Just trying to definitively nail down what determines whether a rat in a faction warfare plex will shoot at you or not.

It appears to be based something along these lines, but my ability to test these is limited so if anyone sees an instance that does not match the below, please let me know:

Rats WILL aggro if:

  • CONFIRMED
    • You are in a militia at war with the faction who owns the plex (i.e. Minmatar or Gallente militia in a Caldari or Amarr plex)
    • You aggress against any rats in the plex (duh).

  • UNCONFIRMED, in order of probability of being correct based on my experience and others' reports
    • You are NOT in the militia who owns the plex AND have a raw standing (don't factor in diplomacy, connections, etc.) less than 5.0 to the Faction (NOT the militia corp). For example, if you are in the Minmatar militia and are in a Gallente plex, the rats WILL shoot at you if your raw Gallente faction is less than 5.0. The same is true if you are not in a militia and have less than a 5.0 raw standing to the faction owning the plex.
    • You aggress anyone in the plex belonging to the militia who owns the plex.
    • You have an aggression timer against the militia who owns the plex.
    • You have a GCC and are NOT in the militia who owns the plex.
    • You are in the militia who owns the plex but have a raw standing to the faction less than -5.0.




Rats WILL NOT aggro if (assuming you haven't brought aggro by doing one of the above):

  • CONFIRMED
    • You are in the militia owning the plex (and have a raw standing better than -5.0 to the faction?)

  • UNCONFIRMED
    • You are in the allied militia or not in a militia and have a raw standing of 5.0 or better to the faction who owns the plex.

If you are, for example (and this is completely arbitrary), in the Minmatar militia running defensive plexes for Gallente, then you will get aggro if your standings are not high enough. The standings requirement for not getting aggro increase with the level of the plex. For example, I think a Minmatar militia member with a +2.5 Federation standing will get aggro in a L3 Federation plex, but not in a L2 plex. Haven't figured out the exact standings requirements for each plex yet.

I hadn't thought about the different levels of plexes that would have different requirements, but that may match what some people in my corporation have been seeing. I'll have to go back and do some more research.

You have been in militia since start of FW and you still dont know this kind of basic information? That's pretty fail. Not that rat aggro matters much, you seem to have habit of using the bug which causes caldari rats to shoot caldari militia members anyway when inside plexes.

My gallente standing is 4.9, and my FDU standing is 8.03 and I still get agro (being Minne FW) in gallente majors.

It's that sexy portrait. They don't know any other way to compliment you than to shoot at you.
