Currently you can use tags to recover faction standings for empire factions, but not pirate factions. This becomes a bit of a problem when you decide to move from doing missions in hisec to living in npc null to play other parts of the game only to realize youre stuck doing leel 1 missions until the end of time to get a few hundred story lines until you can do anything else. While regular missions will alert you that 'hey this will result in negative standing hits towards empire faction here' you don't get that message against pirate factions leading many players to go deep into the negative without even realizing it.

I know there are epic arcs for pirates to recover standing but I still feel there should be a system in place for at the very least getting standings high enough that you aren't stuck running level 1 missions for storylines for weeks on end just to access the other missions. The 'tags4sec' style of getting standings ust to bearable levels for going around and doing content seemed like a god way to provide more options to players who aren't even made aware they may be locking themselves out of parts of the game since you don't get any 'this mission will lower your standing with pirate faction' notice.

CCP SnowedIn said I should totally post this idea at Vegas so here it is. He also said 'Im not a dev and everything I say is bullshit.' So grain of slat for that I guess. Anyway best of luck to him with all the APi stuff it seemed really exciting.

Standings should just be fired into the sun and replaced. +1 I guess, the endless L1s or hanging around for someone to be bored enough to run solo content with you is a terrible bit of design tbh.
