Standings?

Hi all,

A little confusion on the standing system here. So, in high-sec, I would power-level my standings by fleeting up with an established mission runner (my alt) and share agent standing increases. This would boost my standings to 5.0 with that agent fairly rapidly so that I could get my own mission from that agent.

Fast forward to now, I am trying to do the same thing in null for Serpentis corporation. The only thing is that now, even though I'm already at 2.0 with the agent in question, my faction standing is -7.6. When I try to grab missions from this guy, it says my effective standing is -7.6. It looks like faction standing is trumping agent standing.

If this is the case, fine, but then why was I able to boost my standings as described above?

In the first example, you were getting shared standings for being in fleet with your main character who already had standings for access..

Yes, Faction standing trumps Corporation and Agent standing. To access agents above level 1, the Faction needs to be above -2.00 standing along with the required amount of Corporation / Agent standing.

Yes, but I'm doing the same thing as well. I'm fleeting up with someone who already has standings for access. Are you saying that if my faction standings were -8 instead of 0.0 or so, then my first example would have turned out differently?

So if I have 5.0 standings with the agent and -2.0 standings with the faction, I'll be able to grab missions from this agent?

If your faction standings are below -2 you can only use L1 agents.

Soon as you hit -1.9 you will be able to use the corp standings. As in jump to L4's with the same group if you already have 5.0 with the corp.

Also, you can't share faction standings. So piggy backing onto someone's missions won't help increase your faction standings.

No, as said before, you were fleeted with another character who already had the required amount of standings for access. Now for you to access agents above level 1, you need to get the Faction above -2.00 standing.

Faction trumps Corporation which trumps Agent. If any of those fall to -2.00 or lower, then no access to high level agent.

Even after gaining +5.00 standing with high level Agent due to being fleeted, you still won't be able to access that Agent with -2.00 Faction standing. Now if you raise the Faction to -1.99 standing, then you'll be able to access that high level Agent.

Hopefully you understand. Since this subject is more about repairing Faction Standings, I'm gonna post 'The Plan' and recommend the section = Pirate Standings.
Good luck to you.
