Missions & Complexes

Thanks! This guide is really helpful.

+1 rep well earned I think.

Dear DeMichael Crimson,

Firstly thank you that you made a great topic.

I am an Amarr Militia member at this moment, and my Gallente standing is -5,59 (with lvl4 diplomacy skill).

I want to switch Gallente Militia in a short time period, in this situation what is your suggestion to repair Gallente standing?

Do I need to drop militia first?

Thanks for your helping.

Reposting my appreciation of 'the plan' on these new forums.

Not very long ago I was very unpopular with the amarr and caldari, and decided I wanted to run their lvl4 epic arcs. After about a week of very, very slow lvl1 mission grinding I discovered 'the plan'.

Adopting the approach outlined I made more inroads into my amarr standings in one session than I had the previous week. Now I have positive standings with all non-pirate factions, and I'm going to take great care to not let any of them bounce below -2 again.

Thanks DMC, 'the plan' was a fantastic discovery that saved me from interminable boring lvl1 missions and gave me a much greater understanding of faction-standings options.

Based on your experience, how would you suggest best fully bringing both Faction & NPC Corporate standings to the Gurista/Sansha/Blood Raider block to -10.00 (while avoiding any drastic swings involving other entities)?

Completing Missions in Amarr space? Amarr Epic arc? Belt ratting in low/null? Declining pirate faction L1's until -10.00 is accrued due to mission failure penalty?

At this point I've managed Faction: Guristas -10.00, Sansha -9.99, Blood Raiders -9.99. Unfortunately, npc corp standings while taking incurred -'s for ship kills still hover around +1.xx for their pirate faction corps.

Yes, I'm actively aiming for (negative) -10.00 with the Guristas, Sansha and Blood Raiders both Faction & Corporate. I have absolutely zero desire to ever repair any of them. The Factional standings seem to have dropped nicely, if anything the NPC corporate standings seem to be taking quite a while in contrast.

Thank you for your insight!

Good to have this guide. Thanx

Kaeoz, thanks for posting.



I hope 'The Plan' helps you as much as it's helped me.





george harries,

there is definitely something wrong if you're being attacked by the Minmatar Faction NPC Navy with a standing of -4.40.



Your Gallente Faction standing won't affect travel in Minmatar space. You should be able to enter Minmatar space and work the 'Plan' without being attacked unless you belong to the Amarr or Caldari Militia doing Factional Warfare.

Since you don't belong to the Militia, you might wanna try this. Get a Rookie ship or shuttle and 'test the waters' by entering Minmatar space. As long as the Faction is above -5.00 standing, you should be able to travel safely. If you get attacked and see the message again, file a petition in-game.


I hope this helps

EDIT:
I believe some terminology needs to be clarified.


Empire space = All high security systems.

Above -5.00 Faction standing (-4.99 up to +10.00 Faction standing) will allow safe travel in Empire space.

At -5.00 and lower Faction standing (-5.00 down to -10.00 Faction standing) will cause Faction Navy NPC's to attack after entering Empire space.

At -2.00 and lower Faction standing (-2.00 down to -10.00 Faction standing) can only access Level 1 Agents.

For the data center missions. There are three different sites in each faction's space. Inside these sites there are two different types of missions. Each data center has one courier mission that gives you a Graduation Certificate, which one is the third one depends on the order that you do them (since there are three sites each with one Cert mission), but it doesn't matter what order they're done in.

The other type of mission is the tag missions, where the agent asks you to bring X tags of a given type. It's recommended to have the tags beforehand since it could take months of ratting to get all the tags you need for all the missions. If you already have the tags, you just complete the mission 2 seconds after you accept it.

So, there is one 1-3j courier mission at each site and then tag missions from the rest of the agents there, no other types of missions.

Barrak,

mxzf (Thanks for the help ) is correct. The info he posted should be listed on the Evelopedia Data Center page.

It doesn't really matter if you go see the agent listed on the 'Cert' after completing the first Data Center 'Cert' mission. The reasons I said to complete all 3 'Cert' missions (1 at each Data Center) before doing that is:

1) The 3 'Cert' missions can be completed rather quickly to gain some quick Faction standing increase before seeing the agent listed on the 'Cert'.

2) The agent listed on the 'Cert' will give a 5 part mission series and while doing that mission series, will meet another Event Agent that gives a 3 part mission series. The 3 part mission series needs to be completed before the 5 part mission series can be completed. These 2 mission series will take some time to complete compared to the other missions.

3) Players might forget about the other 2 Data Center 'Cert' missions after completing missions for the agent listed on the 'Cert'. Also that specific agent is listed on all 3 'Certs' and will only offer the 5 part mission series once.

I created this thread for questions pertaining to 'The Plan' so that everyone can have access to the info. The idea of creating a chat channel for 'The Plan' is good but not really feasible due to the possibility of certain questions being asked multiple times and more than likely the channel itself would probably not be very active for long lengths of time.

Anyway, I hope your questions have been answered and everything clarified. Good luck and much success to you.
