What other repeatable ways are there for me to get my amarr standing up ?
Because at the moment I'm grinding level 1s to get my amarr status to -1.9 because I want to do the Amarr epic arc. I've done all the non-repeatable standing boosts, they weren't enough. I'm doing combat missions because I know I couldn't stand grinding mining, trade or courier missions.
I don't want to tank my Minmatar standing, so I want to decline any mission against Minmatar. Which runs into the 4 hour gap. |

It occours to me that every other game I've seen with similar standing mechanics has you gaining standings when you kill a ship/NPC belonging to an enemy of that faction. If Eve did the same, but with the standing gain for killing an enemy ship being much smaller than the standing loss from killing a ship of that faction, players who run missions for ages wouldn't find a large standings grind sitting between them and the content they want to do when they get sick of missions. Though it would remove the scenario of a player running missions for one faction, while located in an enemy factions space, suddenly finding out that they have reached shoot on sight with the local NPCs, which is a change I'm not sure about.
I'd probably set the exact values so that a character with 5 in Diplomacy and Social who runs every mission offered to them will hover around the -1.9, letting their corp/agent standings determine who they can run missions for.

Technically repeatable. But that would mean me waiting for 6 months, without doing anything to drop my amarr standing, before I can do the amarr epic arc. So not really a viable option.
The Data Center missions are mostly missions where you hand in pirate tags (you can loot these in missions and buy them on the market). Basically, it allows you to convert isk into standing. Remember, you can talk to each agent only once! The Data Centers can be found in:
Not repeatable.

An alt means paying for two accounts, as I'd need the alt and my main to be in the same fleet to share the standing boost and mission locations.
Quote:Run L1 missions in a station that has a storyline agent in the same station or at least same system?
That's what I'm currently doing. It works, up until I get given multiple missions against minmatar in quick succession. Yesterday it was 4 of them within a single hour.
So I'm left with having to accept the standing loss from killing Minmatar NPCs, on top of the Gal/Minmatar standing loss for doing Amarr storyline missions. |
