If it is possible to to raise the standings with Blood Raiders in a reasonable/realistic time

PvE Gameplay Center Missions
1

At the moment, my standings is -4,3 to their parent corporation. As far as I understand, I need to raise it to -2 to start doing Lvl 2, 3, 4 missions.

I tried to raise standing by doing a level 1 missions. For these missions, the standings of their parent corporation are not raised.

They only raise it for a special mission that is given for completing 16 regular missions. And they only raise it by 0.05 points.

According to my calculations, I will need to complete about 600 level 1 missions to raise the standing to -2 to the parent Blood Raiders corporation.

Is there any other method to raise the standing to Blood Raiders in a reasonable amount of time?

Make sure your Social skills for standing increases are all at 5 and have someone run you in their higher level missions, youā€™ll share their standing increases.

I donā€™t know of a Blood Raiders Epic Arc that you can do at negative standings, but you could look there.

Lastly, if they have Distribution agents, do those instead of Security. You can get them done faster for the same standing increases.

Enjoy the slog, repairing faction standings sucks, doubly so for pirate factions with fewer options.

Note, the shared is for the corporation only, not faction. Faction standings are not shared with the blood raider faction at all. Not even with the special 16th mission

If not already done, train Diplomacy skill to Level 5 asapā€¦ Then train up Criminal Connections skillā€¦ Next is Social skill and lastly train up Negotiation skillā€¦

Like @FlyingDisk said, run Distribution missions to get Storyline mission offersā€¦ Distribution missions can be completed rather quicklyā€¦

I have the above skills levelled up to 4, one more point wonā€™t make a difference. Although I can add it.

Security missions at Level 1 are very fast (on Proteus). However, 500-600 missions will take a significant amount of time.

Blood Raiders donā€™t have an epic arc. There is an Angel Cartel arc.

So It turns out that there is no way to increase the standing in a more or less reasonable time?

Sure, whatever.

Since you donā€™t want actual answers, Iā€™ll be muting this thread now.

What is your base standing?

Actually it makes a very big differenceā€¦

Diplomacy Level 5 is another 4% decrease to your negative standingsā€¦
Criminal Connections Level 5 is another 4% increase to your standing towards Pirate Agentsā€¦
Social Level 5 is another 5% increase to NPC agent, corporation and faction standing increaseā€¦
Negotiation Level 5 is another 5% increase in pay for completing agent missionsā€¦

So imagine your base is -8.00

At diplomacy 4 your effective is -5.12

Diplomacy 5, your effective is -4.4

-5 base dip @ 4 = -2.6

-5 base dip @ 5 = -2.00

Thank you very much for your answers. It seems I have almost completed the task of increasing the stenting.

My base standing towards their parent corporation was -4,4.

Šfter I did the three points written below, my standing became -2.4. At this point, improving standing through level 1 missions doesnā€™t seem so daunting anymore.

What I did;

  1. All x4 COSMOS missions (which turned out to be very easy, I spent 20 minutes flying)

  2. Level up Criminal Connections to 5

  3. Completing one storyline mission that drops out once every 16 missions

P.S. A thought just occurred to me.
What if, before talking to the COSMOS agents, Iā€™d taken a stimultor that increases my standing bonus when completing missions? Perhaps Iā€™d get more from Trading?

Is that true?

To quickly help raise negative standings, Diplomacy Level 5 should be trained up asapā€¦

Yesā€¦

Basic Glamourex Booster will give a 15% bonus to agent, corporation and faction standing increase.

As a heads up, story mission types give different standing boosts.

The ā€œturn in x oreā€ missions give barely anything.

The ā€œhaul this cargoā€ give a middling amount

And the combat story gives the biggest boost.

Story missions are completely random for which one you get, so all that really matters is figuring out how to run as many level 1 missions as quickly as possible.

Distribution mission have a lower payout but are significantly faster to complete than combat missions, if you use the right ship. The Sunesis is good for low level distro missions, can align in 2.5s with the cargo hold expanded to almost 1500m3.
