Talk:Standings mechanics

Things that NPC corp standings affect:

- I've done a little testing and it seems that even characters without faction standings might be taken into account now with an assumed value of 0. If anyone else could verify this.

- can affect whether that corp's agents talk to you (along with agent and race standings).

- affects the effective quality of the mission.

- affects the "tax" that is paid when processing and reprocessing (its not called "tax" in the game, though. Its the "we take" column in the processing window).

- possibly affects tax in buy and sell orders, but I could be wrong. I need to check that...

1. I've been looking around on and off for a few days now, and I can't seem to find a list of the effects changing one's standing towards another player (or vice versa) actually has.

If someone who knows what this does could possibly try to get it added to the page, that would be extremely helpful.

2. It needs to be clearer whether storyline missions are the ONLY way to change faction standings for the 4 empires. This article seems to suggest so, but everything I've heard suggests contrary to this statement.
