Same principle as tags for security standings.

Exchange tags and fix your negative faction standings from -10.0 to 0.0.

Have gotten positive feedback from other players and ccp at fanfest for the last 3 years, but no updates.

Fixing this: http://i.imgur.com/6wg7Vdz.png is a bit difficult <.>

What are NPC standings good for any more? Missions, you clearly don't care about those, I'm lost as to why you need this any more.

Do you mean stop doing pve? Because those standings are from shooting npc's.

I may have dabbled in FW missions for all four empires at various points in my eve career. Really ****** me in the long term haha :D

I support this , ile all previous topics on this.
You need to just give enough enemy faction tags , and thats it.

"You killed our men , but you just proved yourself by killing , or paying someone to kill 150.000 of enemy crew members"

-1

Not because I think the general idea is bad, because your idea would stop at 0 standing.
ALL current tags for anything can be used by anyone to improve standing no matter what their current level is and to get my support any new tags for standing mechanic must be available to ALL players as well.

Why should you be able to go from a -10 to 0 using tags because it is easier, and I have to go from 0 to +10 the old fashioned hard grind way?

At first I thought this was a suggestion to turn in tags to immediately get negative faction standings. I laughed heartily at the idea and loved it. Then I saw it was to fix negative standings. That is so mundane.

No, I want it to be insane. I want faction tags to turn in that make the faction hate me. I turn in these tags, and all of the sudden, the customs officers are giving me the stink eye, and faction patrols are always outside my station undock waiting to "stop and frisk" me. I want tags that cause NPC's to up my market order taxes at random, and for Concord itself to occasionally put bounty on me. I want faction police to "accidentally" bump me around on the undock and laugh at me in local. And sometimes, I want to be flying between gates only to be suddenly pulled into an NPC warp disruption bubble, where the FacPo immediately descend upon my ship, put a tire boot (warp engine boot?) on it, and force me to eject into my capsule and go to the nearest NPC station to pay some sudden influx of parking tickets I never knew I had.

Because tags for security status work this way,
they're only getting you out of the whole, not elevating you further.

The mechanic is a dinosaur and you know that very well. EvE is supposed to be about player driven relationships, not a dating sim between you and a few mutually exclusive factions. PvE isn't really a choice - if you are going to make it your bread and butter income, you have to do what's available locally, or have alts, and in the former case this may mean doing things less than optimally. This is tedium that needs to be removed.

If it is then why do you care about NPC standings? I have no real problems on Rivr with neither of the Empire factions. Whenever my Minmatar standing falls below -5, I run a couple of L1 missions for Gallente, do the story line and I am back in the greens. And on my Pirate faction mission runner, I do not need certain empire faction standings to begin with. I do not see any tedium.

I also do not see why this "tedium" should go away. You run missions and gather standings for one faction and their ally. This faction, however, is at war (or at least a war-like state) with another faction and their ally. It is only natural that you lose standings with the latter while you gain standings with the former. This is completely logical. Removing that removes the entire point of the war between the factions.
If you cannot consider that and act accordingly if you want to keep accessible standings with all four empires, I must question your mental fortitude. And by extension your lack of competence should not be the base line from which mechanics should be adjusted.

Then again, you are in CFC. Coincidentally, everything seems to be a "tedium" for people who join CFC. So, your argument is as valid as your other alliance mate's about making a secluded newbie system, cut of from the rest of the universe in the Sol system.

Having said this, however, I could agree on certain missions in Low sec or NPC Null sec from a more "independent NPC faction" giving you a bigger standing boost than normal storylines towards one of the factions. This eases the repair of standings a bit, but still requires you to work to rectify your past mistakes and blatant inconsideration. Tags, however, are a thing that I will never agree with. But as CCP is so heavily invested to get more of these loathsome easy-mode gamers into the game, my concerns are probably being ignored anyways.
