Missions & Complexes

Yeah, that's true on both accounts.

Now about player driven content, you could say I'm doing the same thing with 'The Plan'.

I am a player who's generating content for other players, right?



All kidding aside, thanks for posting that info.




DMC

Thanks, that's a nice analogy. Not sure how close it is to reality but I'll take it.





DMC

Well, it's the thought that counts.

Thanks again, fly smart and stay safe.

Maadai Ansa,

That's excellent and thanks for posting.

It's always good to hear about 'The Plan' helping players repair their Faction standings quickly and easily. I hope you have continued good luck and much success in the future.

Zaxix,

Thanks for posting that info.

Yes, the Epic Arcs will indeed raise Faction standings quite high over time which is why I included them in 'The Plan'.

However, some of the Epic Arc missions do incur negative Faction standing hits for aggression and ship kill which you forgot to include in your calculations. Albeit they're small negative standing hits but they do add up over time.

Disregarding those small negative standing hits, it seems your calculations are based on a starting point of neutral standings towards all Factions. This is great for some characters but most characters have negative standings with various Empire Factions..

Also I'd like to point out that the Epic Arcs only give positive standing increase to the 4 main Empire Factions. There are actually 8 different Factions that control high security solar systems.

The main reason for working 'The Plan' is to repair negative Faction standings quickly and easily. Most players are looking to access high level agents or just want the ability to travel freely throughout high security systems without being attacked by Faction Navy NPC's. The added bonus from working 'The Plan' is that over time it will enable players to have high positive standings with all Empire Factions.

As such 'The Plan' is still the fastest and easiest way to repair negative Faction standings as well as boost positive Faction standings.

Thanks again for posting and please keep me informed of any alternate ways to gain high Faction standings. I'm always open to changing or adding more options to 'The Plan' whenever possible.

Zaxix,

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I totally agree that the Epic Arcs are an excellent source to gain positive Faction standing and as I said before is exactly the reason they are included in 'The Plan'.. Also I always encourage and advise players to use the level 1 Sister's Of Eve Epic Arc to help raise and or balance lop-sided Faction standings.

Now I'm not arguing or downing your alternate plan or the calculations you've done (I hate doing math). I'm sure it'll work and can be very useful, especially for a Trade / Industrial alt character. Just gonna be a long road consisting of declining all Empire encounter missions along with accepting NO storyline missions whatsoever.

And yes, after 2 1/2 years the character should be able to anchor a POS (1 man corp) in systems belonging to 4 of the 8 high sec Factions (Amarr, Caldari, Gallente, Minmatar).


By the way, the 8th Faction controlling high sec systems : The Interbus


Now if that same character works 'The Plan' within the same time period of 2 1/2 years, that character should be able to anchor a POS (1 man corp) in systems belonging to 6 of the 8 high sec Factions (Amarr, Caldari, Gallente, Minmatar, Khanid, Ammatar).

Of course 'The Plan' entails doing a lot more than just running the Epic Arcs so yeah, it requires more work from the character.

Currently there's no Starbase Charter available from Concord or The Interbus to allow POS anchoring, but knowing CCP that is subject to change at any time.

Anyway, thank you again for posting that information and I wish you lot's of luck.

Zillu Ban,

I must say I like talking with corp members and helping out whenever I can. It's easy to get caught up in their excitement and youthful enthusiasm for this game.



But more importantly I especially like hearing how 'The Plan' is helping or has helped the members of this community. Hope you continue to have good luck and much success.

Thanks for posting.

Hello DMC


I have some questions!


Today I have this standings:

Servant Sisters of EVE 7.66
Mordu's Legion Command 5.29
Caldari State 4.72
Khanid Kingdom 4.46
Ammatar Mandate 3.02
Gallente Federation -0.48
Amarr Empire -1.34
Minmatar Republic -0,92



I Just did the SOE newbie arc and increased the minmatar standing.

I can Keep doing SOE distribution level 2 missions, 16+ storyline, till I get the gallente and minmatar increased.

But then, what is the next step?

I really want to avoid the SAW problem. Any suggestions?

MY goal is to have a +5 or +7 with the main amarr, caldari, gallente and minmatar factions, OK, will take some years, but is a goal! :)

One thing to note on "The Plan", if you are going to do the COSMOS missions to increase standings it would be very worthwhile to try and do them all at the same time and flip-flop back and forth between them. This should give you the best return on increasing faction standings.

A question about the TAGs AGENTs


Are these a ONE TIME thing?

Or Can i give tags to them, every 3 months too?
