I think it's unadjusted standing, though. At least, I only ever got the cruiser and the frigate. Also, way back in the day they didn't have LPs and missions would just give out random junk (trade items, stacks of low end BPOs, actual garbage, whatever) and occasionally you would get an implant or something either from a storyline type mission or from looting certain missions. Later on (still before LPs) missions started giving out tech 2 components - though I think that was before most people had anything they could use them for because there wasn't invention yet.
