I’m working to boost / fix my standings with the Intaki Syndicate, and am looking for some tips.
My Social skills are maxed out, which gives me the following standings:
- The Syndicate (Faction) : -1.82 (base -4.77)
- Intaki Bank : +5.89 (base +4.86)
- Intaki Commerce : +2.29 (base +0.36)
- Intaki Space Police : +7.54 (base +6.93)
- Intaki Syndicate : +2.01 (base +0.02)
I’m currently working my way through the Gallente L4 Epic Arc, “Syndication”, and am aware that I will be coming up against some Syndicate NPCs along the way.
I’ve read the EVE-Survival guide, and I notice that for some missions where Syndicate NPCs do need to be destroyed, it specifies that there is no standings penalty, but for other missions this is not clarified.
I did see that destroying some Syndicate structures (to help blitz later missions) will incur a -3% standing hit, so I’ll not be doing that.
I’ll also be choosing the pro-Syndicate option at the end of the arc for the +12.5% (base +10%) standings boost, and also have a Basic Glamourex Booster ready for an extra 15% lift when the time comes.
So I have two questions:
- Will my standings be impacted by shooting the Syndicate NPC ships (but not structures) throughout the arc?
- Are there any other recommended routes to boost my standings with The Syndicate that’s quicker than an endless grind for storyline missions?
