I've basically written a guide to standings for my corpies....
a base -5.000 with diplo 5 will get you right at effective -2.00 but is -2.00 when they stop talking to you or the very very last chance they will talk to you? That part I dont know.
if you still cant run gallante directly, run missions with faction they like.
run a bunch of courier missions (16 to be exact) with a faction who Gallante likes, trigger storyline missions, then get derived faction standing with Gallante. Note that Gallante is huge, so standing gains are going to be pretty slow *REGARDLESS* of whether you are running Gallante directly or a friend of Gallante.
Here are some factions Gallante LIKES (different from factions who LIKE Gallante - two different values there)
SSoE - to the tune of +8.0. Run these girls storyline missions and your gallante [and minmatar, at a lesser rate] standing will increase. Note also that Caldari sees them as -0.25, so you wont be losing much standing with Caldari when you complete SSoE SL's.
If you ran Gallante directly, you'd be hurting Caldari standing quite a bit, vs SSoE.
Minmatar Rep sees SSoE a bit lower than Gallante, but you will still be getting standing gains.
Standing gains depends on
1) the size of the faction. you will gain standing slower with huge factions (ie:Caldari State) than with small factions (Mordu). This is true whether you are running that faction's SL's directly or thru derived standings.
2) relationship between factions when you complete storylines (how much + or -). When you complete a storyline, you gain standing with the faction you ran it for. When you look at that factions "LIKED BY" and "DISLIKED BY" factions, you can see how much it will affect those other factions.
So SSoE is how you can get Gallante up without hurting Caldari. You'll also get Minmatar standing as well, but not as much as Gallante, since they are same size, but Gall sees SSoE in higher regards.
But you are on the right track.... high levels of diplomacy help very low standings ALOT:
Eff Standing = Base Standing + ((10-Base Standing)*0.04 * 5 (diplo 5)
at -5 base, you'll get 3.0 points of standing, at -10 base, you'd get 4.0 points. at -1 base, you get only 2.2 points of standing.
note that once your BASE standing hits the 0.0 mark, dipl will no longer apply, your regular Connections skill will now apply, so if Conn skill is lower than Diplo, you'll see your standing DECREASE once base hits 0.0 from negative... a bit of a paradox. just make sure connections is equal or greater than diplo so you wont be confused by this weird situation.
If you want to be proactive, get your standings up with one corp from each faction. That way, even if the faction hates you, you'll have a corp that still likes you and will give you out lvl 3s and lvl 4s. Go courier all the way for regular missions so you can bang out those 16 to trigger SLs (which are the only mission which increases faction rep)
