You can be banned from highsec without having a low security rating though. If your faction rating with any one faction goes below -3, you cant go into a 1.0 under their soverignety. I'm not sure if it steps down like the security status banning system though, i just know that if i run a fuckton of agent missions for say caldari, who i already have a +1.5ish standing, my gallente standings go down because they're enemies... Unfortunately, i have a -0.07 with gallente because of my caldari agents, so i can only use lvl1 gallente agents... Of which of course, there are none nearby.
I am flabberghasted at the number of people in newbie corps (like, 2-3 days old) coming through our space, and they say some agent is sending them there. It seems backwards...

probably got within tracking of his guns. which is why you use missiles on it. besides, with the new tanking changes you can get a mad tank running on it. I need to get on the test server to test ideas, but from what i saw large shield extender 2s only take 165 power instead of 440 for +2100 shields. So i can fit a few without problems. A med extender II gives +840 and the grid usage is going down to 28PG or so. Hippo can probably toss it on his hawk and easily get 2000 shields on the thing. Only tradeoff is sig radius increase which makes you easier to hit, but i don't think that is a drastic incrase that would make an assault frig look like a battlecruiser or something.

AFAIK, you only take faction standing hits or get faction standing increases from doing storyline missions, or missions for the Command agents you find outside starter stations.
