Choices should have consequences, but in a dark universe such as EVE deciding to turn traitor to your faction really should be an option. Especially given that most of the pirate factions members likely originate from their opposing empire faction.
I agree with this sentiment. Buying your way with ISK I don't like, but some betrayal mechanic should exist to show the pirates you're really with them.
Again, though, choices have consequences. This should do something like turn the +8 Caldari standings to -8, or something equally as drastic. If you're going to betray your faction, they won't like you. The pirates will also require that you've not run missions for their enemy or shot at any other their ships for at least a month. (How are they going to trust you if you're still shooting them down?) A negative sec rating could also be required, also to prove you are really a pirate. Something that will get you shot down if you go into high sec systems (at least 0.7 and above).
There could be some ISK, as a bribe to the agent, but the above faction effects would be more worthwhile, as those standings take time. You could have more challenges (to prove your worth), such as taking on fleets of empire navy ships in a mission in low sec.
But not a simple payout and cool off. If you really want those pirate standings, you can't be working for the empire any more. Also, you should know that the empire won't take you back, probably ever. Pirates betray people. Caldari, or your race, won't trust you again after you've betrayed them, though.

I agree with these proposals. Who cares if you have to pay isk to bribe your way to neutral standing? That isk leaves the game and its actually RP appropriate.

Loads of good ideas in this thread and easy to implement too, should be a no brainer for the CSM to bring this up.

Its were u get your bounties for right? its were u get your lp's for right? Its why u earn 45m p/h right?
No penalties for farming tons of isk in the safety of empire? If CCP implement this im going to quit eve with my 5 accounts.
Not supported WOW --> way
I support this guy quitting and going back to wow.
Also, i like the standings idea. Kind of bites that you can permanently ruin your opportunity to mission for pirate factions when the rest of the game is so open ended.
I think there should be some "grind", or at least a time frame (once per year?) built in. Shouldnt be something the rich can do at will.

Sisters of Pirate EVE
Corrupt agents with minus 40 quality or whatever would work with -5 and below.
Just some special agent with no standing requirement but whose missions are likely to give heavy standing hits for empire factions.
Not a big fan of the 'just pay ISK' idea, but whatever.
If missions are going to be the way CCP wants everyone to make ISK, they need to throw the 0.0 factions a bone on this. |

The one billion ISK for a complete reset of standings would work well. I could see that as paying one of the pirate agents to hack the Concord database and reset the standings of the person. Obviously, the agent would not want to do it that often for fear of being caught in the hack, so the once per six-month period would make sense.
I also like the idea of smuggling items to reset faction standings. It would give people a reason to buy stuff from the faction stores or market, then remove them from play to increase standings. Obviously, the standings boost would have to make it worth the cost of the LP, but not insanely high.
Either way, something does need to be done. I support this thread.
