Faction Standing Tweaks

New with 1. 2:

• []Updated to support Chaos Reign DLC/Patch.[/]

  Mission Faction Standing Reward/Penalty Delta

  This ties the positive and negative adjustments (deltas) for procedurally generated missions directly to the difficulty of the mission. The rewards/penalties range from +2/-2 (for the lowest difficulty missions) to +8/-8 (for the highest difficulty missions). All positive/negative value adjustments are symmetric negations of one another. The rationale behind this modification is that easier missions are of lesser importance to the employer and target factions, so they do not influence the opinion of factions of the player as much as harder (likely more important) missions do. No more +2/-8 for taking missions in lower reputation clusters!

  Enable/Disable via the SyncStandingDelta variable. Enabled by default (True). Set to False to disable.

  Disable Negative Faction Standing Adjustments

  This removes the penalty (negative standing delta) for mission target factions. When enabled, the target adjustment will always be zero for procedurally generated missions. This will override SyncStandingDelta.

  Enable/Disable via the DisableNegativeDelta variable. Disabled by default (False). Set to True to enable.

  Faction Standings Erosion

  The player's standing for each faction will erode over time by slowly reverting towards zero. This is done by subtracting a small amount from FS where the player has favored status and adding to FS where the player is viewed negatively. The concept behind this gameplay mechanic is that positive/negative sentiments towards a player will fade over time. This attempts to implement the spirit of the axioms "What have you done for me lately" / "Time heals all wounds". Negative sentiments tend to linger longer, so the default erosion value for negative standing is less than that of positive.

  The adjustment amounts are controlled via the ErosionPositiveSub (defaults to 3) and ErosionNegativeAdd (defaults to 2) variables. Set to zero to disable one or both.

  The variable ErosionInterval controls the number of months that pass between erosion events. A setting of one is every month, a setting of two is once every two months, etc. Defaults to 2.

  ErosionPositiveMin and ErosionNegativeMin set minimum FS amounts that the erosion processing will preserve. By default, these are set to +19/-19, which are the smallest amounts for Respected/Suspicious standing status. Erosion will not
