Hi Missions & Complexes,

Quick question.

I have two characters that are able to fly SBs. One of my characters has very low sec status and I intend to belt rat in a 0.4 in order to grind it back up again.

If I have them in the same fleet, hitting the same BS, will the sec status boost I receive for one of the characters be the same or halved due to having another character?

The idea is that I'll be able to grind it back up twice as fast if I'm using twice the DPS to kill the BS rat. But something tells me that won't work, or will have diminishing returns.

Thanks!

The sec gain will be the same of all the people who tag the highest bounty ship in that sys and stay in sys for its death. Though if you are only ratting in one system its going to take awile. The timer on the sec bump will reset every time you kill something so you need to do several systems in a loop or route finding the highest bounty rat in each and moving on. I think it'll bump every 20mins or less so find 5-6 systems or so and loop those. If you've got bombers and have access to some null its gonna be alot more bang for your efforts to loop in there.

Thanks for your help! And yes I will be jumping systems of course to keep up with the 'bump'. Much appreciated.
