Introduction
I had done a lot of missions for Thukker Mix Corp when I noticed that my Faction Standings with Gallente, Caldari, Amarr and Ammatar had dropped drastically. After doing some research I came up with this 'Plan'. I also noticed quite a few players have posted in the Forums asking 'How to raise Faction Standings' and/or 'Is it possible to have positive Standings with all of the main Factions'? The answer is this 'Plan' and while writing this post I decided to include as much information as I could. Please excuse me if it gets a little off-track.
While working this 'Plan', talk to all the agents and if it's a one part mission that doesn't say storyline and have a good reward, then decline it. Usually the multi part missions are storyline. Always read the Agent mission briefing first and get the mission item before accepting whenever possible. Most of the Cosmos mission items can be bought from contracts if needed. Don't be afraid or ashamed to ask for help. Some of the Cosmos missions as well as the rewards have been changed a little but most of the information is still good in these links.
If anyone has any related or more current guide links, please post them and I'll be sure to update/edit this 'Plan'. Also need walk-thru guide links for all Caldari Cosmos missions and the level 4 Amarr Cosmos missions.
I hope you understand this plan and if started, should be continued until completed so as not to lose any Faction gains you have achieved. When you start doing regular missions again, decline all encounter missions that are against the main Factions. You can do a set of missions (16 + storyline) for each Faction to maintain the standings. Copy, paste and bookmark these links into external computer (Out of game) browser for future reference. Thank you and I wish you all good luck.
= Low Security Status
You need to be able to enter 1.0 High Security Systems to work this 'Plan'. http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Security_status#Security_Status_and_Traveling_Restrictions
Train this skill - Fast Talk
You will have to do some ratting (Kill NPC Pirates) either in Asteroid Belts, DED Deadspace Complexes or Exploration Sites ('Unknown' Cosmic Signatures and/or Cosmic Anomalys). The goal here is to increase your Security Status quickly so you'll want to go after the higher level NPC Pirates (Rats).
http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Belt_rat_spawns http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Ratting_tactics (Based on 0.0 Security Systems, Low Security Systems will have about half as many NPC's in the spawn) http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Deadspace#How_do_I_Find_a_System_with_a_Deadspace_Complex.3F http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Category:Complexes
http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Exploration_guide http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Apocrypha_probing http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Category:Exploration (Can check gates to 'Unknown' sites while in pod to see ship class allowed)
Once your Security Status is above -2.00 you can now start working the 'Faction Standing Repair Plan' which will be posted next.

Also, much of the information in the op is well-known, perhaps you could have saved yourself some time and just posted this (hopefully decent) plan by itself?

Faction Standing Repair Plan
Social, Diplomacy, Connections, Negotiation. (Train these skills to max level as soon as possible)
REMEMBER - All of these agent's missions can only be done once for Faction Standing boost. Do not fail, quit or let these mission offers expire.
Pick the highest unfriendly Faction that you have standing with and do all of the Tutorial/Career Agent missions for that Faction.
http://www.eve-wiki.net/index.php?title=Tutorial_Agents
After completing all 15 Tutorial Agent missions and all 15 Career Agent missions, now do the Circle Agent missions.
http://www.eve-wiki.net/index.php?title=Circle_Agents
After completing all the circle Agent missions, now do the level 1 Data Center Agent 'Cert' missions. After you have completed the 3rd 'Cert' mission, take one of the certs to the agent listed on the certificate. That agent will give you a multi part storyline mission in which you will meet another storyline agent. After completing all those missions, turn in tags to complete the rest of the level 1 Data Center Agent missions.
http://www.eve-wiki.net/index.php?title=Data_Centers
After completing all the level 1 Data Center Agent missions, now do the level 1 Cosmos Agent missions.
http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/COSMOS_constellation (List of Cosmos Agent locations)
http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Amarr_Cosmos_%28Guide%29 (Amarr Cosmos walk-thru guide)
http://www.eve-odessa.com/guides/en/cosmos.html (Minmatar/Gallente Cosmos walk-thru guide)
After completing all the level 1 Cosmos Agent missions, go do all of the above agent missions for that factions ally.
-Allied Factions- Amarr and Caldari Gallente and Minmatar
By now you should have completed all Tutorial, Career, Circle, level 1 Data Center and level 1 Cosmos Agent missions for both unfriendly factions. Now go back to the faction you started with and continue with the level 2 Data Center Agents and the level 2 Cosmos Agents. Then do the same with it's allied faction.
REMEMBER - Always check the standings with all the main factions after completing a set of agents.
You should notice a big difference in the standings now and can continue with the Data Center Agents and the level 3 Cosmos Agents. You might have to stop half way through one factions set of agents and 'Bounce' over to another faction. The faction standings will do a 'sea saw' while working this 'Plan'. You'll have to watch your standings and bounce back and forth between each faction until all are up and you have completed all of the agent missions.
At some point while working this 'Plan' you might not be able to access the next level agent. Don't worry, the answer to that will be posted next.

Faction Standing Repair Plan = Stuck - Can't access next level of agent
While doing this 'Plan', you might get stuck and won't be able to access or continue to the next level of Data Center Agents or Cosmos Agents. If this happens you will have to do some regular NPC Corporation missions (16 + storyline) until you have gained the required Faction or Corporation standing to continue with this 'Plan'.
REMEMBER - Always decline all encounter missions that are against any of the main Factions (Amarr, Caldari,Gallente, Minmatar)
My advice is to do missions for the highest level/quality agent available to you in the Divisions that give a lot of Courier missions because these can be done very quickly. The goal here is to get back to working the 'Plan' asap.
Agent Divisions http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Agent#Agent_Missions (The 100% Courier mission type Divisions in this link is inaccurate, you will also be offered a small % of the other mission types as well)
You can either do missions for the Data Center Agent NPC Corporations or the faction's RnD Corporations which would help you gain access to Research Agents as well.
http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Research_agent (This has list of all R&D Corporations in each Faction)
Since Cosmos Agents like to send you into Low Security Systems, I decided to include 'Staying Safe' as the last part of the 'Plan' to be posted next.

Edited by: DeMichael Crimson on 04/02/2010 06:34:54 Faction Standing Repair Plan = Staying safe - Low and Null Security Systems
Some of the Cosmos Missions as well as Expeditions gained from exploration sites will send you into or through Low Security Systems (0.4 to 0.1) and/or Null Security Systems (0.0). My advice is to use a ship that allows a Covert Ops cloak module to be fitted and make safe spots.
http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Rookie_Lowsec_Survival_Guide http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Safe_spot http://www.eve-wiki.net/index.php?title=Traveling_in_Low_Security (Old guide but has some good tips)
(My Advice) For Low/Null Security travel, set up an overview tab with planets, stations and gates showing. This will enable you to select and click very fast without a lot of searching.
If just passing through a Low Security System, your ship will have gate cloak for about 30 seconds after you enter the system. Click on the next gate and select 'Warp to 0km' and then activate the Covert Ops cloak IMMEDIATELY. With high skill level and a good ship fit, you should be going into warp about the time the gate cloak wears off and in less than one second the Covert Ops cloak is on. Watch the cloak module cycle and warp speed indicator. When the ship comes out of warp and the green flashing cycle on the cloak module stops you'll be at the gate, click jump in the 'selected item' box IMMEDIATELY (You'll be cloaked from view while doing the jump).
For a Courier mission to a station in a Low Security System, after entering the system and still cloaked by the gate, click on the station and select 'Warp to 100km' and activate the Covert Ops cloak IMMEDIATELY. When you arrive at the station, stay cloaked, click the 'Look' option on the station and locate which side is the exit for the station. Maneuver your ship (still cloaked) so that it's on the exit side while keeping distance/range from it. Get in line with the exit point of the station at the same elevation (Use the Tactical Screen to get ship aligned) and proceed in a straight line away from it. Do this until the station is anywhere from 500km to 1000km away and then make a Bookmark for your Insta-Undock safe spot. Click the dock option for the station and turn off the Covert Ops cloak while in warp to the station. (If still cloaked the ship will not Auto dock and then you'll have to click dock again after the cloak wears off) For leaving the station, as soon as space shows (After the black screen/session change), IMMEDIATELY right click in space for your Insta-Undock bookmark and select 'Warp to 0'. Your ship should almost instantly go into warp. Activate the Covert Ops cloak while in warp so you'll be cloaked and hidden from scan/view when you arrive at the Insta-Undock bookmark.
REMEMBER - Never warp from gate to gate when in Null (0.0) Security Systems. Warp Disruption Fields (Warp Bubbles) are usually set up in line between and/or around/near gates. Warp to a planet or star first and then warp to 70km to 100km to the next gate and check to make sure no Bubbles are set up. If Warp Bubbles are set up near the gate, maneuver your ship so that it has a clear path to the gate. You can continue going towards the gate at subwarp speed while cloaked or proceed straight away from the gate until the gate is about 200km away. You should then be able to 'warp to 0' without getting caught in the Warp Bubbles. After jumping through a gate and you see Warp Bubbles near you, look for a planet, star or asteroid belt icon that doesn't have the bubbles between your ship and them. Select one and warp to 100km and activate the Covert Ops cloak IMMEDIATELY. If the situation goes from bad to worse and you see a lot of Warp Bubbles and players in the system, just set up a safe spot and Log Out. Just be sure to activate cloak when you log back in

The guide is pretty nice, but I have a question.
As far as I know, doing the storyline tanks the opposite factions standings in any case (is this true? To me it looks so), so you seem going one step ahead and at least 1 backwards? - Auditing and consulting

More like one step forward half a step back.
Edit: To the OP, you missed doing the Sisters of Eve Epic Arc.

It starts off as one step forwards and half a step back, but as your standings with a pair of opposing factions get higher, the step forward gets smaller and any steps back get bigger.
Eventually you will reach the point where they all balance out. Your standing with (say) Gallente gets so high that any forward gain is small and your (say) Caldari standing is also so high that any backward steps are now big enough that they balance out.

EVE standing mechanics
any faction standing gain is followed by appropriate loss. loss is always lower than gain, expressed in percents. gain is calculated as percentile reduction of difference between +10.00 and current standing. loss is calculated as percentile reduction between -10.00 and current standing.
example 1: faction A 0.00 faction B 0.00
if character gains 10% increase to faction A this will be +1.00 effective standing. also, there will be accompanying loss of 5% to faction B, which means -0.50. as can be seen, one can alternate between factions to improve both. however, there is a break point eventually.
example 2: faction A 3.33 faction B 3.33
same 10% increase to faction A will be +0.67 increase to effective standing. loss of 5% to faction B will be -0.67 reduction. as Fairhand said, "step forward gets smaller and any steps back get bigger".
note that there will always be factions that will inevitably tank, as opposing factions can have common enemy. even if only courier missions are performed, keeping empire faction positive, will tank pirate factions, as well as some other.
to keep all options open, most optimal solution would be to never do any action that modify faction standing, and always have someone else do the "dirty work".

Thank you all for your input and information. This 'Faction Standing Repair Plan' is exactly what the title says it is. A way to repair bad standings with unfriendly Factions while also keeping the friendly Faction Standings at a positive level.
The reason I didn't include the Epic Arc missions is that they are rather long and the purpose of this plan is to increase the Faction Standings as quickly as possible. After the 'Plan' is completed, you should be able to do the Epic Arc missions. You might have to do a little bit more grinding of regular missions + storyline for the different Factions but your standings should be very close to gain access to those Agents.
As I said in an earlier post, I currently have about 2/3rds of this plan completed and when I finish, I'll be sure to post the results with all of the main Factions.

Let me emphasize once again that this no longer holds true. Completing epic arc missions provide you with a great standing gain (+12.0) with no derived gains or losses. ---------------- Mr. Science & Trade Institute

Yeah, that was just a list of what I HAD already completed before I started working the 'Plan'
When I started working the 'Plan', I trained Social to lv 5, and Connections to lv 4.
I'll post an update of my standings as well as completed Data Center and Cosmos agent missions next time I log on.

Im currently repairing Amarr faction standings, I did the Sisters arc and chose the Amarr commander at the end for the Dagan kill. I received an 8.75% gain in standings which translated to -5.3 up to -4.01, both figures after diplomacy V.
I had previously done several hundred Ammatar lvl 1 missions (for the derived standings which strangely enough are more than direct lvl 1 Amarr missions, and with no standing loss to Gallente or Minmatar) with painfully slow progress, something like -5.9 to -5.3.
I now plan to rerun the 50 arc missions every 3 months to fine tune all 4 faction standings without penalizing any.

All level 1 quality 0 and lower agents are available to everyone now. Train Diplomacy and work the Caldari agents listed in the 'Plan'. After you have completed those, you should be able to bounce over to Amarr.
The 'Plan' will work. Just follow it and you shouldn't have any problems.

Thanks, will start with that then. :)
@Poster above me; Your standing with Minmatar will probably be between 0 and -5 so you can start doing missions with them. Doing missions for the 'allies' of Gallente will bring your standing with Gallente up.

First, Do not accept any more encounter missions against any of the main factions. Second, Train the Diplomacy skill. Also train Social skill.
Hopefully Gallente is the lowest 'Unfriendly' Faction Standing you have. If so, then Minmatar should be the highest 'Unfriendly' Faction Standing. Gallente is allied with Minmatar. If Minmatar is above -5.00, then start working the 'Plan' with Minmatar until you can enter Gallente space.
I hope this answers your question.

Yes it does. Though via sheer persistence I've been running these tutorial agent missions with n00b ships and I've lost more then a few but have been slowly knocking out these agent's missions.

Faction Standings Ammatar = -4.89 Amarr = -2.76 Caldari = -0.28 Gallente = +0.25 Minmatar = +7.63 Thukker = +6.87
Pirate Tags Minmatar = Angel Copper, Bronze and Silver. Gallente = Serpentis Copper, Bronze.
Agent type Minmatar = All Tutorial, Career, Circle, 1/2 of level 3 and all lower Cosmos Agents. Gallente = All Level 2 and lower Cosmos Agents.
This is an update on my current statistics from working the 'Plan'.
Skills Social = level 5 Connections = level 4 Diplomacy = level 4 Negotiation = level 4
Data Center (Tags completed) Minmatar = Angel Palladium and lower Gallente = Serpentis Silver and lower Caldari = Guristas Crystal and lower - need Brass Amarr = Blood Crystal and lower - need Gold Ammatar = Sansha Crystal and lower - need Gold
Agent type completed Main Factions = All Tutorial, Career and Circle Agents Caldari = 1/2 of level 3 and all lower Cosmos Agents Amarr = All level 3 and lower Cosmos Agents Minmatar = 1/2 of level 3 and all lower Cosmos Agents Gallente = All level 2 and lower Cosmos Agents
Faction Standings Caldari = +6.30 Ammatar = +5.19 Amarr = +5.08 Minmatar = +3.06 Gallente = +1.95
I will be doing a bit of mission grinding for the Gallente Data Center Agent Corporation (Federation Navy) until I have Corp or Faction Standing of +3.00 for access to the Gallente Data Center Agent (Lv2/Q20) and complete the 'Brass' Tag mission. Then I'll do a bit more mission grinding until I have Corp or Faction Standing of +4.00 for access to Gallente Data Center Agent (Lv3/Q0) and complete the 'Palladium' Tag mission. By then I should have access to the Gallente Cosmos Lv 3 Agents.
While working the Level 3 Cosmos Agents for Gallente, I'll check my standings and will probably have to 'bounce' to Caldari Level 3 Cosmos Agents and then 'bounce' to Minmatar Level 3 Cosmos Agents until I have completed all of them.
I'll be sure to keep you all informed of my statistics while I'm working this 'Faction Standing Repair Plan'.

DMC, a couple questions:
1) How long (# of missions & time) did it take to bring standing up your latest standings? 2) Did you run courier missions mostly? 3) Do combat missions give better standing than couriers?

Originally by: GoldenBears DMC, a couple questions:
1) How long (# of missions & time) did it take to bring standing up your latest standings? 2) Did you run courier missions mostly? 3) Do combat missions give better standing than couriers?
1) Well, I started working this 'Plan' about 2 months ago. All the agents - Tutorial, Career, Circle, Data Center and Cosmos - give Faction Standing Boost.
2) The Missions I got from those agents equal out to about half courier and half combat.
3) If grinding for Corporation standings, the Combat missions will give you higher standings faster.
This has a couple of problems though, you'll get offered a few encounter missions against one of the other main Factions which should be declined. The idea is to raise Faction Standings with the least amount of negative standing hit incurred. The encounter missions also take longer to complete than the courier missions. If going for Storyline missions to raise Faction standing then the courier missions is faster.
For about a week now I've been doing regular mission grinding for Gallente Data Center Corporation (Federation Navy) to get the required Corp standing to access the next level of Data Center Agents for Faction Standing boost. I've been doing combat missions for Agents in the corps Command Division. I've had to turn down several regular missions as well as 3 Storyline missions since they were against one of the other main Factions. This is fast for Corp standing but slow for Faction standing. As soon as I have +4.00 Gallente Faction Standing, I'll be able to start working the level 3 Cosmos Agents.
I now have +5.61 with Federation Navy and have accessed a few of the Data Center Agents for Gallente. I'll continue grinding missions for that corp until I have the required corp standing to access the last two Gallente Data Center Agents (+6.00 and +7.00). Hopefully then the Gallente Faction Standing will be high enough to start doing the Gallente level 3 Cosmos Agents (+4.00).
My current statistics.
Skills Social = level 5 Connections = level 4 Diplomacy = level 4 Negotiation = level 4
Data Center (Tags completed) Minmatar = Angel Palladium and lower Gallente = Serpentis Crystal and lower - need Brass & Gold Caldari = Guristas Crystal and lower - need Brass Amarr = Blood Crystal and lower - need Gold Ammatar = Sansha Crystal and lower - need Gold
Agent type completed Main Factions = All Tutorial, Career and Circle Agents Caldari = 1/2 of level 3 and all lower Cosmos Agents Amarr = All level 3 and lower Cosmos Agents Minmatar = 1/2 of level 3 and all lower Cosmos Agents Gallente = All level 2 and lower Cosmos Agents
Faction Standings Caldari = +5.91 Amarr = +4.93 Ammatar = +4.92 Minmatar = +3.39 Gallente = +2.43
The reason for doing Gallente is because Caldari is really high and Gallente is really low. I haven't done any of the level 3 Gallente Cosmos Agent missions yet and I still have half of the Caldari Cosmos Agents left to complete. I can take Caldari Faction Standing down to just above +4.00 and still be able to access those agents.
As I said before, I'll have to keep watch on my standings and 'Bounce' between Gallente, Caldari and Minmatar until all of the level 3 Cosmos Agents are completed.
I'm sorta 'stuck' right now since I decided to finish all of the Amarr level 3 Cosmos Agents instead of doing the 'Bounce'. I had decided it was easier to bring Gallente and Minmatar back up and didn't want to chance not being able to access Amarr again. Besides, Caldari will help bring Amarr up while doing the rest of the Caldari level 3 Cosmos Agents.
I'll post my statistics again after I get back to working the main part of this 'Faction Standing Repair Plan'.
