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.
