Yesterday I took an escort mission for Axia at Dau. I was at +50. Mission accomplished with message "Axia standing slightly increased". But it was still at +50.
So I took a bulk mission for Axia at the same place. "Axia Standing significantly increased" message. But still +50.
*sigh*

For me, the standings page in the station only updates if I leave/enter the station after doing the mission.

Yea, your standing will not show an increase in chainfo until after you leave the station again.

Cujo, slime, think about it for a moment.
If piglamamonkey took a bulk transport mish, that means piglamamonkey exited a station atleast twice.

No it doesn't. The moth and Taur can handle some bulk missions with only one trip if procured early enough. Besides which, you only get a standing increase upon the COMPLETION of the mission, therefore, until you exit the station again AFTER finishing the mission, the charinfo screen won't show the increase (it only updates in flight)

Ive had the same problem:
Axia standing increased slightly, but no increase in the stats.

It can't have been the exit-station requirement mentioned above, because the not-increase persisted between logins.

hmm, that's wierd. I'll check it out, and hopefully a dev'll look into this.

Slightly means a small amount.
The internal numbers go from 0 to 65535 but the client displays them as -1000 to +1000.
So if you gain 1 faction, you won't see your number increase. In fact, your faction would have to change by up to 32 to guarantee a visible change.

The 'exit station upon mission completion' still holds true. I've verified it on numerous occasions.

Had a similar episode this morning with one of my low level characters.
Completed the mission and got 'Significantly Increased' but actually got nothing, nada, diddly squat. Did however at the same time get the trade licence increased to level 4 which did allow me to buy stuff that requires level 4 without undocking. Tried undocking and redocking a couple of times but still no faction increase :(

You did get the increase, but your client wasn't updated properly, I'm guessing.

while we are talking about this, I have a question. POS is imposible to get to from +999 so you have to get it down to +980 or something. Is this a feature or a bug? From an RP standpoint it makes no sense...you have to lower your standing to get higher. so if im at 65530 and I need 65535 why does it have to be so hard?

It's a bug.

I refuse to think about all the time I've spent trying to get +1000. :S
