Nice video. You forgot to include a few other Agent types that also give Faction standing increase. There’s a small group of level 1 Agents called Circle Agents. Each of the 4 main Factions have these Agents. They’re all chained together with each Agent referring you to the next Agent in the circle. The Circle Agents can be repeated but only 1 of the Agents will give Faction standing increase which is only granted on the first time. Then there’s Data Center Agents located at 3 different locations for each of the 4 main Factions. The Data Center Agents are from level 1 to level 4, they all grant Faction standing increase in exchange for Pirate Dog Tags. Basically those are trade missions and can only be completed once. Finding the Pirate Dog Tags takes time so it’s best to just buy them from the Market or Public Contracts.
