EVE General Discussion

You only get a standings drop to an NPC corp if you kill an FW player belonging to one. There are no standings implications for killing a PC Corp FWer.


No, you cannot view standings of another pilot, just their relative standing to you and yours.

Correct. NPC corpies are solo FWers.

You do not have faction standings implications for killing another player, but killing NPCs will come with a faction standings hit.

Ah Nevil... still having trouble with reading comprehension.

Neutral players will lose standings against the NPC FW corp if they attack an FW player who is a part of it.

Due to the nature of the standings mechanics, these players will also lose some standings with the parent Faction... but only in very small percentages (see: it is negligible unless you make it a full time job).


None of this applies if a person is in a Player corporation (no standings hit, no problem).
Hell... FW corporations can declare war on each other within the same militia. No standings hit there either.

They don't. Standings (FW and otherwise) are not public.

I get the fact that members only and public are the same thing because someone would just sign up an Alt and broadcast everything on a site somewhere but at the same time what use are standings if people in the corp don't know what they are ?

Player corporation standings are useful.

If a player has killed a lot of members of the corp you are in then there is good reason for members to be on guard against him.

This completely fails if you don''t let your corp members know about it which is why you can set corporation standings.

So why do NPC corporations do something so stupid as to keep them secret ?

If you want the delightful feature of corp standings as a guide in Local, then join a player corporation. The last thing we need is to dilute this feature and grant it to an NPC corp.


And yes, yes, a FW NPC corp. I'm looking for an eyeroll icon. eyeroll.gif. Did that work? Oh, forget it.

I can tell this is a problem that must come up a lot! The implications are...implications! *gets out magnifying glass*

Something should be done! Or, not!

You have personal standing on overview maybe you could just have an option to exchange that for corporation standing.
But you r right, why have corporation standing when you can have useful stuff like sec status less than zero and player has bounty ?

No, we understand what you're asking for. You are asking for free intel. "Point out my targets for me!" If someone is a bad, bad person you don't want to manually add him with Terrible Standing, or use Zkill, or use Pirate's Friend, or be in a PC Corp with an extensive Standings list.


No, you just want free intel so that when you Show Info on a pilot it will automatically tell you what that pilot generally does. Or, you want it in Local too, I can't tell.


The only in-game intel available to you is Sec Status. For the rest you actually have to figure out what that person is up to by observing their actions, identifying their ship, etc.


If you are wandering around with a rifle and a bayonet, nothing in existence will point out enemy targets to you. You have to suss that out yourself by using common sense and your experience.


P.S. PC Corp standings, editable by corp or alliance Diplomats or Directors, *are* available in Local along with Sec Status, Bounty, etc.


Here is a thread discussing the change from visible to invisible of the information you want in Show Info:
