Zubon: Echoing Harsh, I believe that it’s 1 refusal per 4 hours per agent.

They pay pretty well, especially when you go out to blow up your other friends. Of course, is the 250,000 ISK for a level II mission worth the two -0.8% (or whatever it is) faction hits?

I will learn more about what these contacts have to offer, but I should be able to work around the “blow up Gallente/Minmatar” missions. Also, the gains from my storyline missions are much larger than the derived modifications sinking me elsewhere. It might be nice to eventually be friends with all the empires. The pirates, of course, will stab me in the eyes, but they seem to be shooting at me anyways.

It’s every 4 hours for each contact, so with two in the same area you’d rarely be missionless. I also avoid doing the storyline bonus missions they mail you about out of the blue unless they have a good reward. Those lower the other factions.

I just shoot first and ask questions later… Eve’s all about blowing stuff up anyway…Why worry about what Faction loves you… They dont even send presents :P

A Gallente working for the Caldari State!!! Huh!!! What is this universe coming too!!

Seriously though, the only advice I would tell you would be to choose your sides and work with agents accordingly. My character, Treenara Mazouk is Gallente, and though I used to work within the Gallente Federation, since I joinned PPL, we’ve moved to the Khanid Kingdom and have been working for their agents since then.

Never will I work for the Caldari, though!!!! …unless the pay well. Do they?

I considered going through them all and putting the game name on them somewhere. I’ll do it when I get some free time. Sorry off topic.

BTW, it’d be good if there was some way of knowing what game your banner shots game from … some of them look soooo cool :-) :-)

There are some corps whose missions will have little or no adverse impact on race/faction standings. Sisters of EVE is one. I don’t remember any others but I know I googled it sometime (or maybe it’s in the player’s guide :-).

Of course, this won’t necessarily help you gain standing with those evil Caldari … what’s wrong with a neg.standing with them anyway :-) :-)

I believe it’s one refusal per agent per 4 hours. Alternatively, or as well, have a few agents going at the same time, and if you do decline go use another one for the 4 hours, just in case s/he offers you another bad mission during that period.

Fly safe, hv.
