If you enjoy agent running, or hunt NPC, or do any kind of fun PVE activity in EVE, your faction standings are changing.
Eventually you'll get to the point, that doing one more mission will drop your standings to some empire faction less than -5, and you will have some issues flying in a vast part of empire space. In case of hunting NPC on belts in 0.0, you'll end up with almost no chance to switch to 0.0 agents, if you may ever want it to do.

Proposal:
Every faction should have a kind of a temporary pass-card to their territory in their LP stores (like starbase charters) costs some LP and some ISK (we need more ISK sinks, right?).
When you use that pass-card, you'll temporary rise your standings to that faction for a 24 hours, after that your standings are dropped to the previous level.

The amount of standing to rise is a topic to discuss, it can also depend on a price of a pass-card.

Not supported. Creating a new mechanic for the sole purpose of undermining an existing mechanic that's working as intended. It took time for you to ruin your standings, it will take time to repair it. Actions and consequences.

My standings are fine, but I gather random noob training fleets in empire, to roam somewhere and learn to shoot something. Lot's of players ruin their standings when they are noobs, and don't really know what the cons are, or when they live in 0.0 NPC space for too long. They just need a short indulgence for an event, before they return to their homes and to the stuff they used to do.

Look at it this way - if you ruined your security status, you will need several days to rise it back. If you ruined your standings, you will need a half of the year to shoot same 10 missions over and over again. Is it a good and fun thing to do?

EVE needs the opposite of what your asking for, standings that actually mean something. Have real benefits and consequences and can't easily be changed.

You're doing it wrong then. There are many other ways to fix your standings that aren't just grinding lvl 4s for half a year.

What this guy said. You're a wanted mass murderer to some of these factions, why should they forget about that for just a little bit of isk?
