A while ago I realised my Amarr faction was getting a little low and even with all the relevant diplomacy skills maxed out my effective standing was slightly worse than -3.5. So I set about repairing my Amarr faction by travelling over 25 jumps to their noobie areas and whisked through the training missions at all three locations. So my faction has now improved to -1.0 and so I travel back to Heimatar whereupon my first mission is to go kill some more Amarr!

Why are my agents so keen on giving me these missions? Short of declining the mission and hoping the next one has me go kill Angels is there something I can do to minimise the likelyhood of these missions cropping up? Could I move somewhere other than Heimatar to solve the problem? I really don't want to spend half my time repairing faction all the time.

Basically no matter the faction you will get mission against the opposite faction. You basically have a few choices:

1) Alternate running missions with either faction, and have a so so rep with both.

2) Find a spot where you can have 3 lvl4 agents within a couple of jumps, and reject any missions against the other faction. This will require you grind out another corp or 2 to be able to do lvl 4's.

3) Resign yourself to paying out a lot for tags, and the like every so often.

Also note that merely gaining faction with one side will lower you with the other.

I came to the conclusion years ago that you have to basically select one side or the other: Caldari/Amarr or Gallente/Minnie. If you choose Gallente/Minnie, feel free to run SoE. If not, you'll kill your Amarr standing. But whatever. Probably moving to Minnie space soon because I just enjoy it more than Amarr (boring) and Caldari (too crowded).

How can one-shotting cruisers @ 80km be boring?
