Skill: Connections (Social)

Rank 3 - Primary Attribute: Charisma - Secondary Attribute: Intelligence
Skill at interacting with friendly NPCs. 4% Bonus to effective standing towards friendly NPC Corporations.

Requirements

Primary Skill required

• Social Level III

Description

Connections only works on friendly NPCs, that is NPCs that are part of a corporation you have positive standing with.

Don't confuse the Connections skill with Criminal Connections. That one only improves current standing with corporations that are considered criminal by Concord. And then there's the special connections skills such as High Tech Connections, Military Connections, Bureaucratic Connections, DED Connections, Financial Connections, Labor Connections, Political Connections and Trade Connections. All of those give a bonus on loyalty points received as you fly missions for their agents.

Criminal Connections can be bought from NPCs, as can Connections, all of the other connections skills are only obtained from agent offers, for 15k LP.

Tips

• Get Criminal Connections to improve relations with criminal corporations.
• Get Diplomacy to improve standing with unfriendly corporations.
