I thought killing off officer class ships also increased your concord sec stats higher than 5? I've seen a couple of explorers having higher than 5 sec stats in the past..


A lot of 0.0 on down type residents can get fairly high ratings. They don't gank in empire space and killing any rats they come across can get them fairly high - more so in the past but it's not uncommon to find people who don't think about it that much.

it doesn't mean you should trust such if you bump into them, it just means they don't bother going to empire with that char very often.

There is one effect that might be considered a benefit albeit minor of having high positive sec status.

Someone shooting you illegally will take a bigger sec status hit for the privilege. In very rare cases in low sec this may cause someone to choose not to shoot you particularly on a gate/station where the chance of success may be in doubt due to gate guns. But this will only be people who actually care about their own sec status. Flashies, won't even look.

It isn't a reason to go for high sec status though, the chance of this happening is too rare to make it worthwhile on it's own. In addition in some cases you might actually want them to shoot first and aggro the gate guns.

There's no real point in having sec status above -1.9. Anything above zero just makes you look like a square.Big smile



I disagree. Having a positive sec status makes it much easier to encourage new recruits to trust your "missioning corp".

How come I haven't seen anyone above -2.0 in low-sec then?????


Because at -1.9 they make a trip to hisec to get more stuff to shoot people with. First shot knocks them right back into -2.0 Lol
