arcs right after the last time I completed the level 1 Epic Arc. In the middle of Feb, I'll be able to start it again. So basically if I was to spend a week or so between each Epic Arc doing something else such as in my case, do exploration, I'll be able to just keep doing the Epic Arcs without having long periods of waiting time.
My goal, besides achieving very high Faction standings with all Empire Factions, is to complete all Event Agents currently active in the game. That includes the Pirate Event Agents as well. Those will be worked last of course. It'll be quite a while before I can access the Faction ship BPC Agents, especially if I work the Pirate Cosmos Agents.
As for Empire Event Agents, I have the level 4 Cosmos Agents and a few Data Center Agents left to complete. I made a statement back when I first started working the 'Plan' that achieving over +7.00 standing with the 4 major Empire Factions could easily be done quickly by working this 'Plan'. It'll be interesting to see just how high my Empire standings are after completing the last of the Empire Event Agents..

http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Faction_Standing_Repair_Plan#Pirate_Standings
Well, basically I'll do it like how it's listed in the 'Plan'. After completing both Pirate Epic Arcs with the Social skills maxed, my standing with Angels and Guristas should be close to neutral which will allow me to start working their level 1 Cosmos Agents. I may have to wait until I complete the Pirate Epic Arcs a 2nd time to complete the higher level Pirate Cosmos Agents.
I'm not looking to make all Pirate Factions positive since my goal is to just complete all Event Agents in the game. I figure with high Empire Faction standings, I can afford the standing hits to complete the Pirate Cosmos Agents since there's only 7 agents for each of those 2 Pirate Factions. After that, I'll add the Pirate Epic Arcs into rotation with the other Epic Arcs to continue raising Angel and Guristas Faction standings along with the Empire Factions.

Well, I've never done the Pirate Epic Arcs but they're probably set up like the level 4 Epic Arcs, large Faction standing increase with little to no negative standing hits.
For more info about the Pirate Epic Arcs, best to get in touch with a player who has done the Pirate Epic Arcs quite a few times and also sells support packages (guide with bookmarks) for those arcs - Substantia Nigra - she posted a reply in this thread - page 1 post 7 - her signature has a link to info about the Pirate Support Packages.
Anyway, like I said, my goal is to complete all Event Agents in this game. I won't work the Pirate Event Agents untill after I've completed all the Empire Event Agents, by then my standings should be really high.
If the Pirate Epic Arcs have a lot of Faction standing hits, I'll only complete them once or twice, just enough to work the Pirate Cosmos Agents. That way I can complete my goal.

OfBalance,
Thanks, wait til I complete the level 4 Cosmos Agents and do another round or two of Epic Arcs.
Yes, you only need to have +5.00 or higher corporation standing and above -2.00 Faction standing with the level 4 epic arc starting agent. After that, the rest of the agents in the Arcs don't check your standings. The level 4 arcs are mainly high sec locations with a few missions in low sec but those are usually small courier missions.
The level 1 SoE epic arc doesn't require any standing to start, but it does require you to travel in all Empire Factions space. So you'll want to have all Empire Factions above -5.00 standing and your personal security status above -2.00 standing. If not, then Faction Navy NPC's will attack. All missions are high sec locations.
The level 3 Pirate epic arcs require +3.00 or higher corporation standing and above -2.00 Faction standing with the starting agent. There's 3 different starting agents for these arcs. 1 Pirate agent and 2 Empire agents. The Pirate arcs are set up for small ships, such as Interceptors and the missions are located in 0.0 space.
I hope this answers your question. Good luck to you and much success.

Just wanted to update everyone on my progress so far.
My last update had Caldari well above +6.00 and Gallente below +6.00. I need to work both Gallente and Caldari level 4 cosmos agents at the same time due to the huge amount of standing, both negative and positive, that will be incurred. Doing so will basically continue raising all the Factions and insure that I won't be locked out.
My previous statistics:
Empire Faction Standings - Modified (Base):
Caldari State +6.81 (+6.01),
Amarr Empire +6.10 (+5.12),
Minmatar Republic +5.93 (+4.91),
Gallente Federation +5.84 (+4.80),
The Interbus +5.04 (+3.80),
Khanid Kingdom +4.59 (+3.23),
Ammatar Mandate +4.46 (+3.07),
Concord Assembly +2.56 (+0.70),
I had to do some creative missioning to balance my standings out a bit more and raise Gallente standing for access to their level 4 Cosmos agents without locking out the Caldari level 4 Cosmos agents. I did some regular mission grinding for storyline offers from Gallente and SoE. I completed a storyline mission for level 1, 2 and 3 Gallente agents and one storyline for SoE level 1 agent. Hopefully I can now start working the level 4 Gallente and Caldari Cosmos agents at the same time. When I say at the same time, that means having a mission from each Faction active in the journal.
My current statistics:
Empire Standings - Modified (Base):
Caldari State +6.58 (+5.73),
Minmatar Republic +6.04 (+5.05),
Amarr Empire +6.01 (+5.01),
Gallente Federation +6.00 (+5.00),
The Interbus +5.05 (+3.82),
Khanid Kingdom +4.49 (+3.11),
Ammatar Mandate +4.32 (+2.90),
Concord Assembly +2.56 (+0.70),
Social Skills:
Social lv 5

Romeo Deluxe, thanks for posting that.
Yes, only 1 agent in the group will give a Faction standing increase only once in the life of the character. The standing increase is small and might not show just from looking at your standings. In the character sheet - standings section - right click the Faction and select 'show transactions'. The name of one of the missions those agents offer should be listed.
If you've never completed those agents before and you haven't received a Faction standing increase from one of the agents in the group, politely request that the petition be escalated to a Senior GM / Dev.
As for those missions always being repeatable, they used to be like that quite a while ago. Now I'm not so sure about them due to CCP doing a lot of changes to various agents over the past years. I had contacted CCP about the Circle Agents a couple of years ago when I was creating a page for them in the Evelopedia.
http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Circle_Agents
After quite a few messages back and forth regarding the Circle Agents, I was informed that the amount of the player's personal security status will affect the agents offering more missions. Supposedly if your security status is between -1.00 and +1.00 those agents will continue offering their missions. I don't know if the GM / Dev misunderstood my question or what.
Anyway that explanation still doesn't sound very plausible to me but since CCP is known for having agents act strangely, I wouldn't doubt it. The whole situation was turning into a major time sink for me when all I wanted to do was create an Evelopedia page about them.
That's the reason I included this statement in the opening description about the 'Circle Agents' : Quote:There have been reports that some of these Agents are overworked and will no longer offer repeatable missions. However, that information has yet to be verified.
Well, I hope I was able to shed some light on your situation and like I already stated - If you've never completed those agents before and you didn't received a Faction standing increase from one of the agents in the group, politely request that the petition be escalated to a Senior GM / Dev.
Good luck to you,
DMC
EDIT:
Ahhh, I see you got your Faction standing mission offer from them. I guess CCP added that other mission to that agent since it wasn't there before back when I completed those agents. I guess it's intended to be like the other Circle Agent groups where only 1 agent in the group offers 2 missions back to back, with the 2nd mission being the Faction standing increase. If the agent didn't offer those 2 missions automatically, probably be a good idea to file a bug report about it. The Evelopedia page should be updated as well. |

Thanks for the update.
The mission - 'Robotics for Sarum Family' - was offered to you first before the Faction standing mission - 'The Carthum Executive'.
That makes it follow the same pattern as the other Factions Circle Agent groups. I added the mission name info to the Evelopedia page. I just wanted to make sure everyone has complete up to date information pertaining to the Event Agents..
Thanks again for posting that info. If you happen to find any other inconsistency, please post it here.

That's a good question.
All the guides and info I've seen about the low sec paths for the level 4 arcs are mainly courier type missions. There are a few encounter missions in low sec but those are not as tough as the high sec encounter missions.
I referenced both the Evelopedia and Eve-Survival for info about the missions before I made a choice of which path to follow.
http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Right_to_Rule (Amarr)
http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Penumbra (Caldari)
http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Syndication (Gallente)
http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Wildfire (Minmatar)
http://eve-survival.org/wikka.php?wakka=MissionReportsEpicArc
For the Epic Arcs, I started with a T2 rigged Faction / Deadspace fitted T2 Command Ship (Sleipnir) then switched to a T2 rigged Faction / Deadspace fitted T3 Strategic Cruiser (Loki). The extra cost of the Faction / Deadspace modules is well worth it, allowing the missions to be completed much easier and faster. The T3 Cruiser has higher defense, smaller signature radius, faster speed and quicker align time. Of course it also has less DPS output but it can still kill the NPC's.
The only mission I had trouble with was the very last mission of the Caldari level 4 epic arc due to NPC EWAR perma jamming. Using FoF missiles will take a long time to complete it solo. To quickly complete that mission, just have a fleet member or two take out the EWAR NPC's.
Hope this info helps, good luck to you.

Kallie Rae, I can't really say due to various factors involved and lack of information pertaining to your standings and skills.
First and foremost, do not accept anti-Empire missions and train up the Diplomacy skill to raise your current negative standings. Training the Social skill will increase the amount of standing gained for completing missions. If you're involved with Factional Warfare, best to leave that.
Anyway, using the premise that Amarr is your lowest Empire Faction standing:
After training Diplomacy level 5 and Amarr Faction is still -5.00 or lower standing, hopefully Caldari standing is higher. If Caldari Faction is above -5.00 standing, work the Caldari Event Agents listed in the 'Plan' to gain derived standing increase towards Amarr and when Amarr get's above -5.00 standing, work the Amarr Event Agents.
After training Diplomacy level 5 and Caldari Faction is still -5.00 or lower standing, complete level 1 missions and storylines for Caldari agent located in your friendly space where you can safely travel. After getting Caldari above -5.00 standing, start working the Caldari Event Agents listed in the 'Plan' and when Amarr gets above -5.00 standing, work the Amarr Event Agents.
Hope this is helpful.

Yeah,
I suggest first working the Caldari level 1 Data Centers 'Graduation Certificate' agents. There's three different 'Cert' agents available along with another agent listed on the signed 'Cert' who introduces you to yet another agent for a total of 5 different level 1 agents that can be completed very quickly.
Hopefully those 5 agents will boost the Amarr Faction up above -5.00 standing allowing you to access the Amarr agents listed in the 'Plan'. If not, continue working the Caldari Event Agents till the Amarr Faction is above -5.00 standing, then switch to the Amarr Event Agents.
Don't forget the various social skills listed in the 'Plan'. They help a lot.
Good Luck and much success to you.

Kallie Rae,
Yes, the 3 'Certs' all have the same agent name listed on them but all 3 of those Data Center 'Cert' missions give Faction standing increase. The agent listed on the 'Cert' can only be accessed once and only requires 1 of those 3 'Certs' for access.
Basically you'll end up with extra signed 'Certs'. If you complete all 3 'Cert' missions and then take 1 of the 3 'Certs' to the agent listed on the 'Cert' and complete missions for that agent, you'll also meet another agent to complete. That makes a total of 5 different agents that pertain to the 'Cert' missions.
Hope that explains it, if you have any other questions please feel free to ask.

Chaotic Cannon,
To build up positive standing with both Empire and Pirate Factions at the same time will take longer and requires a bit more selective mission work. The easiest way is by completing all of the Epic Arcs every 3 months.
First, finish training up the various social skills, at least to level 4. For max results, train them all to level 5.
Social
Diplomacy
Connections
Criminal Connections
Negotiation
While training up those skills, you could start building up standings with the various NPC Corporations of the Epic Arc starting Agents. Completing regular missions for Distribution (Courier) or Mining divisions is a good way to build up Corporation standing to help minimize negative standing hits towards the other Factions.
After building up standings for access to all Epic Arcs, you can start running them one right after the other.
I hope this answers your question.

Octarius Eskravu, thanks for posting that question.
A special thank you to Tau Cabalander for answering that question and for contributing more information to this thread.
Nerror theTerror, welcome back.
Thanks, I figured adding 'The Plan' to the Evelopedia would make it easily accessible to more people.
As for changes, you're probably already familiar with changes that has happened to Event Agents over this past year or so.
The old original Tutorial Agents who offered 'The Endless Battle' missions were forced into early retirement. The initial post of this thread contains a link for a proposal to re-activate those agents. All agents except for Cosmos Agents (Cosmos still use old original quality level for access) were changed with the 'Agents Made Easy' expansion. Various different Event Agents are basically bugged / broken and or indisposed at this time requiring a petition to be filed either for access or to receive the appropriate Faction standing increase..
Other than that, gaining Corporation standing to access Epic Arcs and Data Center Agents is a lot easier.

Katja Faith,
There are 15 Career Agents for each of the 4 main Empire Factions. Each of those 4 main Empire Factions has 3 different starter schools with 5 Career Agents located in each station. You can complete each Career Agent only once in the life of your character.
So basically the answer is yes - you can do all three schools for Faction standing boost. You can also work the allied Factions agents as well.
The total amount of Career Agents available in this game is 60.

Ahhh, congrats for the standing increase. Always good to hear 'The Plan' is helping players.
Anyway, the Career, Circle and Data Center 'Cert' agents are all level 1 and always available. If you've already completed those for a specific Faction and still haven't reached the desired amount of Faction standing, you can gain derived standing increase by completing the same agents for that Factions ally.
Good luck to you.

Tekali,
That's a very good question and thanks for the complement.
Basically 'The Plan' is exactly that, a plan that can be modified to fit each players specific needs. The initial starting steps are basically the same for everyone and then changes depending on each players particular situation.
Based on standings, some players can work a couple levels of unfriendly Factions Event Agents before needing to 'bounce' over to the friendly Factions Event Agents.
Since you're Gallente, usually the Caldari Faction would be the lowest unfriendly Faction with Amarr being the highest unfriendly Faction. Going with that presumption, then Amarr Faction would be quicker to access due to having a higher standing than Caldari. That's why 'The Plan' states : "start with the Empire Faction that has the highest negative Faction standing above -5.00"
That basically allows you to quickly start working 'The Plan' instead of spending a lot of time grinding regular level 1 missions to gain storyline for the lowest unfriendly Faction. Now if both unfriendly Factions are above -5.00 standing, then it doesn't matter which one you start with. After working all the level 1 Event Agents for both unfriendly Factions, you can then start working the level 2 Event Agents for those Factions.
In most cases, after completing the unfriendly level 2 Event Agents is when you'll have to 'bounce' over to the friendly Factions. Of course this all depends on how much of a difference there is between the unfriendly and friendly Faction standings. When you do 'bounce' over to the friendly Factions, just follow the same steps as before when working the unfriendly Factions, meaning start with the level 1 Event Agents.
As for your questions :
Quote:once completing agents for my lowest faction to proceed to do the same for its ally correct? (amarr first then caldari) Yes, that is correct.
Quote:once i have done the lvl 1 agents for these 2 factions do i then do all lvl 1 agents for gallente and minmatar and see saw myself up to lvl 4 agents? Normally you can work the level 1 and level 2 agents associated with the unfriendly Factions before needing to 'bounce' over to your friendly Factions.
Main thing to remember is keep watch on your Faction standings and 'bounce' over to the opposite Faction whenever needed. When you start doing that, that's when you'll be riding the 'See-Saw' on up to the level 4 Agents.
I hope this answered your question.

I had bounced back and forth on the level 4 agents and got my standings up above +6.00 for the top 4 Empire Factions, unfortunately there were still some Amarr and Caldari agents left. I could have stopped there but my goal is to complete all Event Agents available in this game and decided to do them as well.
Needless to say Minmatar and Gallente are getting hit but thanks to the Epic Arcs, they can be brought back up later. I have about 8 or 9 agents left to complete and then I'll have all Empire Event Agents completed. Next up will be the Pirate Event Agents, of course that will be done after a rather large buffer is created by running the level 4 Epic Arcs.

-10 with Gallente?
Ouch, hopefully Minmatar Faction standing is higher. If so, start with Minmatar since that would help decrease the amount of time spent grinding missions with a level 1 agent to get above -5.00 standing. Then you can work 'The Plan'.
Anyway, you got a lot of work ahead of you and yes, most definitely 'Good Luck' to you.

Great, with -3.15 Minmatar Faction standing, you can work the Minmatar Event Agents which will help raise Gallente standing quite a bit and when Gallente get's above -5.00 Faction standing, you can then work the Gallente Event Agents.
Of course you'll also receive negative derived standing hits towards the other Factions which is why it's important to keep watch on the standings as they change and 'bounce' to the opposite Faction when needed.
To minimize constantly getting derived standings, when you have all major Factions above -5.00 standing, you can then mainly concentrate on working the Epic Arcs since they give little to no derived standings.
Anyway, glad to help and hope you have much success working 'The Plan'.

Versuvius Marii,
Congratulations and thank you for the compliment, it's always good to know 'The Plan' is helping other players.
Yeah, shouldn't take long to run the Circle Agents if needed. Only have to complete the circle once.
Unfortunately Amarr and Caldari standings will drop, which is the reason for the 'bounce' action. However, to bypass doing the 'bounce', the Epic Arcs can bring those standings back up without really affecting the other Factions. In fact, after getting all main Factions above -2.00 standing, you could just run the Epic Arcs every 3 months and continue raising the main Factions without incurring a lot of derived standings.
Anyway, thanks for posting and I hope you have continued good luck.

Just putting this up for now, I've almost completed all Empire Event Agents. I have 4 more agents to complete. Seems Amarr and Caldari have a lot more level 4 Cosmos Agents which has caused my standings to get lop sided. That means I'll have to run the Epic arcs before doing these last agents.
Will update this thread when I have completed that.

Anyways, I have a question about the Epic Arcs. I have heard that the arcs are alot harder than regular missions and was wondering if I might not yet be "up to code" for doing them. I normally run lvl4 security-missions for Fed Navy with relative ease in a mostly T2 fitted Myrmidon, but noticed that the ones posting about their Epic Arcs generally have Commandships or the like. Should I wait doing the Epic Arcs until I can run them in a T2 ship?
Again, DMC, thanks for your continued support and amazing work!
Thanks for the complements. I guess if you're already easily doing level 4 missions, running the epic arcs shouldn't be too much of a problem.
I think it's a good idea to already have and be trained to pilot T2 and T3 ships if you're going to do Cosmos / Epic Arc missions. Also the Evelopedia, Lorebook and Eve-Survival Mission Reports (Links are in the 'Plan') have tips, notes and comments for easy completion of each mission.
Thanks for posting and again, sorry for the late reply.

Versuvius Marii,
Thank you for the friendly bump and gratz on gaining positive standings with the main four Empire Factions. I hope you have continued success.

WB!
Lysa Riay, thank you for posting the compliment about 'The Plan' and for welcoming me back. It's good to be back here again, both in-forums and in-game.
I only have a few more Empire Cosmos Agents left to complete. However, due to Amarr and Caldari having a lot more Cosmos Agents available (Amarr has the most agents), my Faction standings have become badly lop-sided again. As such, I need to first complete the level 4 Gallente and Minmatar Epic Arcs along with the Level 1 SoE Epic Arc (complete it for Minmatar). After that my Faction standings should be back close to being equal / balanced again. Then I'll complete the last few Empire Cosmos Agents.
After completing the last few remaining Empire Event Agents available in New Eden, I'll probably run the Empire Epic Arcs a couple more times to build up a large 'Buffer Zone' before concentrating on completing the Pirate Event Agents (planed for 2013).
As usual, I'll be sure to keep you all updated on my stats as I complete various steps in my 'Plan' to complete all Event Agents available in this game.

Good question.
Well, positive Jove standings will accumulate automatically through derived standings by completing Event Agent missions for most of the major Empire factions. The same principle also applies for gaining negative derived standings.
http://www.eve-wiki.net/index.php?title=Standings#Standing_Relationships
The 'In-Game Inter-Faction Relationships' graph is read from the top down. The 'Derived Inter-Faction Standing Modifier' graph is read from left to right.
Hope this info helps.

Well, I decided to find out the total amount of COSMOS agents currently available including the Faction ship offer agents.
I left out the 2 CONCORD Agents that give the 'special' 1 time mission offer for security status increase and the Epic Arc Agents.
Here are the stats I found:
Total amount of COSMOS Agents = 160
Faction Totals
Amarr = 32 agents
Ammatar = 2 agents
Caldari = 49 agents (7 no Faction Standing increase)
Khanid = 1 agent
Total = 84 (7 no Faction Standing increase)
Gallente = 18 agents
Minmatar = 35 agents (1 no mission offer, 6 no Faction Standing increase)
ORE = 2 agents
Sisters of Eve = 4 agents
Thukker = 7 agents
Total = 66 (7 no Faction Standing increase)
Guristas = 5 agents
Angel = 5 agents
Total = 10 agents
Total amount per Cosmos Constellation
Amarr Cosmos = 28 agents
High Security - Araz constellation = 21 agents
21 Amarr
Low Security - Kador constellation = 7 agents
3 Amarr
2 Ammatar
1 Khanid
1 Caldari
Caldari Cosmos = 52 agents
High Security - Okkelen constellation = 52 agents
42 Caldari (6 no Faction Standing increase)
5 Guristas
3 Angel
1 Minmatar
1 Amarr
(Amarr Agent located in Prison Stage of Guristas Plex in Otomainen System)
Gallente Cosmos = 26 agents
High Security - Algintal constellation = 26 agents
16 Gallente
5 Thukker
3 Caldari
1 Angel
1 Ore
Minmatar Cosmos = 55 agents
High Security - Ani constellation = 49 agents
30 Minmatar (1 no missions, 6 no Faction Standing increase)
7 Amarr
4 Caldari (1 no Faction Standing increase)
4 SoE
1 Gallente
2 Thukker
1 Angel
Low Security - Audesder System = 6 agents
4 Minmatar
1 Gallente
1 ORE
As you can see the amount of agents for each Empire Faction definitely needs to be balanced. |

Just wanted to post an update of my stats.
Empire Standings - Modified (Base):
Amarr Empire +8.02 (+7.52),
Caldari State +7.50 (+6.87),
Ammatar Mandate +7.26 (+6.57),
Khanid Kingdom +6.75 (+5.94),
The Interbus +5.13 (+3.92),
Gallente Federation +4.48 (+3.10),
Minmatar Republic +4.24 (+2.80),
Concord Assembly +2.56 (+0.70),
Social Skills:
Social lv 5
Connections lv 5
Fast Talk lv 5
Diplomacy lv 5
Negotiation lv 5
Tutorial, Career, Circle Agents Completed:
All Empire Factions
Data Center Tags completed:
Minmatar = All Angel Tags
Gallente = All Serpentis Tags
Caldari = All Guristas Tags
Amarr = All Blood Tags
Ammatar = All Sansha Tags
Epic Arcs Completed:
Level 1 Sisters Of Eve = 7x (3x Minmatar, 2x Amarr, 2x Gallente)
Level 4 Amarr = 3x
Level 4 Caldari = 1x
Level 4 Gallente = 2x (active)
Level 4 Minmatar = 3x
Cosmos Agents Completed:
All Empire Factions = level 4 and lower (4 agents left)
Special Agents Completed (Security Status):
Christer Fuglesang = Concord
Jeremy Tacs = Concord
Security Status:
+5.85
All the main Faction standings were actually well above +6.00 after I had completed an equal amount of level 4 agents per Faction. As you can see, Minmatar and Gallente took a large hit due to Amarr and Caldari having more level 4 Cosmos Agents.
Anyway, I'm working the Epic Arcs right now to re-balance my standings. I still have 4 more Empire level 4 Cosmos Agents left to complete. After I complete those, I'll then run the Epic Arcs a few more times to build up a buffer zone before I start working the Pirate Event Agents.
As always, I'll keep you all updated on my stats and various steps in 'The Plan' to complete all Event Agents available in this game.

So, I'm curious how could I accept a level 2 COSMOS agent mission if my standings were nowhere near the supposedly required 2.00
Has this been changed recently maybe? Has anyone else experienced something similar?
Larenon en Marland, that's interesting to say the least. I'm not sure what the situation is pertaining to that. Maybe it was due to a bug or quite possibly you just miss-read your Faction standing when you accessed that agent. Anyway, it's an error that's definitely in your favor. Sorry I can't give you a better answer.
I'd like to point out that having Faction standing (modified) above -2.00 allows access to agents above level 1. You can freely travel through Empire space as long as you maintain Faction above -5.00 standing. If not, NPC Navy will attack.
Well, it looks like 'The Plan' is definitely helping your Faction standings. To get the best standing gain possible for completing the Event Agent missions, train up Social skill to level 5 asap. Connections skill trained up will make it easier to access higher level agents.
Thank you very much for posting and I hope you have continued good luck working 'The Plan'.

J'Ribs,
Thanks for the bump. Always good to see that.
As for mentioning Factional Warfare, yes the standing gain is excellent but it also kills the opposing Faction Standings at the same time. The main purpose of 'The Plan' is to gain and maintain positive standing with all Empire Factions which is why I don't mention FW.
'The Plan' is more of a guide which can be customized to fit each players specific situation. Some players just need to maintain standings above -5.00 to freely travel throughout high security systems while other players may want to get a specific Faction above -2.00 standing for access to higher level agents. Still other players may use 'The Plan' to gain high Faction standings in order to anchor a POS in high security. Then there's players like me who just want to complete all Event Agents available in this game.
Anyway, thanks again for posting.

He went from -2.45 to + 0.14 in just a weekend. You've helped me in the past with other forum "issues" I had in my younger days which I really appreciated. Now to my dilemma. My standings for this pilot(which does missions and exploring)are as follows: Gallante: 7.30 6.78 Minmater: 6.71 6.08 Amarr: -4.95 -6.99 Caldari: -3.21 -5.01 Sec Status: 5.0023 What part of the plan could I benefit to raise my Amarr and Caldari standings without losing standing with the other two? The reason for this is I want to use this pilot to put up a POS in High Sec for my Indy pilot to run. At the moment by raising my Gallante standings a bit more I could pick from .5,.6, or .7 systems. And I don't want to jepordize that working on Amarr and Caldari standings. Thx in advance for any advise you could give.
Zornia Estemaire,
Thanks for the compliment and positive review. It's always good to see that. Yeah, I remember those 'Issues' very well. It's definitely much better now due to CCP, ISD and CCL. I believe that problem will never again be an issue like it was before.
And if it does happen again, definitely know how to deal with it, right?
Now on to more pressing matters.
As for the dilemma of raising your negative standings without affecting your positive standings, start training Diplomacy to level 5 asap. While that's training, complete the Sisters Of Eve level 1 Epic Arc for Amarr. Hopefully your Social skill is already trained up which increases the standing gain for mission completion. That should give you a bit of breathing room, at least for a little while.
The next step is a big one, basically it's complete the level 4 Amarr and Caldari Epic Arcs. Unfortunately right now you don't have the required standings for access. The easiest way to access the starting agents is get their Corporation standing above +5.00 along with Faction above -2.00 standing.
However, to get that standing you're gonna have to work 'The Plan'.....
Anyway, that's about it. Once you have gained the Corporation standing to access the lv 4 Epic Arcs, all you have to do is maintain the Faction above -2.00 standing. Then whenever needed, just run the appropriate Epic Arc. The only other fast option available is to work the Data Center Agents for both Amarr and Gallente, more or less at the same time.
Hope this info helps and thanks for posting.

Pisov viet,
That's a good question.
The Faction standing gain for completing the level 3 Pirate Epic Arc's is the same no matter which starting agent is used. Those Empire Agents are basically 'Double Agents', working for both Empire and Pirate Factions. With no Social skill trained, the base amount of Faction Standing gained for completing the level 3 Pirate Epic Arc's is +30.00% increase.
The 3 starting agents for each Pirate Epic Arc are set up to enable the player easy access, nothing more. +3.00 standing is required for access. If using Corporation standing for access, the Faction must be above -2.00 standing.

Larenon en Marland, that's a very impressive reply you posted. I'm glad 'The Plan' is working for you. As I've said before, it can be customized and worked to fit each players specific situation.
That being said, I'm going to address this part of it.
Larenon en Marland wrote:And the adventure continues! :-) Skills: Connections, Diplomacy, Negotiations, Social Gû¦ all are at Level 3 Faction standings after all of the above (base standing followed by modified standing, amount of change since last update in parentheses) Amarr Empire 0.43 (Gû¦ 0.59) 1.5784 (Gû¦ 0.5192) Caldari State 3.68 (Gû¦ 1.42) 4.4384 (Gû¦ 1.2496) Gallente Federation -0.82 (Gû+ -0.48) 0.4784 (Gû+ -0.4224) Minmatar Republic 0.49 (Gû+ -0.21) 1.6312 (Gû+ -0.1848) Ammatar Mandate 2.07 (Gû¦ 0.74) 3.0216 (Gû¦ 0.6512) Khanid Kingdom 2.31 (Gû¦ 0.72) 3.2328 (Gû¦ 0.6336) The Interbus 1.55 (Gû¦ 0.13) 2.564 (Gû¦ 0.1144) Observations: Circle Agents: more than one Circle Agent gave Caldari Faction Standing, not just one. The missions that gave faction standing increase were: Tobacco Run, From Development To Publishing, To Create Silicate Glass You Need..., For The Army as evidenced by this screenshot. Next up: the Amarr Career Agents and beyond. Until my next update of my adventures with the Plan: Fly safe! :-) The Social skill should definitely be trained up, especially since it increases the amount of standing gained for completing missions. Next would be the Connections skill which raises your current positive standing enabling easier access to higher level agents. After that I'd probably raise Negotiation to increase the ISK reward and then Diplomacy to raise the negative standings.
Since I don't know what your actual plan entails or what your goal is, I will go with the premise that you want to be positive with all Empire Factions. After looking at your standings, probably be a good idea to run some Gallente Event Agent missions due to Caldari standing being so high.
Now about having multiple Circle Agents in the chain give out Faction standing increase, gratz. Maybe they were changed recently. Either that or it's due to a bug. If it is a bug, then the error is definitely in your favor.
As for Data Center tags, yes they are indeed expensive.
However, to get the best price for them, ask friends in Corp chat if they have some available. Most players will have a few sitting in various stations and will sell them for a very reasonable price. Also have friends do a price check in various regions. Of course don't forget to check public contracts as well. Another thing to remember is to check all rat wrecks. Usually there will be a couple of tags to collect. May not be what you're actually looking for but they can always be sold to help pay for the tags you need.
Once again, thank you very much for posting and definitely keep us updated.

Well, I'll try to help out as best I can.
Your situation isn't as bad as it seems, Rookie ship's automatically spawn, free of charge, for capsuleers who dock their pod in any NPC station where they have no ships. Also if you haven't completed all of the Career Agents for your 'Friendly' Faction (15 agents available per Faction), you can get the various Tech 1 Frigates from them for free.
Dag Tolar wrote:What are my options here?
DT
It would be very helpful if I knew exactly what your standings are and what Social skills you have trained.
Anyway, train up Diplomacy skill asap. Hopefully that will get you up above -5.00 Faction standing so you won't be attacked by Navy NPC's. If not, you can just travel to 'Friendly' space in your pod, dock in any NPC station and get another Rookie ship for free.
Now about the Faction standings:
Hopefully one of the 'Unfriendly' negative Empire Factions is above -5.00 standing. If so, start working the Event Agents listed in 'The Plan' for that Faction. The derived standing increase you gain will eventually raise the lowest / worst Faction standing and when it get's above -5.00 standing, switch over and start working their Event Agents.
If all 'Unfriendly' Empire Factions are still -5.00 or lower, find a Corporation belonging to the 'Unfriendly' Empire Factions located in your 'Friendly' positive Factions space. Complete missions (16 + Storyline) for a Level 1 Agent (available regardless of standings) until one of the negative 'Unfriendly' Empire Factions is above -5.00 standing, then work 'The Plan'.
Sorry I couldn't be more specific. Hope this reply helps you and good luck working 'The Plan'.

cinefilul, thanks for posting.
Lucky thing you included the Agents name, made it easy to find out you're talking about the Circle Agents.
After looking at the Amarr Circle Agents I think you might be mistaken about not getting the Faction standing increase. Hopefully you started the Circle Agents with the initial starting agent - Ain Ikani.
Korini Nakan is the 3rd Circle Agent. The Faction Standing increase is gained from the 2nd Circle Agent - Ilia Abazen - for the mission 'The Carthum Executive'. I'm thinking you might have already completed it and just don't remember it.
Open character sheet - select 'Standings' - 'Liked by' tab - right click and 'Show Transactions' on Amarr Empire.
The mission name should be listed with date, time and amount of increase gained. If it's not listed, 'Show Transactions' on the Corp - Carthum Conglomerate. If it's not listed there, hopefully you haven't done the mission yet. However, I think the list only goes back for 1 year which might be another reason why the mission isn't listed.
Show info on the agent and check standings tab in the agent info box. If there's a positive standing listed, then you've already completed mission for that agent. If there's a negative standing, then you failed the mission. If neutral standing of 0.00 is listed, then you haven't worked for that agent.
The only other explanation is a bug.
As for your question, you can try these three steps :
1. Talk to that specific agent again.
2. Start the chain over again with the first agent.
3. File a petition in-game.
Good luck to you.

Gratz on getting an answer.
However, I'm a bit confused.
Is this the agent and mission you completed in 2011?
Quote:The Faction Standing increase is gained from the 2nd Circle Agent - Ilia Abazen - for the mission 'The Carthum Executive'. If so, then yeah, there's no need to continue with the Amarr Circle Agents since the Faction standing increase can only be gained once.
If you're referring to the 3rd agent in the circle - Korini Nakan - he doesn't matter. The Circle Agent - Ilia Abazen - is the one to check.

Hi cinefilul,
I thought you said the mission - 'The Carthum Executive' - was completed in 2011. If it's listed in the Corporation transactions, then it should also be listed in the Faction transactions.
If not, then the first thing to do is go talk to the agent - Ilia Abazen - and see if that mission is offered to you.
After that the only other option I can think of is to file a petition in game. CCP can easily check the info and or have the agent offer the mission if you haven't already completed it.
The actual amount of Faction standing increase from that mission is rather small so you're not missing a crucial amount of standing gain if you're not allowed to work that mission for some unknown reason. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

IgiK,
You're welcome and thank you for the compliments. No need to be sorry for asking questions, Information is King and Conversation is it's Queen.
1. Career Agents give a Faction standing increase for completing their mission series. If no Faction standing gain is received, file a petition in-game - F12 key.
The best way is to check info on the agent. In the agent info box select the standings tab. If it shows a neutral standing from the agent towards you, then you haven't done any missions for that specific agent. You can then cross reference that agent by checking your own standings section in the character sheet and see if the agent is listed. You can also select 'Show Transactions' on the agent.
The easiest way to know if you've already worked for those Agents is talk to them. Of course this entails a lot of traveling and be prepared to complete their missions if offered.
NOTE: Talking or accessing agents use to be the norm but changes / bugs within the past couple of years has now made it risky to just talk to Event Agents. There's a possibility of being locked out from access due to declining the offer as well as forgetting to accept the offer within a week.
The most definite way to know is from CCP via in-game petition. Use this option as a last resort after first checking standings and then talking to agent, especially if you think you've never accessed that agent.
2. The 'Show Career Agents' option in the F12 Help window will list Career Agents that are located near your current location. That might not be beneficial to your specific situation as it doesn't list all of the Career Agents available to you. The Evelopedia page - Career Agents - is good to use since it lists all Career Agents and their locations.
I'm not sure but the in-game 'Agent Finder' could be another option to view all Career Agents that are available to you.
Epic Arcs - The only negative standings incurred is from aggression for ship kills. There's only a few negative hits and the amount is very small when compared to the positive standing gained for completing them. Being able to complete them every 3 months makes them a very worthwhile option to pursue.
I hope this answers your questions and thank you for posting.

Royaldo,
Yes, If your friend follows 'The Plan', he can easily fix the Gallente and Minmatar negative Faction standings. Since he's at -6.00 standing, he should first stop killing Gallente / Minmatar NPC's as well as train the skill - Diplomacy - to level 5 asap.
If that skill is already trained up to level 5, then he needs to run some regular level 1 missions + storylines for Gallente or Minmatar agents located in Amarr, Ammatar or Caldari space. When he get's either Gallente or Minmatar Factions up above -5.00 standing, he can then start working the Gallente or Minmatar Event Agents listed in 'The Plan'.
To increase the amount of standing gained for completing missions, train up the skill - Social - to level 5 asap.
Good luck to your friend and thanks for posting.

DMC It also happens that a perfect -10 turns into a -6 after lvl5 diplomacy. If that's the case, not so easy as training a skill to stop getting shot at, and it would be better to grind up to lvl3/4 SOE rather than grinding Gallante/Minmatar lvl1s in Amar/Caldari space forever.
That's very true, Diplomacy lv 5 will turn -10 into -6. I thought about that as well but he posted, and I quote - "He is -6 something with these factions."
I figured that means he hasn't trained Diplomacy lv 5 yet. Hopefully he still has a couple of levels left to train.
As for grinding missions with SoE verses Minmatar or Gallente, I'm a firm believer that direct standing gains are better than derived standing gains due to getting a much larger amount of increase with the direct standing gain. Yes SoE will give derived standing increase to both Gallente and Minmatar but I think it's slower than going direct.
Besides that, if he trains Diplomacy and Social lv 5, it shouldn't take very long at all to get above -5.00 which is when he can enter Gallente / Minmatar space safely and start working the Event Agents listed in 'The Plan'.
I guess it all depends on the Eye Of The Beholder.
However, I do agree that SoE is definitely a good choice to help raise Gallente & Minmatar standings............
..............................after all Event Agents are completed of course.

Sorry to disappoint you but that was a bug which has been corrected by CCP recently. The way Faction standing increase was designed and implemented for the majority of time in this game = Faction Standing increase can not be shared.
As for buying Faction standing increase, ie, have someone else do the missions - that will still require you to log into the game, fleet up, talk to agent, warp fleet to mission site or make bookmark and give it to fleet, etc. Then when mission is completed, you will have to talk to the agent again, complete mission, then repeat the whole process again....and again.....and again, etc.
Hell, might as well just do the mission yourself and make some ISK / security status increase, unless of course you're just a market alt or an Industrial character that has no combat skills.
Anyway, thanks for posting.

Just moving this thread to the front in case someone needs it.
I'm currently working on getting my Gallente and Minmatar Faction standing back up above +7 which will bring them close to equal with Amarr and Caldari. Then I'll complete the last few Empire Cosmos Agents.
I also needed to bump this thread to keep it from getting locked.

Ifly Uwalk is correct. (Thanks)
Until the Gallente Faction is above -2.00 standing, you'll only be able to access level 1 Gallente Agents.
Training the Diplomacy skill will help a lot, especially if you're at -10.00 standing. Level 5 Diplomacy will turn -10.00 standing into -6.00 standing. Once you get the Gallente Faction above -5.00 standing, you can safely enter Gallente space and work the Event Agents listed in 'The Plan'.
The Social skill will increase the amount of standing gained for completing missions. Good luck to you.

Feanira Darr,
I'm not sure what your particular situation is at the moment, a little more info would help a lot.
The reason I said -6.00 modified standing with lv 5 Diplomacy on a -10.00 base standing is due to looking at my own stats of the Pirate NPC Factions who's ships I constantly destroy.

Ethan Bejorn,
That's a very good question. The Data Center Agents are the only one's who accept Pirate Tags for Faction standing increase.
It won't take very long to fix your Amarr standing
If Caldari standing is higher than -5.00 standing, you can enter Caldari space and work itheir Event Agents listed in 'The Plan' to gain derived standings towards Amarr.
When Amarr Faction get's up above -5.00 standing, you can then enter Amarr space and work their Event Agents.
Hope this was helpful,

I made a mistake, Connections will only affect your current positive standings which doesn't apply in this specific situation. Diplomacy skill affects your current negative standings and does apply. Training Diplomacy level 5 will more than likely give you access to Amarr space. Also just wanted to mention the Social skill increases the amount of standing gained for completing missions.
However, right now if your Caldari standing is above -5.00 then I suggest going to Caldari space and complete a few of the Caldari Data Center missions.
That's probably a lot Faster than grinding 16 level 1 missions to get 1 storyline for Faction standing increase.
Anyway, good luck to you. Hopefully this info helps.

DMC I have diplomacy 5, meant most at 4. 135M SP. =D I think I may have done those data center missions when I was very young in the game, but I will check them out.
Easy way to know if you've done those agents, check info on the agent and select the standings tab. It will show the agents standing towards you and if it's 0.00 then it's neutral and available. Any other number, either positive or negative, means you've interacted with the agent in the past and is not available.
Another way to check is in your character sheet, standings menu, liked by tab. Scroll down and search through the agents. If the agent is listed there, then you've interacted with that agent.
That takes some time, it's much easier to just pull up the agent info box and check the standings tab.

Zaxix,
Thanks for posting that info.
Yes, the Epic Arcs will indeed raise Faction standings quite high over time which is why I included them in 'The Plan'.
However, some of the Epic Arc missions do incur negative Faction standing hits for aggression and ship kill which you forgot to include in your calculations. Albeit they're small negative standing hits but they do add up over time.
Disregarding those small negative standing hits, it seems your calculations are based on a starting point of neutral standings towards all Factions. This is great for some characters but most characters have negative standings with various Empire Factions..
Also I'd like to point out that the Epic Arcs only give positive standing increase to the 4 main Empire Factions. There are actually 8 different Factions that control high security solar systems.
The main reason for working 'The Plan' is to repair negative Faction standings quickly and easily. Most players are looking to access high level agents or just want the ability to travel freely throughout high security systems without being attacked by Faction Navy NPC's. The added bonus from working 'The Plan' is that over time it will enable players to have high positive standings with all Empire Factions.
As such 'The Plan' is still the fastest and easiest way to repair negative Faction standings as well as boost positive Faction standings.
Thanks again for posting and please keep me informed of any alternate ways to gain high Faction standings. I'm always open to changing or adding more options to 'The Plan' whenever possible.

Zaxix,
Yeah, don't get me wrong, I totally agree that the Epic Arcs are an excellent source to gain positive Faction standing and as I said before is exactly the reason they are included in 'The Plan'.. Also I always encourage and advise players to use the level 1 Sister's Of Eve Epic Arc to help raise and or balance lop-sided Faction standings.
Now I'm not arguing or downing your alternate plan or the calculations you've done (I hate doing math). I'm sure it'll work and can be very useful, especially for a Trade / Industrial alt character. Just gonna be a long road consisting of declining all Empire encounter missions along with accepting NO storyline missions whatsoever.
And yes, after 2 1/2 years the character should be able to anchor a POS (1 man corp) in systems belonging to 4 of the 8 high sec Factions (Amarr, Caldari, Gallente, Minmatar).
By the way, the 8th Faction controlling high sec systems : The Interbus
Now if that same character works 'The Plan' within the same time period of 2 1/2 years, that character should be able to anchor a POS (1 man corp) in systems belonging to 6 of the 8 high sec Factions (Amarr, Caldari, Gallente, Minmatar, Khanid, Ammatar).
Currently there's no Starbase Charter available from Concord or The Interbus to allow POS anchoring, but knowing CCP that is subject to change at any time.
Anyway, thank you again for posting that information and I wish you lot's of luck.

Since your standings aren't too bad, I'd just work the various Agents listed in 'The Plan'.
Can easily gain +5 Faction standing with the 4 main factions doing that.

Thanks for posting.
Usually most of the Cosmos Agents can be worked in order starting with level 1 Agents and working up to the higher level agents.
While working a specific level, IE, level 3 Agents, it's advised to keep watch on the Faction standings and bounce over to the other Factions when needed in order to maintain access. That's covered in the section called 'The See-Saw'.
However, the Amarr Cosmos Agents can't really be done like that due to agents of different levels being chained together. In other words, a level 1 agent may give you an item with instructions to see a level 3 agent who then gives an item with instructions to see a level 2 agent, etc.
As such, it's best to follow the Amarr Cosmos guide listed in 'The Plan' and basically complete all the chained agents from level 1 to level 3. Players can then stop and work other Factions if needed, then later go back and complete the Amarr level 4 agents.
That's how I did them. I used the Amarr Data Center Agents along with the Amarr Level 4 Epic Arc to regain and boost Faction standing in order to access the Amarr level 4 Cosmos Agents.

THORAMAN,
Thanks for asking but sadly the answer is no, you can't turn in tags to them every 3 months. Almost all of the Event Agents listed in 'The Plan' can only be completed once in the life of the character.
The only exception to that rule are the Epic Arcs which can be completed every 3 months.

Thanks for posting. That's pretty good sound advice, especially about doing research beforehand. The part about gaining Corporation standing for access definitely pertains to all of the other Event Agents.
However, Cosmos Agents are an exception.
Unfortunately Cosmos Agents only accept Faction standing (modified by Social skills) for access. They also require a higher amount of Faction standing compared to all of the other Event Agents.

THORAMAN,
That's a very good question which requires two answers.
The first answer deals with the percentage of standing gained from completing missions.
https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Standings_mechanics
Using your example, you gained 0.5682% with Caldari and 0.1968% with Amarr. The primary standing gain was Caldari with Derived standing gain to Amarr. The amount of standing gained from those percentages is based on the actual amount you have left from your current standing to +10.00 standing. As your standings get closer to +10.00, the actual amount of standing gained get's smaller even though the percentage amount stays the same.
The second answer deals with the derived standings graph. Keep in mind the top graph 'In-Game Inter-Faction Relationships' is read from the top down and the bottom graph 'Derived Inter-Faction Standing Modifier' is read from left to right.
http://web.archive.org/web/20130310042624/http://www.eve-wiki.net/index.php?title=Standings#Standing_Relationships
Caldari has +5.00 standing towards Amarr who has +7.00 standing towards Caldari.
If you're doing missions for Caldari, it will continue gaining standings with Caldari up to +10.00 Faction standing. However, the Derived standing gains from Caldari to Amarr will only go up to +5.00 standing. After that no more Derived standing gain for Amarr from Caldari.
Now if you're doing missions for Amarr, it will continue gaining standings with Amarr up to +10.00 Faction standing. However, the derived standing gains from Amarr to Caldari will only go up to +7.00 Faction standing. After that no more Derived standing gains for Caldari from Amarr.
It take's a bit of time to get your head warped around how it works. CCP definitely doesn't like making things easy. Anyway, I hope this helps.

Shamash Nergal,
Thanks for posting. I think what you're asking is will 'The Plan' get you +8.00 Faction standing with Amarr and Caldari without making Gallente and Minmatar drop to -5.00 or lower standing.
Short answer, I'm not sure. The Faction Standing Repair Plan is basically just a plan which can be customized and worked to fit each players specific situation. You don't have to follow it to the letter or constantly work it if it's not needed.
Having said that, if you train up the Social skills and run all of the Amarr and Caldari Event Agents listed in 'The Plan', I see no problem getting close to or above +8.00 standing.
Of course you'll have to watch your standings with the other Factions and running the Level 1 SoE Epic Arc can definitely help keep them above -5.00 standing. The main thing to remember is don't destroy Faction ships / structures since that will definitely drop those Factions below -5.00 standing.
Anyway, hope that helps and good luck to you.

Shamash Nergal wrote:Ty!
One thing though, wont some cosmos require me to kill gall ships?
Good question.
There's a few missions but the majority of the encounter missions are against Pirate / Merc NPC's. Also most of the mission locations are in the static Cosmos Complexes. A few of the missions are in a Deadspace area which will spawn when the offer is accepted.
The trick to running Cosmos is first research the agents mission series. Usually the mission objective is to acquire a specific item. Doesn't matter how. Most items can be bought from Public Contracts and or Regional Markets. Cosmos missions are mainly seek and secure.
When you talk to an agent, don't accept the mission offer, just let it stay offered in your journal. The offer will stay for 1 week which gives you time to seek out and acquire the mission objective. After that if more time is needed you can accept it which gives you another week. That's a total of 2 weeks to actually complete the mission. The 2nd, 3rd, etc parts of the mission series will be offered automatically in the journal. Just do the same thing with them. Let the offer stay in the journal and go collect up the required item. After you get the item, accept the mission offer and collect both mission pay and bonus reward.
The guide links in 'The Plan' makes researching the agents fairly easy. Since you only need to keep Gallente and Minmatar above -5.00 standing, destroying a few of there ships shouldn't be a problem and if needed, you can always work some of their Event Agents.

Vira'li,
An easy way to check if you've accessed an agent in the past is to open the agents info box and check the standings tab. It will show the agents standing towards you. If it's 0.00 (neutral) then you haven't accessed the agent. Any other amount shown, either positive or negative, means you've accessed that agent in the past.
Since Avrue Auz is a level 1 agent, standing for access isn't a problem. While doing those missions you will be introduced to another agent - Mamo Guerre - who's mission series must be completed first to finish the mission series for Avrue Auz. You can check info on Mamo Guerre standing towards you as well for verification.
Having said that, sometimes agents tend to be lazy (bugged) and a GM can usually get them working again.
Right now your best option is to file a Support Ticket (petition) in game asap and hopefully a GM can fix the problem.
Hope that helps and good luck.

Audemed,
Thanks for posting that question.
Training Diplomacy level 5 will raise a -10.00 standing to -6.00 standing. Also don't forget to train up Social which will increase the amount of standing gained for completing missions. Criminal Connections will increase the current positive Pirate standing which will help gain access to higher level agents much faster.
As for actually gaining Pirate Faction standings, you can either grind level 1 missions + Storyline for Serpentis or continue running missions for Angel to gain derived standing gains towards Serpentis. On that note there's also Angel Cosmos Agents that will help raise Serpentis Faction with derived standing increase.
Eventually you'll get Serpentis Faction up above -2.00 standing to access their higher level agents.
Good luck to you.

A lot depends on how many hours per log in session you do.
Then you gotta take into account your skill level, type of ship and equipment used, time spent researching info on various Event Agents before interaction, extra time spent due to having hostile players in system, etc.
There's just way too many variables to give an accurate time estimate for getting up above +7.00 standing with the 4 main Empire Factions.
However I will say this. Over the years 'The Plan' has been proven time and time again by the player base to be the quickest and easiest way to build up Faction standing.

Yes, Social level 5 to gain max standing increase for completing missions would be considered the 'Must Have' skill..
However, I feel Connections level 5 is just as important since it raises your current positive standing which actually reduces the amount of time spent grinding missions in order to reach your standing amount goal.
I hope you understand what I mean. Thanks for posting and good luck to you.

Miss Negotiatrix,
If the standing amount goal is small, IE, just need to raise the positive standing amount a little bit for access, then training a couple levels of Connections to achieve it would be the better route to go since that wouldn't incur any derived standings.
As for the Diplomacy skill, that's most definitely the number one skill to train for dealing with negative standings. Basically it's like a big jump-start towards gaining positive standings.
The main thing to remember is 'The Plan' can be customized to fit your specific situation. You don't have to follow it step by step.
For example = If you just need a couple of quick injections of positive standing gain, then just complete the Data Center 'Cert' missions followed with a couple of 'Tag' missions if needed.
Hope this helps.

Miss Negotiatrix,
If the standing amount goal is small, IE, just need to raise the positive standing amount a little bit for access, then training a couple levels of Connections to achieve it would be the better route to go since that wouldn't incur any derived standings.
As for the Diplomacy skill, that's most definitely the number one skill to train for dealing with negative standings. Basically it's like a big jump-start towards gaining positive standings.

As for your sidenote, gratz and good job on bypassing the negative standing hits for aggro / ship kill. Any chance of elaborating on it?

Endecroix,
Yeah, I've heard other players say the same thing and I agree it's definitely a long grind to repair negative standings with positive derived standing gains.
However I've found that most players want to repair their negative standings quickly and as easily as possible which is the main focus of 'The Plan'.
Anyway, thanks for posting and I hope you have continued good luck with the standings game.

After i-¦ve done now my first round (of 3) of the first 5 career agents my standing against Caldari / Amarr raised significantly towards positive ... but also my Gallente standing dropped from 5,09 to 4,56 ... so i "lost" the avaiablity of all lvl 4 Gallente agents (except the corporations i have 5+)
Now i-¦m unsure what-¦s the next step would be the better.
1. Finish the career agents, circle agents and data centers lvl 1 for Caldari and after that for Amarr?
or
2. Switch over to Gallente and/or Minmatar before running Caldari / Amarr again?
Any hints?
Thanks ... Mishra
Yeah, the standings are gonna do a See-Saw action while working 'The Plan'.
Since you already have high Faction standing with Gallente Corporations, you can easily do level 4 missions for them as long as their Faction remains above -2.00 standing. If you want to access high level agents without building up high Faction standings, then you're gonna have to build up Corporation standings with the other Factions. As long as you maintain all of the Empire Factions above -2.00 standing, you'll be able to access their high level agents.
I can guarantee if you follow all the steps listed in 'The Plan' and complete all the Event Agents Level 3 and lower, you will be above +6.00 standing. Unfortunately that will take some time to complete and nobody can give a definite answer on how long that will take. Over the past couple of years I have basically done every step of 'The Plan' and my standings are well over +7.00 with the 4 main Empire Factions. During that period I spent half of the time working on standings and the other half doing exploration.
Now if you want to have high Faction standings like mine, then I suggest you continue following the steps listed in 'The Plan' and when all 4 Empire Faction standings equalize, you can then raise them all equally by 'bouncing' between the various Factions when needed by working their Event Agents.
For a short cut, bypass the Cosmos Agents for now and just concentrate on working the Career, Circle and Data Center Agents till the Faction standings equalize. Remember to keep watch on your standings and 'bounce' over to another Faction as needed to equally raise all the Faction standings. Since you already had high standings with Gallente, you probably won't have to complete all of their Event Agents in order to maintain equal standings with the other Empire Factions. After you've completed most of the Career, Circle and Data Center Event Agents and have raised the 4 main Factions equally, you'll have a much better idea of what steps are needed to complete your goal.
Hope this helps.

Arashi Kumo,
Hello and welcome to the forums.
As long as your Empire Faction standings remain above -5.00 standing, you can freely travel everywhere. To access high level agents, the Faction standing needs to remain above -2.00 standing.
R&D Agents require a minimum amount of positive Faction and Corporation standing for access. To see what amount is needed, show info on the agents and then work 'The Plan' to achieve that goal. After reaching the minimum amount of Faction standing, you'll have to do regular missions to gain the Corporation standing.
The thing about the Epic Arcs is they give a large Faction standing increase with little to no derived standing hits. The only problem is they can only be completed every 3 months. The rest of the Event Agents can only be completed once in the life of the character.
If you follow 'The Plan' you'll be able to access R&D Agents with each Empire Faction. Training Research Project Management skill to Level 5 will give access to 6 R&D Agents.
For right now I suggest you follow the steps outlined in 'The Plan' and get the Faction standings close to equal. After viewing the required amount of standings needed for R&D Agents, bounce between the various Event Agents until you have gained the minimum amount of required Faction standings, then work regular missions for the Corporation Agents. Make sure to decline all Anti-Empire encounter missions and also Storyline mission offers in order to maintain your Faction standings.
Hope this makes sense. Good luck to you and if you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

Wuu Tang,
Thanks for posting that very good question. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe you're talking about derived standings.
So to answer your question, I would say the Epic Arc missions are pretty much the only type that does what you're asking.
Just remember though, doing them will still incur a little bit of negative Faction standing hits due to ship kills / aggression. The amount of negative standing incurred is very small compared to the amount of positive standing gained for completion.
Also the negative standing hits to the other Faction can be easily managed just by completing their Epic Arcs as well.

Shiloh Templeton,
Yes I agree, the main reason for having high Faction standings in the past was to anchor a POS in high security.
However, there's still other benefits to having high Faction standings too, mainly being able to access all Agents in all Corporations within those Factions. That makes it very easy to build up Corporation standing to create Jump Clones, get reduced tax on Refining as well as access high level Locator Agents.
I think CCP did a big mistake when they removed the Faction Standing requirement for anchoring POS in high security systems but that's a topic for another thread.
Anyway, 'The Plan' itself was actually created to repair negative Faction standings. While in the process of doing that it also helps boost positive Faction standings. If worked correctly players can easily get positive Faction standings with all Empire Factions. Over time the 4 main Factions can be well above +7.00 Faction standing.

Wow, got some action happening in this thread again.
Thank you all for posting info here. It's definitely helpful and very much appreciated.
Murderface Mona wrote:Do you have a recommended ship or class of ship for completing most of these missions?
That's a very good question, not to mention also very important.
Since I'm Minmatar I only used Minmatar ships. Also I had completed the Event Agents listed in 'The Plan' before CCP did their Ship re-balancing so all of my ship fits were max fit using T2, Faction and Deadspace modules.
The main thing to remember is that the difficulty level of Cosmos Agent missions are actually a step higher than regular Agent missions. Basically that means a level 2 Cosmos Agent is actually equal to a level 3 regular Agent.
Having said that I can only list ship class, not specific names.
All of the level 1 Event Agents can be easily completed in a combat Frigate, best to use an Assault Frigate when you do the level 1 Cosmos Agents.
For level 2 Cosmos Agent missions I suggest a well fit Cruiser. I actually used 2 different types. A basic Combat Cruiser (T1) and a Force Recon Cruiser (T2), depending on the mission.
For majority of level 3 Cosmos Agent missions I used a T1 Battlecruiser.
For level 4 Cosmos Agent missions and also for the Epic Arcs I used a T3 Strategic Cruiser. (The only Epic Arc mission I can't complete solo is the final mission in the Caldari Epic Arc due to the perma-jam being done by Elite Cruisers. I have a Fleet member help with that mission.)
At various times depending on the situation I'd use other ships, such as a Shuttle, Industrial, Blockade Runner, etc. Some missions send you into Complexes that only allow a specific class of ship and other missions send you into low sec so a ship able to use a Covert Ops Cloak module is very helpful (Force Recon, Blockade Runner, T3 Cruiser). Also remember some of the missions require probing and some require Hacking so you'll need a ship capable of that while doing combat as well.
The Event Agent missions can only be completed once so best to be prepared with a large variety of ships to use including a Battleship. Also make sure you have some friends online and nearby cause some of the missions may require Fleet members to complete.
Sorry I couldn't be more specific, hope this is helpful and good luck to you.

Thanks for the insight. The task seems overwhelming, but I'm sure if I take it on a little bit at a time I can get it done.
Well, I've listed various walk-through guide links in 'The Plan' for most of the Event Agent missions. As such, it makes it a lot easier to complete them. I suggest you do a little bit of research and view them first before actually contacting those Agents.
What I did was first view the various guides for a specific Agent and make a list of all items required to complete that Agents mission series. Then I'd go seek and secure those items first whenever possible before even contacting that Agent. Doing that allowed me to complete the missions and collect both the mission and bonus time rewards.
Most of the items can be obtained from Public Contracts and or Regional Markets if needed which helps a lot, especially if the mission is against one of the 4 main Empire Factions. Just remember doing that can get rather expensive but greatly reduces the amount of time required to actually complete those missions.
I mainly only did that when the mission was against one of the 4 main Empire Factions, which wasn't too often. Most of the time I just researched the Agents mission series first and then did the 'Seek & Secure' aspect first.
Anyway, hope you have much success and good luck working 'The Plan'.

Thank You for you time.
Hello and welcome to Eve.
Faction standings are a bit of a puzzle right at first but this Standings table makes it much easier to understand. Whenever you complete a Storyline or Event Agent mission, your Faction standings will change. Also destroying certain structures and NPC ships will affect your standings as well.
To build up Faction standing directly with Thukker Tribe requires completing storyline missions gained after completing 16 regular missions. There's also 7 Thukker Tribe Cosmos Agents available as well.
Just remember whenever you gain Faction standing directly with Thukker Tribe, you'll lose Faction standing with all the other Factions except Minmatar Republic. Thukker Tribe has positive standing with Minmatar Republic so they'll gain derived Faction standings indirectly whenever Faction standing is gained with Minmatar Republic.
In my opinion it's actually better to build up Thukker Tribe with derived standing gains from Minmatar Republic. I'd save the Thukker Tribe Cosmos Agents for later after gaining high standing with the other Empire Factions.
In order to access high level Thukker Agents, just maintain their Faction above -2.00 standing. For traveling maintain their Faction above -5.00 standing. The Diplomacy skill should be able to achieve that quite easily.
Good luck to you, hope this was helpful.

So I'm on the right path. After 16 Thukker Mix I should see a storyline mission that will move that -81 closer to zero.
I had thought about doing another Minmatar tutoiral but then I worried about throwing Ammatar and Caldari off. I still got Sister of Eve coming up where you get to select free standing but I was planning to donate that to Ammatar to offset future stuff I don't know about yet.
If you follow the basic steps listed in 'The Plan', you'll be able to easily get and keep positive standings with all Empire Factions.
If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks for posting and good luck to you.

Hello Papera Ebaki,
Thank you very much for the compliment. It's always good to see 'The Plan' is still helping Capsuleers.
Now about your situation. First let's address the grinding of 16 regular missions to gain a Storyline mission offer.
Yes, if offered a Storyline encounter mission against Empire Factions, decline it and continue grinding regular missions to get another Storyline offer. The same applies to grinding regular missions. If offered an encounter mission against Empire Factions, decline it and if necessary, wait out the 4 hour decline timer or access another Agent. That way any positive standings previously gained won't be damaged. I know it makes the process longer but it's well worth it.
As for your main issue, first off train Diplomacy and Connections to level 5 asap. That will give you a much better idea on how to proceed. Secondly, I can't really give advise on what steps to do without knowing how many Event Agents you've already accessed.
When working 'The Plan', the standings will do a 'Sea-Saw' action, meaning they will go up and down with the completion of each Event Agent. The main thing to do is to keep watch on the standings and 'bounce' over to the Faction with the lowest standings while you still have access to that level of Agent.
For example :
Let's say you've already accessed all level 1 and level 2 Event Agents for Minmatar and Gallente Factions with Minmatar above +5.00 standing and Gallente above +4.00 standing. Amarr Faction is currently at +1.00 standing and Caldari is +1.50 standing. Since Amarr Faction standing is the lowest and Minmatar Faction standing is the highest, work the Amarr Event Agents and keep watch on Minmatar Faction standing until it get's close to yet still remains above +3.00 Faction standing, then 'bounce' back to Minmatar and work their level 3 Event Agents.
Note : When doing that, Gallente Faction can be used instead of Minmatar since Gallente standings won't be hit as hard when working Amarr Event Agents. As such, their standings will probably become higher than Minmatar allowing access to their level 3 Event Agents.
Anyway, while doing that, keep watch on the other Factions and whichever one becomes the lowest standing, that's the next Faction to 'bounce' to and work. The trick is to maintain access to the current or next level of Event Agents for that Faction. Sometimes it can't be done and that's when the grinding of 16 regular missions for a Storyline offer is needed to get back to working 'The Plan'.
Eventually the Empire Faction standings will get close to being equal which is the initial goal. After that it's basically work one Factions Event Agent and then 'bounce' to another Factions Event Agent to slowly bring them all up together. The Epic Arcs are excellent for doing this, especially the level 1 Sisters Of Eve Epic Arc which allows you to choose one of the four main Empire Factions for completion.
I hope this info helps and feel free to ask questions again if needed. May you have good luck and much success working 'The Plan'.

I'm thinking its buy all the affordable data center tags for the faction of interest, and its main ally, and turn those in. Then buy the lv 2 cosmos items for both factions on contract and turn those in as well. I think in this case the circle agents and 'starter' agents would generally be a waste of time. I wonder if that would be enough, assuming you had the relevant social skills trained to V.
Well, that's pretty close.
When your standings are neutral or a little bit negative, the amount of standing gained from completing the low level Event Agents (Career, Circle, Data 'Cert' Agents) actually equals out to be quite large.
The path I'd take to quickly gain a significant amount of positive standing would be to first complete the 3 level 1 Data 'Cert' Agents along with the Storyline Agent mission (Name on the 'Cert'). Next step would be to complete the rest of the Data Center Agents.
Of course those steps should be done for the Allied Faction as well.
For example :
Work the 3 level 1 Data 'Cert' Agents for Minmatar along with the 3 level 1 Data 'Cert' Agents for Gallente. Then after completing those Agents, work the Storyline Agent mission (Name on the 'Cert') for both Factions, then complete the rest of the Data Center Agents for both Factions.

Yeah, in that scenario Amarr stops giving derived standing gains to Caldari when Caldari get's to +7.00 Faction Standing whereas Caldari stops giving derived standing gains to Amarr when Amarr gets to +5.00 Faction Standing.
As for Gallente and Minmatar, they both stop giving Derived Standing gains when their ally gets to +8.00 Faction Standing.
Always a good idea to check the Derived Inter-Faction Standing Modifier graph first.

Hello Barrak and welcome back to Eve.
Wow, that's a lot of info. Hopefully I can give you some idea on how to proceed.
First of all Faction Standings can't be shared between characters like Corporation and Agent standings, so fleeting up to get more than one character Faction standings at the same time won't work. Basically the character who accepts the Storyline / Event Agent mission will be the only one to get the Faction standing increase.
Course you can always fleet up multiple characters to help complete the mission much more quickly which would be very helpful. You can also accept the mission offer with one character (Trader) and use another character (Combat) to run the mission. I suggest using your Combat character to gain standings first so it can be used later on to complete missions for your Trader characters.
Anyway, best thing right now is to train up Diplomacy, Connections and Social skills. Doing that will give you better insight of what steps to do next.
Hope that helped and feel free to ask questions again.

Personally I don't think your main combat character would be useless. Quite the contrary.
I'd work 'The Plan' with him for a little bit to gain access to the 4 main Factions space which would allow him to go everywhere. Then he can be the muscle to quickly complete missions for the other characters. Not to mention being able to enter all Empire space is especially good if you're interested in doing Exploration.
Basically if you're looking to just travel through high security Empire space or to do Trade, all you really need is to maintain high security Empire Factions above -5.00 standing. Now if you're looking to access Event Agents, most will accept Corporation standing as long as you maintain their Faction above -2.00 standing. Cosmos Agents are the only exception. They only accept Faction standing for access.
Not sure what you mean by a 'single' standing. If you only worked Event Agents for one set of allied Factions (Gallente & Minmatar or Amarr & Caldari) and only destroyed Faction NPC's / Structures required to complete the mission and didn't care about getting negative derived standing hits towards the other Factions, you can most definitely get well above +8.00 Faction standing. Probably close to +10.00 Faction standing.
As for amount of time it takes to work 'The Plan', nobody can really say since it depends on just exactly how high you wanna raise the standings. Not to mention how much personal time you want to invest in working 'The Plan'.
First thing to do is to train up the various Social skills and then see what all 4 main Empire Faction standings end up being at. Also I need to know just exactly what your 'end goal' is pertaining to Faction standings. That info would make it much easier for me to make suggestions which could help accomplish your goal.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful and as usual, if you have any more question, please feel free to ask..

Yeah, that's a lot more clear.
To get standings for the Traders while using the combat characters to run the missions - Basically the Traders accept the mission offer and go to the mission site with the combat character in fleet. After the fleet lands at the site, the Trader character warps back to station and waits for the combat character to run the mission, then afterwards the Trader completes the mission with the Agent.
Rinse and repeat.
Now about getting standings for a specific station, that sounds like you wanna use the stations Refining service. Only need Corporation standing (+6.67) for that which can be quickly gained using the method described above.
I'm not sure if it's still available (CCP has quickly changed a lot of stuff recently) but characters use to get a break on Broker Fee's if they had high Faction Standings.
Anyway, when you gain standing with one Faction, you'll also gain Derived standing increase with that Factions Ally so yeah, that's sorta like fast tracking positive standing increase with both Factions at the same time.
If you have any more questions, just ask.

Barrak,
This is from Evelopedia :
https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Market_Discussions_FAQ#Pilot_Skills_and_Standings
Quote:What impact do standings have on trading? The Market Order Broker Fees paid on placing a standing Market order are influenced by a pilot's standings (unadjusted by skills) to the corporation that owns station at which he or she is setting an order, and the faction of that corporation. Sales Taxes are not influenced by standings, nor are Contract Broker Fees. See also a chart illustrating the effect of positive standings on Market Order Broker Fees. A stealth patch in early 2010 changed the relationship between Market Order Broker Fees and standings; the formula is now: BrokerFee % = (1.000 % GÇô 0.050 % +ù BrokerRelationsSkillLevel) / 2 ^ (0.1400 +ù FactionStanding + 0.06000 +ù CorporationStanding), where FactionStanding and CorporationStanding are each in the range GÇô10.00 to 10.00. Note that faction standings have more than two times the impact of corporation standings. The minimum broker fee rate payable with Broker Relations at Level V and maximum standings is 0.1875%; the maximum, with no skills and horrible negative standings it's 4.000%. Standings do not influence the price demanded by NPC corporations for their items (BPOs, skill books, &c.).
Now about your Trader characters - They can run the low level Event Agent missions (Career, Circle, Data Cert, etc.) easily enough. In fact, the Data Center Agents only require Tags to complete their missions so to quickly run through them, all you need is plenty of ISK. The standing percentage gained from the low level Event Agents may not seem like a lot but for characters with low or no standings, the gain is actually quite large.
Now about your main Combat characters, as long as they stay above -5.00 Faction standing they will have no trouble entering Empire space to complete missions for your Trader characters. For the Combat characters to access high level Agents, they will need to get above -2.00 Faction standing.
Cosmos Agents are the only ones that require Faction standing for access. All other agents will accept Corporation standing instead of Faction standing for access, as long as the Faction standing doesn't drop to or below -2.00 Faction standing.
I hope this helps, good luck and much success to you.

I think you're asking about getting a Storyline mission offer. If so then the answer is yes. All types of missions, regardless if from regular Agents or Event Agents, are added to the 16 mission completion count.

Hi Barrak,
Well, since CCP has been constantly changing things I could be mistaken but as far as I know, all completed missions are added to the 16 mission count for a Storyline mission offer. Those missions have to be the same level with the same Faction.
I believe most of the Career Agents offer 10 missions in their series so you should have had a Storyline offer about 1/2 way through the next Career Agents mission series. The Career Agents don't actually send players to another Agent, all they do is mention in their last closing text message that Sister Alitura in Arnon system is looking for Capsuleers to complete an Epic Mission Arc.
Standing Relationships
Quote:Please note: In the Standing Relationships link, the 'In-Game Inter-Faction Relationships' graph is read from the top down and the 'Derived Inter-Faction Standing Modifier' graph is read from left to right.
As for doing Caldari Event Agent missions to help increase Amarr Faction standing, according to the Standings Relationship Graph linked above, Caldari will give derived standing gains to Amarr until Amarr reaches +5.00 Faction standing. Probably a good idea to run the lower level Caldari Event Agents up to that standing amount for Amarr, then train up the Connections skill to boost Amarr Faction standing up even more.
Now about keeping track of missions for Storyline offer, check out the Storyline Tracker = http://eve.timers.dk/
Hopefully this info helps.
Good luck to you.

Ahhh, you're welcome, glad to help out whenever I can. Feel free to ask questions whenever needed.
As for gaining more Amarr Faction standing, make sure to train up the Connections skill asap. That will increase your current positive standings and don't forget to train up the Social skill as well. That will increase the amount of standing gained for completing missions.
By the way, have you already completed the 3 Data Center 'Cert' Agents and also completed the mission series for the Agent that's listed on the cert ?
Other that that, it sounds like you're on the right track now. Hope you have much success working 'The Plan'..

Hello and thanks for posting.
As for your question - Yes you could do that and like you said, slowly bring them all up equally. The key word here is 'Slowly'.
Since your character is basically starting out fresh, you can easily get very high Faction standings rather quickly with the 4 main Factions just by working the Event Agents listed in 'The Plan'.
I suggest you work the low level Event Agents (Circle, Career and Data Center 'Cert' Agents) and then see how your standings look. You'll be surprised at how fast it actually is compared to working 16 regular missions just to get one Storyline Mission offer.
Besides that, you could end up declining that Storyline offer due to it being an encounter mission against one of the 4 main Factions. That means you'd have to do another 16 regular missions again just for another chance to gain Faction standing increase.

Nhoor,
Yeah, it's basically a dance. Two steps forward and one step back.
That's the reason for the 'Bounce' action to the opposing Faction. Just gotta keep watch on the standings and switch Faction when needed to raise standings without cutting off access to the previous Faction.
Anyway, I hope you have good luck and much success working 'The Plan'..

Hello Jeremiah Saken,
Thanks for posting. I'll try to help as best as I can.
First thing to do is train level 5 in Connections and Social. The skill Connections will raise your current positive standings and Social will increase the amount of standing gained for completing missions.
Since you already have positive standing with the 4 main Empire Factions, all you really need to access the Epic Arcs is +5.00 standing with the Corporation of the starter Agents.
https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Epic_mission_arcs
I suggest running regular level 3 missions for Impetus (Gallente) and Brutor Tribe (Minmatar) to gain access to their Epic Arcs. Decline the Storyline mission offers so you won't diminish your Amarr and Caldari standings. Also don't forget to decline all Anti-Empire encounter missions
You can also run the level 1 SoE Epic Arc and choose one of the four main Factions for completion. In this case I suggest Minmatar since they're the lowest. Also all of the Epic Arcs can be redone every 90 days. There's a few missions that incur negative standings for ship kill but the amount is very small.
Once you have access to all of the Epic Arcs, it will be much easier to maintain Amarr and Caldari Faction standing while increasing Gallente and Minmatar Faction standing.
I use Mission Reports as a guide for the Epic Arcs. Be sure to read the comments section at the bottom of each mission page.
http://eve-survival.org/wikka.php?wakka=MissionReportsEpicArc
Hope this helps to get you started, if you have any more questions please feel free to ask.

Ahhh, so you're working 'The Plan' to boost positive standings for a Trade character, good idea.
Yeah, that's correct, no derived standings for completing the Epic Arcs. Now if you've already completed all of the Minmatar Event Agents, then I suggest jumping over to Gallente and start doing their Event Agents.
The reason I say that is because it will take quite a bit of time grinding regular missions just to get a Storyline offer. Also you might have to decline the Storyline offer which will make it even longer to gain Faction and derived standing increase.
Just remember that the low level Gallente Event Agents won't show very much increase due to you already having high standings but still every little bit helps.
After completing the Gallente Event Agents, run the level 4 Minmatar and Gallente Epic Arcs every 3 months to continue raising standings and use the level 1 SoE Epic Arc to help increase / balance those standings.
Good luck to you and thanks for posting.

Well, the high sec Cosmos Agents were documented quite a while ago and CCP hasn't really done much to them so those guides are still viable.
Probably the most comprehensive one available at this time is this one written in German which requires the use of a translator app.
Also the EVE Special Agents Toolkit is another app listing mission info.
Then there's the old Gallente and Minmatar Cosmos Guide which is closed out but with the help of the 'Wayback Machine' you can still view the text.
Last is the Gallente Cosmos Guide listed in Evelopedia, however that doesn't offer much info, just a list of the Agents, location and mission names. It really should be updated with more info like the Evelopedia Amarr Cosmos Guide.
Anyway, I suggest checking them all out and do a Google search for more info.
Good luck.

I've completed all of the 'Recruiter' Agents in low sec at 'Fort Kumar' and 'The Alliance Barracks'. Their Level 4 mission is called 'Proving Your Mettle'. Basically you have to collect 'Certificates' and destroy a bunch of drones in a Training Center located in their system. I started with a cloaked T3 Cruiser and finished with a cloaked Force Recon Cruiser to use Combat Drones. Make sure you take out the EWAR / web-scram drones asap. I had Safe Spots set up and watched D-scan for other players. If local is busy, go do something else and be sure to check back at different time slots for an open window to complete the missions.
Amarr Military Training Facility
Minmatar Military Training Complex - 2nd room
The level 3 low sec Empire Cosmos Agents don't give any Faction standing increase.
The only two Empire Cosmos Agents I haven't completed yet is Ison Tiadala - Warlord (Minmatar) and Minas Iksan - Central Control Tower (Amarr). They each offer a 10 part mission series against their enemy Factions which require destroying a lot of Empire NPC's. I decided I would do them later due to no BPC's as reward plus I'd like to build up more standings to act as a buffer. I'll probably run them both at the same time so as to maintain access to both Agents. I consider those two Agents as the End Game for the Empire Cosmos Agents.
My next goal is to complete the Guristas and Angel Cosmos Agents followed by the Thukker Tribe Cosmos Agents. Will definitely need a large buffer on the Empire Faction standings for that. Last I plan to work on the Null Sec Cosmos Agents.

I also did the Ison Tiadala mission we were talking about and let me just say be sure to have a nice buffer as it hit my caldari standings pretty hard on my main combat char... I was however able to get through all that series with a tengu, though it took a bit of time.
Yeah, now you know why I said Ison Tiadala - Warlord (Minmatar) and Minas Iksan - Central Control Tower (Amarr) are the 'End Game' for the Empire Cosmos Agents.
Since there's hardly any info available on the Low Sec Cosmos Agents, my plan when I run them is to document them with screen shots like I posted earlier. Could document them in the Test server (Singularity), definitely wouldn't have to worry about interruptions from other players. I just don't like the idea of having to do it twice though.
Which reminds me, did you happen to document that mission series from Ison Tiadala?

That would bring me up to 8 unmodified derived in gal but honestly, .1 gal standings is not worth that much extra work so I am just making the switch now.
Anyway... Tomorrow I plan on making the move to gal space so I'll keep you updated
So you're saying the Cosmos Ship BPC Agent didn't give you hardly any Faction standing increase after completion? Well that sux, makes it very tough to gain access to the other two Cosmos Ship BPC Agents. Oh well, at least we got the Epic Arcs to help gain access to them.
Anyway, thanks a lot for posting that info. Keep up the good work.

As far as I know, there hasn't been any major changes done to the Event Agents listed in 'The Plan'. However every once in a while they do develop some bugs whenever new game patches are added.

Yes, almost all of the Event Agents listed in 'The Plan' can only be completed once in the characters lifetime. Currently the only exception are the Epic Arc's which can be completed every 90 days. Epic Arc's can always be accessed as long as the Faction remains above -2.00 standing along with +5.00 or higher Corporation standing.
Currently there's no definite plans that I know of that's being worked on pertaining to Standings. Course CCP likes to do things without giving any prior notice. I'm sure they have lot's of changes planned for this game which includes Agents, Missions and Standings. However most of their plans are nothing more than a 'Wish List', a nice dream that rarely ever comes true. The plans that do get worked on usually takes a long time to be put into action.
As for 'The Plan' being tedious, most players spend years creating negative standings so of course it'll take some time to repair those standings. 'The Plan' has proven itself time and time again to be the easiest and quickest way to not only repair negative Faction standings but also boost positive Faction standings as well.
Yes it's a big decision to get positive standings with all Empire Factions, definitely not something to take lightly. So if you're not sure about it and feel more comfortable playing 'Hopscotch' with Factional Warfare, then it's probably best to just continue doing that.
Thanks for posting and good luck to you, whatever you decide to do.

Hello Capsuleers,
Sorry for my absence, I was 'Lost In Space' for a while but luckily communication with Mission Control allowed me to find my way back.
As for following 'The Plan', the steps laid out in it are merely guidelines which can be customized to fit each capsuleers situation. In other words, if you wanna just do all of the Data Center Agents then by all means do it. I don't know if you'll be able to gain sufficient standing from each Data Center Agent to access the next Agent in line.
If so, please post that info here.
Just a word of advice though, the low level agents (Career, Circle, Data Center, Cosmos) all give a small amount of Faction Standing increase. If you have low standings with their Faction they actually give you a rather large increase. If you decide to do them later and don't do them first as advised in 'The Plan', their standing increase will seem like a waste of time.
Now about asking for screen shots, I don't actually recall doing that. Maybe it was for the Cosmos Agents Mission Briefing. Guess I'll have to re-read the thread.
Hope that helps and thanks to all for posting.

Cai Shen,
Thanks for the reply. Obviously all of the Guides currently available for Cosmos are old and need to be updated with current info, especially since some of the missions have been changed by CCP over the past few years.
If anyone is currently working on documenting and creating a new Cosmos Guide, when completed it would be an immense help for all Capsuleers to present it as a guide link here in 'The Plan'.

WTH ?
CCP has gotta be out of their frackin' minds to discontinue Evelopedia. And on top of that they announce it only 4 days prior to removing it. CCP should have gave a one month advance notice. Granted it wasn't the best but it did contain a lot of valuable info guides.
Anyway, I jumped into the Wayback Machine and pulled up a copy of 'The Plan. The link is in the original post of this thread. Hopefully it works for you.

Z'ar Drakken,
Thanks for posting. Having -8.35 with Minmatar and -9.25 with Gallente is pretty bad but it can be fixed. Course doing that will lower your Amarr and Caldari standing which I imagine is fairly high. Don't despair, you can still have positive standing with all 4 main Factions. It's just gonna take some time to get the standings up.
First thing to do is definitely train Diplomacy Lv 5 and then train Social Lv 5 next followed with Connections. While those are training, you're gonna have to grind some Lv 1 missions for a Minmatar corp located in Amarr or Caldari space to get Storyline missions. When your Minmatar Faction standing get's above -5.00 standing (-4.99 or higher), you can then safely enter Minmater space if that's all you want. To safely enter Gallente space as well you'll have to work the Minmatar Event Agents listed in 'The Plan'.
Basically you'll work the Minmatar Career Agents, then their Circle Agents, followed by their Data Center Agents. If needed you can also work their Cosmos Agents. While doing that, keep watch on Gallente Faction standing and when it get's above -5.00 standing (-4.99 or higher), you can then start working their Event Agents too. Also don't forget about the Lv 1 SoE Epic Arc.
To fast track gaining positive standing, when you're finally able to safely enter Minmatar space, just work the Data Center Agents. It takes a long time to gather the requested Tags so you'll have to spend ISK to get the Tags.
Remember, be prepared and have the necessary items first before contacting the Event Agents.
Hope this helps and good luck to you.

Ok, so basically you want access to all 4 main Factions space.
Just do what I already posted - train up Diplomacy, Social and Connection skills while grinding Lv 1 missions (Distribution missions can be completed very quickly) for Storyline offers with Minmatar corp located in Amarr space - raise Minmatar Faction standing above -5.00 for access to their space and then start working their Lv 1 Event Agents.
However while doing that keep an eye on Amarr Faction standing and don't let it get to -5.00 or lower. When Minmatar and Amarr Faction standing become or are close to being equal (both will probably still have negative standing), start bouncing back and forth between them.
In other words, complete an Event Agent for Minmatar and then complete an Event Agent for Amarr, then back to Minmatar, and so forth. You want to bring them both up pretty much at the same time.
After working Minmatar and Amarr Lv 1 Event Agents, you should be able to access Gallente and Caldari Lv 1 Event Agents. Do the same thing with them, bounce back and forth between them, bringing both of those Factions up together. Then do the same with Lv 2 Event Agents (Minmatar & Amarr / Gallente & Caldari), then Lv 3, then Lv 4 or until you get the Faction standings up to where you want them to be.
If you have plenty of ISK, by the time you complete all of the Data Center Agents, all 4 Factions should have good positive standings. I doubt you'll need to access any Cosmos Agents.
While working the Data Center Agents, you might get stuck and not have enough Faction standing to access the next level Agent, if so just grind some Distribution missions with that Agents Corp for some Storyline offers.
Please keep us updated on your progress and good luck to you.

As for losing standing, other than what you already mentioned attacking and destroying structures owned by NPC's will also cause you to lose standing.
Anyway, sounds like you got it handled. Hope you have good luck and much success.

In no time at all you'll be over +9.00 standing with the 4 main Empire Factions.

Agent Yelena wrote:Does anyone know if you lose the same standing percentage when you fail a special mission - for example if one would give you 5%, upon failing it would you lose the same percentage? That's a very good question. Probably why nobody has jumped in to answer it. I've been having some spotty Internet issues.
Anyway, sounds like you're talking about Cosmos Missions. I wanna say it's half of what was to be gained. I've never been in that situation so I can't really give a definite answer on the amount of loss. A Senior GM would know the answer.
The main thing is most Cosmos Missions can only be completed once in the life of the character for Faction Standing increase. Do not fail, quit, decline or let those mission offers expire. It could lock out access to other Agents.
Agent Yelena wrote:P.S. I know you actually lose more the higher your standing is, that's why I am asking about the percentage. Like, if you are at 9.99 standing and you lose 10% you'd actually lose 10% of 19.99 standing (-10 to 9.99), or 1.99 which is huge loss.
Yeah, at +9.99 that would be a huge hit. Just have to do another run through the Epic Arcs.
If you follow up on your question with CCP and get an answer, please post it here so we can all be updated. Wish I could have been more helpful.

Agent Yelena wrote:Yes, it was a COSMOS mission. For anyone doing them - be prepared for this outcome. Since you have to go through low sec many times there is always a chance of failing the mission. I have way to high standings - almost 9.90 and I could not afford to fail it so I just paid a lot of ISK for the mission item.
Well, I'm sorry to hear that. At least you completed the mission and got the Faction standing increase. It sounds like the Caldari Cosmos. Specifically the almost always camped Ihakana system which is the only way in and out of Otomainen system.
When I ran Cosmos, I first researched the Agents mission series, then acquired the items on my own as best I could, either by the usual seek and destroy run of the Complexes or if needed, purchasing the item from Public Contracts. Then I'd collect everything and do one run to the Agent and quickly complete each mission in the series. That plan worked great most of the time, however every once in a while I'd have to complete a special Security or Distribution mission.
Agent Yelena wrote:One more thing: always assume there is a cloaked heavy interdictor at the gate, so no matter how many warp core stabs you have, you'd be stopped. That's what happened to me.  . My best advice is to check local and people's history on zkillboard if you really wanna pass with an expensive ship. Simply scouting ahead won't be enough. They have scouts on their own. Again, sorry to hear that and very good advice. I always used a Cloaked ship for running in or through Low Sec, mainly a T3 Cruiser. Usually I'd wait till just before Downtime or right after Cluster Startup to make my run. If I had to, I'd log out while in space at a Safe Spot. For Otomainen system, I researched all of the Agents there, collected up all of the items I could, then loaded them up in a Giant Secure Container and used a Blockade Runner to transport it to the system, made a deep safe spot, anchored it and went back for my T3 Cruiser.
I actually used my Blockade Runner to complete the last Empire Agent located in that system, an Amarr Cosmos Agent - Akemon Tolan who's trapped in the Prison (3rd) Stage of the Guristas Complex. I already had all of his required items and I thought it would be a cake walk to just cruise in cloaked, complete each mission and then warp out. I warped into the 1st stage cloaked, made my way to the 2nd stage gate without being decloaked by the NPC's, warped cloaked into the 2nd stage, did the same thing and made my way to the 3rd stage gate which wouldn't let me access it.
Not good, all NPC's had to be destroyed to unlock the gate. While I was sitting there cloaked deciding on what course of action I should take, 2 player ships came into the room and immediately started destroying the NPC's, I watched the show and when they accessed the gate to the 3rd stage, I followed them in cloaked and watched them destroy all the NPC's there as well. Talk about perfect timing, all I needed was access to the Agent. After the were done and warped out, I thanked them in Local for helping me to complete the Agents mission series. After explaining the situation to them, they commended me on trying a different approach and making it work.
Agent Yelena wrote: Also, bring an alt with a fast frigate - put the mission item in there, he will have much better chance on succeeding. I uncloaked my alt for almost a minute and they did not touch him, they knew the big fish was coming. If only I gave him the item... Yeah, usually good advice. I think most campers are looking to pad their KillBoard count so they'll definitely wait for the ship following the scout. Personally I think if there was 3 or 4 players in a fleet running Cosmos, the campers wouldn't even bother with them, too much trouble when they can just wait a bit and jump on a lone ship.
In fact, the only scouting I did was with Starmap stats, never had an Alt scout. I did enlist a few friends to help out on some of the tougher missions and I did lose a couple of ships in the process of completing all of the Empire Cosmos Agents. My main reason for doing Cosmos was for the standings to prove that 'The Plan' would work. The 2nd reason was to acquire all of the Cosmos BPC's and last but not least, I enjoyed the story plots of each Empires Cosmos Constellation.
Anyway, I'm glad you were successful despite the trouble encountered. Hopefully you'll find some useful info in my reply. Good luck and much success on accomplishing your goal of achieving +10.00 Faction Standing.

agharaster,
Thanks for the +1.
I don't know if there's an in-game channel to hire mission runners for NPC Corp Standing boost. In my opinion standings are pretty easy to gain so I don't think a Standings Service channel would get a lot of action.
However there were a few players who use to sell Standings Service in the sub-forum 'Sell Orders'. I looked through a few pages, 12 to be exact, and happened to find this ad.
Good luck to you and thanks for posting.

Hello Tub Chil,
First and foremost if you haven't done so already, train up the Diplomacy skill to level 5. That skill will raise your Gallente Faction up close to -5.00 standing. To receive maximum standing gains so you can quickly raise Gallente Faction above -5.00 standing, I suggest training Social skill up to level 5 as well.
Since you remarked about your Gallente Faction standing being so low, presumably your Minmatar Faction standing is higher than Gallente. After training up level 5 Diplomacy, hopefully your Minmatar Faction will be above -5.00 standing.
If so, complete missions for the 3 Minmatar Data Center 'Graduation Certificate' Agents. After completing the 3rd 'Cert' mission, take one of the certs to the Agent listed on the certificate. That Agent will offer a 5 part Storyline mission that introduces another Event Agent offering a 2 part Storyline mission.
After completing those missions, hopefully your Gallente Faction will be above -5.00 standing. If so, then go complete missions for the 3 Gallente Data Center 'Graduation Certificate' Agents as well as the Agent whose name is listed on the 'Cert'.
With Diplomacy skill and Social skill trained up to level 5, your Gallente Faction should be well above -5.00 standing after completing the missions listed above.
If Minmatar Faction isn't above -5.00 standing after training up level 5 Diplomacy skill, then you'll have to find Minmatar Agents in Caldari or Amarr space and do a little bit of grinding for Minmatar level 1 Agents to get a Storyline mission offer. When Minmatar Faction gets above -5.00 standing, you can then travel to Minmatar space and start working the Data Center Agents.
If your Gallente Faction isn't above -5.00 standing after completing the Minmatar Data Center 'Graduation Certificate' Agents, then complete some of the Minmatar Data Center 'Tag' Agents until Gallente Faction is above -5.00 standing, then go complete the Gallente Data Center 'Cert' Agents.
After following the steps I listed above, both Gallente and Minmatar Factions should be above -5.00 standing. If you're uncertain about anything, please don't hesitate to ask.
May you have good luck and much success.

Tub Chil wrote:Thanks for detailed answer
My Minmatar standing is better than -5, so I'm going to try that
Tub Chil,
Make sure you train up Diplomacy skill and Social skill first. Diplomacy will raise you current negative standings thus making Gallente Faction closer to -5.00 standing. Social will increase the amount of standing gained for completing missions which will make it quicker to get Gallente Faction above -5.00 standing.
After training up those two skills, then work the Minmatar Data Center 'Cert' Agents and if needed, the Data Center 'Tag' Agents until Gallente Faction gets raised above -5.00 standing, then you'll be able to enter Gallente space and work their Data Center 'Cert' Agents. After completing those Agents, you'll have created some standing buffer which gives you some breathing room.
All of the Agents listed in 'The Plan' give Faction Standing increase. Some of them can only be completed once in the life of the character. That's why it's important to train up those skills first before working those Event Agents.
Good luck to you.
