Hi, I recently got the standings to start running angel missions but I was wondering about the LP rewards.

But I got a bit confused about what gives what. Training Security Connections is a no-brainer. but:

I got this formula from the wiki but was wondering what skill to train: connections or criminal connections. I already know that for standings increase you train the criminal connections skill for standings with the pirate corporations. But for the LP payout I don't know.

Actual LP Reward = Base LP Reward x (1 + (0.05 x (Level of Connection Skill 1 + Level of Connection Skill 2)))

In this formula, is it the normal connections skill or the criminal connections skill for pirate factions?

TL;DR - you only need to train the security connections skill.

Long answer: that equation is no longer accurate. It used to be the case that there were lots of agent divisions (20 or so, IIRC), with each division's LP payouts being affected by two separate connections skills. Then CCP consolidated them all, leaving only the three divisions and three [whatever] Connections skills there are at present. To compensate for halving the number of skills that affected each division's LP payouts, they doubled the impact of those skills. The correct current form of that equation is:

Actual LP Reward = Base LP Reward x (1 + (0.10 x (Level of appropriate Connection Skill)))

Connections and Criminal Connections basically do the same thing, one is for Empire and the other is for Pirate.

Connections skill will raise your current positive standings with Empire. (4% per level)
Criminal Connections skill will raise your current positive standings with Pirate. (4% per level)

Diplomacy skill will raise your current negative standings with all. (4% per level)

Social skill will increase the amount of standings gained for completing missions with all. (5% per level)

Negotiation skill will increase mission reward and agent effective standing with all. (5% per level)

Fast Talk skill increases amount of Security Status gained for killing single most highest bounty Pirate NPC every 20 minutes. (5% per level)


Three different skills increase amount of Loyalty Points gained for completing missions per specific Agent Division.
Security Connections (10% per level)
Distribution Connections (10% per level)
Mining Connections (10% per level)
