Hi all. I just wanted to relate a mistake I made so hopefully you can avoid it. I have been playing for about 6 weeks and I realized I didn't seem to be making progress towards doing lvl 2 missions. The reason is that I hadn't trained the connections skill which improves your standing with friendly agents. If you are having trouble getting better missions this could be the reason. Good luck out there!

Connections moves you closer to +10 standing by 4% per level when your standing is > 0 with non-pirate factions. It is _very_ effective when your standing is low, and much less so when your standing is already high.
With only 0.1 standing:
Connections 1: 0.1 + (10 - 0.1) * (1 * 0.04) = 0.496 Connections 2: 0.1 + (10 - 0.1) * (2 * 0.04) = 0.892 Connections 3: 0.1 + (10 - 0.1) * (3 * 0.04) = 1.288 Connections 4: 0.1 + (10 - 0.1) * (4 * 0.04) = 1.684 Connections 5: 0.1 + (10 - 0.1) * (5 * 0.04) = 2.080
Social increases the rate of all standing gains by 5% per level.
Diplomacy does the same as Connections when your standing is < 0 with non-pirate factions. Criminal Connections is the same as Connections, but for pirate factions.

But don't forget to train the 'survival' skills before you jump from level 1 to Level 3.

Yes, definitely get connections, it really cuts down the number of level 1's and 2's you have to do en route to level 3's and 4's. Even once you get further in the game and have a level 4 agent..its really nice for when you need to grind a different faction and start the process over in some new corp.
So even though it slows down as you get higher in a particular corp, considering you will eventually want several corps set or high level missions, the time savings really add up.

I trained Connections just a few weeks ago, didn't even know about it until recently. I'm still new so I'm playing around with different things.
Now that my Connections (and also one of the Connections skill from the LP store) is at level 3 I find many more agents and the standings have increase much more than it did before.
