I found out why my standings were decreasing:
the mission "Soft Drink Wars".
I get a standings decrease with the Minmatar Republic if I kill the merceneries that guard the anti-minmatar thief.
Even the mission description is talking about "helping our [gallante] friends. The mission cannot be completed without killing the merceneries.
I've done the mission twice now, second time to make sure that the mission is indeed the cause, and if there was any way to avoid killing the merc. IMO, there is not.
Conclusion: mission is bugged and should be avoided.

Minmatar Cosmos
I thought it might be smart to run the Minmatar Cosmos missions now before my standings are totally shot to hell. I'm Caldari, and have run a couple of missions where the minnie's where the target. Current standings is -2.46, corrected too -0.97 with diplomacy. Corp standings is just above 0, so they'll talk to me, be it with attitude.
My interest in the missions are the BPC's. I have a science alt and he's going to build the BPC's, either for use or sale.
Step one: fly there (Ani constellation) I flew down/bought one Enyo, one Drake and one Catalyst.
Step two: get the mission info ready using google. The Amarr cosmos missions are pretty well documenten, the minnie are not. There are a couple of good links though, I'll post them later on.
Step three: Get going.
After reading the missions, it turns out most of the missions require you to get things from "open" complexes in the constallation. So without accepting any mission, I took the drake and started "farming" the plexes. Once I had what I wanted, I flew 4 missions, some of which where multi part ones.
Once the local lvl 1 agents had been done, I thought Id try a lvl 2 one. Well forget that. "You require a 2.0 standign with agent, corp or faction." My standings with the minmatar had increased by a shocking 0.02% since starting the minnie missions. Joy...
So, i decided to do it another way. I looked up other, regular agent for the corporation the cosmos agents where working for. I could use the lvl 1 Q -7 agent. I did 4 missions, all very rapidly. Checking standings increase with the minmatar.... -0.8%! Seems I killed a Minmatar Republic mercenary somewhere along the lines.
That's it so far. Ill continue doing the lvl 1 missions 'til i get a storyline, and if that doesn't give me nice boost, Ill just head back home and start killing minnies just for the hell of it.

And so it starts
I'll use this space to enter anything Eve related that is worth saving. Let's see where it goes from here.
