Ok, I slip into my newb costume: I have an alt and I try to grind standing with the 4 races. Xercodo has a nifty page on his profile webpage with agents of level 1 to 4 for each race, each located within some few jumps of each other. My major problem, is with the darn Caldari, that keeps giving me missions against them Gallente. I can run 10 missions for the Amarr and get none against an empire race, but this one keeps telling me to hit on my alt's fellow citizen (getting schizophrenic there).
So here's the thing, running said mission, will raise my standing with the agent's race and his corp, but it will eat my standing with the Gallente race, though it shouldn't hurt my standing with the Gallente agent corp, amirite? What about storyline missions though? because at some point I found myself with 3 pending storylines, one against Amarr, one against Minmatar and another against Gallente... so much for grinding standing with them heh?
I mostly try that because I want him to get good reprocessing rates and some locator agent + jump-clone access. But how can do that without shooting my own foot with empire's standing so he can at least undock in empire without being the bane of every race?
I had him run the career agents of various noob systems but it's quite a pain to go through those... I get an orca full of ships and cheap mods each time "haiku are easy, But sometimes they don't make sense, Refrigerator." |

You don't need faction standing for reprocessing or locator agents, you only need corp standing for both of those.

Correct, but the reduced refining taxes won't be much use if the cargo hangs in a wreck at the gate because the navies didn't like me. "haiku are easy, But sometimes they don't make sense, Refrigerator." |

Refining / Repro = NPC corp only. You can always pay someone to get it moved. Or just have 1 corporation where you can refine perfectly while all the faction standings are 0.0....
I have an alt that can perfectly refine with both Caldari Navy and Amarr Navy stations, yet has NO faction standing at all cause I reject missions against faction and don't do storylines.
So for refining, you shouldn't even need a faction repair plan system in place.
Locator agents = Only need standings for either the faction OR corporation. So you again can do it without the faction repair plan.
Low sell taxes = See refining.
Jump clone service = again either corp or faction standings matter, so unless you want a very long grind and then be able to make JC in all faction stations I would focus on NPC corp standings.
tl:dr = stop to look at faction standings. Run NPC corp missions and look at NPC corporation standings. All you are trying to do is ALL possible jsut by NPC corporation standings. You can do all of them without ever changing your faction standings.

Ok, there's something I don't get, I'm not worried of the security status, but I have acquired a rather negative standing with Gallente and Minmatars through missioning for Amarr before I moved to w-space, with the social skills I managed to keep it over -5 but I would rather avoid that with my alt, so what am I missing here? vocabulary mishap?

For characters that just refine, I just decline player faction missions and all storyline missions. This yields NPC corp standing, and no faction standing. |

I necro my own thread... After some standing grinding with a Gallente corp (I had -3.27 modified by diplomacy, -5.08 unmodified) I've raised standing with the corp to 1.44 raw (2.47 modified with connections). I thought it might be going a bit faster when running L2s or L3s, but I'm still stuck with L1s because my standing with the faction is quite terrible. Ain't I supposed to have access to L2s after reaching 1.0 standing? "haiku are easy, But sometimes they don't make sense, Refrigerator." |

Yes, you should have access.

There must have been something wrong, but I had a look at the Faction Standing Repair Plan and worked up my standing with them minnies and gallenteens back to positive. Had to run the career agents 3 times, a bit tedious but extremely efficient. "haiku are easy, But sometimes they don't make sense, Refrigerator." |

You can only have level 2 access when:
You have a 1.0 standings to the NPC corp or faction
AND
The faction isn't below -2.0
So having a Gallente corporation with a standings of 1.44 isn't giving you Level 2's when your Gallente Faction standings are still under -2.00 Old look Corporation recruitment thread Corporation Website |

I totally overlooked that part, that's why the damn thing didn't want to work... Now I've recovered enough anyway, but I totally missed that tiny bit. *bows* "haiku are easy, But sometimes they don't make sense, Refrigerator." |

Isn't this why we live on the NCQA, to give answers to what we know and learn from others what we don't know (yet). Old look Corporation recruitment thread Corporation Website |

1. You can redo the level 1 SoE epic quest once every 3(2?) months, the Blood-stained stars. In a cheap T1 drone frigate you can pick up for almost nothing in the region with T2 drones, you can spin through the whole thing in something like 6 hours, gaining some minor but decent rep with all 4 factions. The final reward is a nice, big bump to a single empire faction. Because of the way rep gain works, this big bump is best spent on a standing that's really low anyhow, to maximize the gain.
2. Certain NPC corporations are more likely to have missions against another empire faction than others. For instance, within Gallente, the Federal Intelligence Office offers primarily anti-pirate missions and the Federal Navy offers primarily anti-Caldari missions. Basically, try a different corp within your Caldari umbrella to see if you're just really unlucky or actually missing something.
3. Career agent repeatables have already been mentioned. |

And that's why at my college all the professors say: Never use Wiki as a source of information. Cause it's user made and not 100% reliable.
And why should I update it...I believe there is a whole ISD department just for the Wiki. Let them do stuff they should do... Old look Corporation recruitment thread Corporation Website |
