Hello all,
This is my third in a series of ideas I would like brought before CCP at the Reykjavik meeting. This one focuses on the majority of us who have dropped our faction standings to the point where it's all but impossible to run missions for certain factions, even pirate factions.
Once a player goes below -2.0 standing with a faction (including skills), he becomes unable to work for said faction at all. What I wish to see is a new series of skills to help the player out with the factions in question.
Each empire faction will have their own skill, called something like "Gallente Rapport" or something similar. These skills will have a rank of 4, and will each be targeted to one specific faction, with a primary attribute of Charisma and a secondary attribute of Willpower. Each boost will give the player a bonus .4 standing per level with the chosen faction.
By using these skills, you can thereby increase your standing to a more reasonable level, allowing you to work with factions that were previously banned to you. The pirate factions may also have a secondary skill, but they already have Criminal Connections so it's unknown what boost they should have. I leave the rest of this idea to be fleshed out by the players and CCP.
This will allow players to, with decent skill training, run missions and slowly rebuild their standings towards factions which more or less hate them. It will also give slightly more purpose to the Charisma attribute. Constructive criticism is always welcomed.

This is not true. I hade a -4.99 towards Minmitar, and by running missions missions with a friend (his agent), I increased it back to -1.5. At which point I had enough standing towards that Minnie NPC corp that I could use their LVL4 Q20 agents, and do the rest myself if needed.
What I did IS the way to do it, this game we love is an MMO, what you propose just encourages more solo play.
TL;DR = NO --

You might have had a negative standing to the corporation, but it is impossible to raise faction standing by sharing in missions. This is an old problem, and unless they changed it without telling anybody, is still a problem.

Sounds unbalanced to me. Easily exploitable - why work missions for a faction (work and time) if you can just get the skill and train it (ISK and time)?
On the other hand.......
A concept of bribes to faction officials sounds more realistic.

Isnt that bad tbh. Could be a fairly expensive LP book. Only those already loyal to the faction then can sell it.
I dont see why ALL the factions cant have this? Including mordus; and such.
Furthermore it should be a strong enough force.
If say you run missions for Amarr. Your standings with gallente will be -2.0 max. With current skills you can still run for them. Minnie will be -5.0 max. You cant run with them unless u have diplo 5 which is annoying.
Now if you did a few missions against gallente or minnie because u didnt know better. I sure didnt know better until much later. Doesnt hurt though.
Now you have others who do loads of these kill missions against gallente and get -8 or something standing. Those people should be more or less irreversible; unless they find some other faction to fight for to recover standings. ------------------------ To make a megathron from scratch, you must first invent the eve universe. ------------------------ Life sucks and then you get podded. |

OR you could pay attention to the mission you accept and not do the ones against a faction... --------
