the calculations in the tip-section are way off... someone should add them correctly instead of mindnumbingly adding some arbitrary numbers and a questionable efficiency factor.

comparing the first two entries for example:

- supporting Arbiters of Hexis and The Perrin Sequence equally results in leveling 4 syndicates at the exact same speed. (e.g. 100 total points gained by 50 for Arbiters of Hexis and The Perrin Sequence results in 25 points for said four syndicates). No points are wasted since you do not need to gain Standing for a partiular Syndicate to level up others.

concerning the second entry there is zero reason to support The Perrin Sequence (only results in major loss with Steel Meridian). Should be 66.66% red veil and 33.33% New Loka instead but that's another point.

- supporting The Perrin Sequence, New Loka both with 12,5% each and Red Veil with 75% results in a huge waste of points for Red Veil (e.g. 100 total points gained by 12,5 for the other two and 75 for Red Veil will result in 18,75 points for said three syndicates and 75 for Red Veil).

Chosing the second option and trying to get a desired amount of Standing for Steel Meridian will require a 4 times greater effort with Red Veil or in other words you will have to level Red Veil to maximum 3 times on top of it already being max level. (e.g. assuming the required amount of Standing for a single Syndicate is 1 million it would require 4 million Standing with Red Veil plus an additional 666667 for each of the other two equaling to 5,33 million)

Chosing the first option demands 4 million so it's neither a waste nor a gain (compared to 4*1million if you disregard reputational influences)

Yet that shiny efficiency factor somehow rates the second option as almost better and the desirable way to do it.
