I think I know it correctly, but wanna make it clear.
Two questions.
When I get positive standings from pirate factions, I lose concord standings as a derived modifications.
Pirate epic arc ( Angel, Guristas, and Syndicate/Sansha branches off from empire epic arc missions ) will not cause a derived standing modification, thereby not losing CONCORD standings by achieving them.
No derived standings, yep. However, I think the last mission for the Angel arc is to kill a Concord frigate, so that might cause a standings hit with CONCORD.
Thank you for the answer.
That’s too bad it’d hit with CONCORD standings on mission progress but was good to know it doesn’t cause derived standing changes.
