Yeah I did years ago when I first started playing this game. I was told that Tech 1 Frigates couldn’t do level 3 security missions so I maxed out every skill pertaining to my Rifter as well as the fit and was able to complete level 3 missions within the time bonus.
Also back then the general consensus was that players had to pick a side to be positive with, either Amarr & Caldari or Gallente & Minmatar. Well I didn’t accept that and after 3 months of research I created ‘The Plan’ and shared it with the Eve Community which enabled players to become positive with all Empire Factions.
I was then told that standings couldn’t get over +5.00 with the main Empire Factions which was incorrect. I have positive standing with 13 of 20 Factions (Pirate Factions are negative) and the 4 main Empire Factions are just shy of +8.00 standing.
Yeah, felt good to accomplish that. My next goal is to hopefully gain positive standings with all Factions.
