The standings mechanics of declining missions more than once every four hours don't work quite like this.

Declining a mission drops your standing with the agent most, then the corporation and the faction least.

Then derived modification drops the faction standing of every faction that faction has positive standings towards.

So if you "use faction standings" you will eventually screw up your standings - if you do storylines to repair it you'll just end up being hated by the opposing factions.

There's a "Standings" tab in the spreadsheet that lists the impact to my corp and faction standings. Losing 0.0112% in faction standings is pretty trivial since a single War Materials storyline was a 2.0766% increase. Corp standings didn't really matter since accepted missions outweighed the declined ones.

I was averaging about 4m 48s per mission (including travel time), so 16 missions would take you ~77 minutes. Thus if you eventually do manage run down your faction standings, it shouldn't take long to repair them with the opposing faction(s).


This assumes faction standings are something people want to have. Many missioners want no faction standings at all. It's been a while since I declined more than one mission per 3 hrs, but if I remember correctly, the hit to agent standings is significant. Whether you have faction or corp standings that are good, once the agent goes negative, you're screwed with that agent. Again, it's been awhile, so I'm not sure if you make it up significantly on the accepted missions or if it just slows the decline. Either way, it's probably not the best idea for someone with low standings, and is therefore probably inadvisable to new mission runners. Perhaps you could reverify for us!
