((level-1) * 2.0) + (quality * 5.0)/100.0
Your effective standing is your standing number, modified by any appropriate skills. The appropriate skills are Connections, Criminal Connections, and Diplomacy, each of which will give you a 4% bonus per skill level if they are appropriate. See below for info about added a bonus % to a standing number. Connections kicks in if your npc corp->char standing is positive. Criminal Connections kicks in if the agent is a criminal. Diplomacy kicks in if your npc corp->char standing is negative. These skills do not stack
Yes I read that, and I thought it meant, if my personal standing from a corp (ie, NPC Corp view to Robomonkey) was 1.43, after I trained the skill to level one, i'd have 1.83.
But thats not it.

I read Papa Smurf's reply as meaning that connections only applies when you are gaining standing. I don't see how it flatly "modifies" your current standings in any absolute way.
Of course I may be wrong.

 Quote:
When standings are being modified by X%, it's not X% of your current value, it's X% of the distance left to max out. So if f.ex. you have 2.0 in standing, a 10% increase is not 0.2 which would take you to 2.2. It's 10% of (10.0 - 2.0), or 0.8, which would take you to 2.8. What this means is that the higher your standing number, the slower it grows. A 9.9 standing is thus unbelievably much better than a 9.8 standing, when compared to f.ex. the diff between 0.0 and 0.1.
so if you have 0 standings (or maybe 0.0001 since it has to be positive to count) connections adds 0.4/level , if you have 5.0 standings it adds 0.2/level etc

Does the 0.4 or 0.2 show up in your standings tab in the UI? Or do you have to factor it in manually...
and like, wow, connections is a good skill..

Arrrgghh, this is doing my head in.
Does that explain why I can use some agents that are NOT available to me in the agent list?

Probably. I know a *FEW* people want to really bog everyone down with the EXACT numbers, but in actual practice, just using .4/level works. Kind of like a "Rule of Thumb". When we start looking at level 4 and level 5 agents, that will probably change. But with the lower numbers we are dealing with today...just keep it simple.
