NOTE:This isn't a question about *how* standing changes work - there is plenty of information about that, and I have read it.

My question: The security status window of the character sheet shows the % change in security standing; however, when I plug that into a spreadsheet, the "% change" always seems "too high". An example:

Old standing: .1160
% change: .0248%
New standing: .1184

By my math, .1160 * (1 + .0248) = .1188

Rounding doesn't even come close to accounting for the gap. I know there are a lot of veterans here, and many of you are math gurus - can someone shed some light on this?

So not a question about how standing works even if you don't seem to have a clue about it?

The percentage is applied to the difference between your current standing and maximum standing and this result as added to your current standing to reach the new standing.

In your example this would mean a starting standing of 0.1160 + (10-0.1160)*0.0248% = 0.118451 which seems to be exactly what you are getting.

Also how does your math make the change seem 'too high'? Last time I checked 0.1188 > 0.1184 ofcourse at the same time when using a percentage for a muliplier you had to divide by 100 first.
