Topic: Standing / Relation impact
First the Facts:
NPC faction is divided in three conglomerates,
each conglomerate is dived into 3 NPC corps (combat, industrial, logistic/intel)
each NPC corp offers assignments to raise your standing with them.
each Combat corp standing unlocks you three tiers of sparks for the factions prefered weapon
each Logistic/intel corp standing unlocks you three tiers of sparks for combat support/defense
each Industrial corp standing unlocks you three tiers of sparks for the factional ore
and only the insdustrial corp standing also grants you points in:
- recycling
- repair
- production
- prototyping
- reverse engineering
- refining
My issue:
a few sparks for min/maxing your build vs. bonus in every industrial facility of that conglomerate.
The later is useless if your owning a gamma outpost wher you get maximum standing by default, and the first ones are more a chore to get then the bonus they provide.
My request:
Combat standing
make it affect at least repair facility, not cummulative with industrial standing but parallel (using the number that is higher)
eventually same for recycling
make it drop syndicate shop token prices for ammo
add more sparks!
eventually unlock outpost buffs
Logistic standing:
make it affect the insurance payout (depending in which terminal you have been)
connect it to market extension like "multiply max orders by standing factor"
add more sparks
affect spark teleport cost
unlock special NPC orders on market like cheaper teleport beacons.
Oh, and i almost forgot:
ADD MORE SPARKS, especially one for Harvesting (3% higher yield + speed up locktime)
