Well, I know how it works, but there's a few things I'm unclear about.
If I make an alt corp, move some alts over and let only one of them run missions, then the corp standing towards the NPC corp will eventually equal the standing of the mission runner if I have it right. However, does this apply to faction standing as well?
Also, let's say my alt attains a hefty standing towards NPC corp X and so therefore does my alt corp. Presumably all my alts will now have access to a large number of agents? If so, let's say they start R&D projects with good agents from corp X. Then more characters join the corp, this time with lower standings to the same NPC corp, hence making the corp standing drop below the level required to use said R&D agents. What then? Will the research continue or stop?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

As far as i recall R&D agents work off of personal standings only rather than any accumulated corp standings. As for the first part of your post I believe it applies to faction standing also.

This will NOT be the case as your corp's standings towards the NPC corp is based off of the AVERAGE of the standing from each individual member of the the corp..... Therefore your idea works fine for a corp of 1 person, but as soon as u add in a 2nd member the corporate standing toward the NPC corp will be lowered.
This is how things work as far as I am aware.

True - I was assuming that the alts concerned where fresh and had run no missions prior to joining the corp.

Yes indeed, fresh alts with no standings at all was what I meant.
Ok then, so the mechanics also applies to faction, not just corp standings. Then once the faction standing is sufficiently high, all alts will be able to use agents within that faction right? No just the initial mission runner?
And how about if they acquire agents and more people join the corp later, making the corp standing drop? If your standing suddenly drops, will established research still continue?

Yes but as soon as the alts start to run missions they will be counted into the factoring of corp standings (as if they are at 0 they are ignored iirc) and then the faction standing will start to drop.

I believe so, as you have to have relevant personal standings to the R&D corp to start using a research agent - not 100% sure but don't believe corp standing drop would matter

Agent availability including R&D agents is only affected by your personal standings with that agent, corp, faction. What your corps standing with them is does not matter. So if your corp has a standing of 8.0 to a faction/corp and a noob/alt with no standings joins he will not have access to any of their lvl 3/4 agents. He will only have access to the agents his personal standings allow.
Corp standings only determine if you can anchor a POS in 0.4+ space and maybe still jumpclones.
It would be rather impractical to base agent availability on your corps standing with a faction because if for example your corp has a standing of 8.0 with the caldari state becasue you have a standing of 8.0 with them and no other member has any standing with them and then one of those members does a small storyline and gets a 0.5 standing with the caldari state then your corp standing would drop to 4.25 removing access to high lvl 4 agents.

Oh well, so much for that plan then....  Thanks for the replies folks, at least I withdraw more enlightened than I came.
