So I am pretty sure on this but everything I have found in searching the internet has been to vague for my liking.

Okay so I am in a Normal corporation/alliance and roaming around Faction warfare space in a frigate. In a system I engage (I shoot first) a player part of a Faction Warfare Corp/NPC corp. Do I lose standing to that faction for shooting them?

TLDR- I am not in Faction Warfare and I shoot someone who is in Faction Warfare. Do I lose faction standings in any way?

If anyone needs clarification on my question ask please as I want to know how this game mechanic works inside and out.

Try that other forum where the factioneers post too?

I would say. No.

Cause to game mechanics, you are just shooting a random neutral to you.

Then again, not 100% sure about it either.

Thing is, ganking people of npc corps lowers standing towards them.

Requires a shoot first, ask question later attitude. Or maybe only the first.

I'm sure you can raise the standing again by shooting the opposing faction or something.

So start shooting guys already!

^^this afaik.

You shoot me, it doesn't matter (except I'll punch you in the nose - in game, ofc).

Shoot someone in fedef, lose standings towards fedef.

Never lose galente standings, though.

Yw.

To be 100% sure you can test it super easy: go find somebody from fedef, tlif, sprot or 24whatever, aggress, kill or die, check standings history with corp/faction. Try to pod them to be extra sure. Twisted

You're correct Gully.

My standings to FEDEF and to SPROT for example are both -10 from shooting NPC Corp militia members, but my Gallente standing is still 1.02.

If you shoot NPC militia, you lose standing against that NPC Corp. If you shoot player Corp militia, you don't lose standing against the NPC Corp, but the player Corp is free to set you to whatever they want.
