- remove all standing gain w/o mission.

example the current [killing bots in monitored space]

Missions should be the only way to increase any standing in game. worked and recorded for the nation.

- all missions should give any standing points.

[would be better if this missions give accomplishment : medals*...

Spy mission
Border patrol
Asassinaton

*medals is a sign of your career/specialist]

I'm not so sure about the first point, because then people who can't dock at a faction's stations will have no way to increase their standing with that faction.

However, I totally agree with the second point. Even with the new trading guild missions, I think that there should definitely be other ways to increase standing with factions - they could at least add some basic standing reward to the prospecting, spy, etc missions.

Yeah, I think currently we are lookin for more ways to increase faction standing, not removing any of the few that there currently are.

well you could make it so that botting has only got an effect untill neutral faction status, after that they don't really care if you kill another bot in monitored space?

Nya's suggestion would be fine if the faction system was more relational (as opposed to the current "linear" system). Then you could improve your standing with a specific faction by doing missions for its friends. For example, if you did a mission for TPG you'd gain +20 faction with TPG but also +6 faction with UIT.

It would be really nice to get a secondary faction increase for friend factions like Nya/wylfing said, and Renegades idea of cutting the increase after neutral is also good. Perhaps at neutral you get small amounts of faction (1-10) for killing queens only in that nation/faciton space. Of course faction increase is always faster with missions.
