Wanna set up a POS...Standings question

I'm researching putting up a POS in a 0.5 system. I know I need to have faction standings. I am wondering about buying standings via pirate Tags.

I know the Data Center Agents are a one time only mission offering for standings increases.

Can I return to these agents multiple times with purchased Tags and get standings or will they accept tags from me only once?

If its only once, are there any other ways to turn in tags in other places for help with standings?

I never did those missions myself but :

From EvE wiki :

Event Agents located at Data Centers offer a one time agent mission that will give Faction standing for a number of pirate tags.

Thanks for the reply. I know its a single mission... I also know I can bypass the mission by purchasing tags and turning them in for the same standings. I am wondering if I can turn in tags more then once for more standings or is it only a one time thing like the mission.

You answered your question before you even asked it. "one time only" means exactly that - "one time only"

Not really. I was looking at it as a 2 part situation. 2 different actions. Part 1 - Perform the mission. Part 2 - receive the standings with turn in of tags.

Wasnt sure if turning in the tags triggered the mission complete (without actually performing the mission) therefore denying me further access. I was simply curious if I could turn in tags more then once. I couldn't find any information about what I wanted to do.

Thanks for the answers folks.

Much appreciated

The mission is to turn in the tags.

The mission itself might be only a one-time completion, but you can buy the tags off market and go to reps to turn in. I've done it before.

The mission *IS* turning in the tags. Nothing to bypass whatsoever. Also, yes, you can only do one agent per faction once.

There are other ways to get faction standing up:
1) Join FW
2) Do the Circle Missions
3) Do Storyline missions
4) Do COSMOS missions
5) Do the tutorial agent missions (three agent sets per faction)

If you read the Faction Repair Plan it will tell you all the ways to get a faction standing up.

also it will be cheaper to buy a custom made corp with the required standings as the tag missions get fairly expensive and fast if you buy off the market

The mission is in fact "Get and turn in these tags". Nothing more. No method is dictated or provided for obtaining the tags. The mission is the only way to turn in tags. And as stated, once per agent.
