EVE General Discussion

It takes a week of intensive level 3 mission running to even dent a extremely low faction standing, which is not for the faint of heart or those intolerant to PvE Grinds. And it takes a lot of luck to get decent storyline missions that award good standing boosts (protip: it's not the ones that ask you to bring ore). With a three hour non-stop session you're lucky if you get four storyline missions, which can give you anywhere between 0.8 to 1.7 Faction Standings.

Mr Epeen is probably confusing your issue with the amount of time it takes to unlock Level 4s which really is a couple of days tops. He is so inconsiderate and self-centered at times, am I right?

I've been living with being totally unable to use locator agents for five years because I do any kind of PVE, at all, ever.

Subsequently tags for standings would be pretty helpful.

As a person who maxed over 60 reputations over the course of seven years, I am offended by this remark, which is obviously a product of misconceptions and prejudice. I had to work hard to get some of those reputations maxed.

In EVE, standings are broken as a system. Their gains are based on asymptote equations, the Diplomacy type skills are on a negative logarithmic scale, and their benefits are underwhelming and cryptic. Standing gains on top of that are based on the distance from the Agent's Station and enemies fought. A Mission against an empire facyion offers about 10% less standing if it is done within 3 jumps away of the agent, while the standings loss are fixed ship ship kills go from fixed to entirely random and hurt more than the rate we can repair them. And that's absurd!

Zappity isn't asking for a fix. She's asking for an opt out. That's how bad the current system is, as it is beyond fixing in the short term. The means to produce this opt out exist, are easily available and could be implemented faster than the time it takes CCP to work a Burner Mission. Even make the Datacenter missions repeatable would go a long way.

If you are suggesting something other than the techniques I mentioned in the OP please just say so. Google finds you consistently talking about data centres, COSMOS missions and The Plan more generally, just as I described.

I also looked online and found only the same information already covered.
Now that I've looked into standings, I see how a high faction standing is useful for traders.

OP, maybe talk to a guy called Imiarr Timshae. His standings business does mostly corp standings, but sometimes faction. At least maybe might have ideas for you.

You know, some 6 years ago I suggested a module that can pull wrecks for ya...People called me carebear, go somewhere else blah blah...5 years later we got it :) So, if they keep this speed up, we should get the tags in 2020.

Ah I see what you mean on that one. I have noticed that happening but that 'stuff in the top left' does come back afterwards.

I would be opposed of this idea , would it not have been for the introduction of sec stat tags.I was against the introduction of those , even though i have been -10 multiple times myself and had to do the horrific grinding back up every time.But since we have them , even though i dislike it , i see no reason why these tags you mention should not be introduced.

Either have none of the above tags , wich is what i would have prefered , or just seed both of them wich is the most reallistic thing to do now since CCP introduced the security tags anyway.

It happens when you accept mission with certificate. Other missions are not buggy.
I've placed bug-report about it
