Benefits of security status over 5.0?

What are the benefits of increasing Security status. Only thing I can deduce is that it gives people a buffer when doing "criminal" activity so they won't get below zero so quickly. What I've searched they only state generalizations, ways to increase it, and what negative status grants but nothing on what positive status grants.

It really gives you nothing except that buffer as you already mentioned.
For getting it above 5.0... Well bragging rights but cant think about anything beyond that Sad

Given that it is impossible to keep it over 5.0 for long if you illegally shoot people, it can lull targets into a false sense of security when they check your info and see a 5.2 security status.

But given that it is impossible to keep it over 5.0 for long if you illegally shoot people, you cannot abuse that false sense of security all that often.

Thanks you two. So if you were to do things by the book and/or just refrain from conducting things that warrant loss of security status... neutral is basically equal to security status 9.0.

Note you cant actually get your sec status that high.

You can go down to -10, and a bit over 5.0 but i have never seen anyone with 6.0 or higher.
To get over 5.0 takes both standings, and skills and i think you can do some special missions or something that will get it over but not sure on that one.

The highest security status you can get by normal means (=shooting NPC pirates) is 5.0.

There are a few left-over missions that will raise your security status even if you are already at 5.0, but those are one-time things. And I'm not even certain that they are still in the game. AFAIK some players have even higher sec status from way back, when it was possible to raise it to 10, but that's no longer possible. So, if you use the one-time things and then shoot players and drop below 5.0, you will never be able to get it back over 5.0 again.

Which basically means that someone with a sec status over 5.0 never illegally shoots anyone, making it an even bigger surprise if they do.

Security status and Concord status have been decoupled. It is no longer possible by any means to get a status higher than 5.0, unless you had it before they decoupled it. And to have had that standing, you would have had to have done it before the last Concord Cosmos agents were "temporarily" suspended from giving out their missions.

Last year there were two concord cosmos left. I had a 5.2 from faction spawn; I've run Christer Fuglesang, but never Jeremy Tacs (he was removed much earlier). One mission was enough to get me up to 5.5.

If you have Social skills maxed it was possible to get around a 6.0 from both missions.

In my opinion, security status's above 5.0 are the only people you can "trust" in lowsec to not shoot first. It's too much of a pain to raise and too easy to lose.

You can see a list of the highest sec status players on eveboard below:

A number of players are in the 6s. There are probably many more who's api's aren't linked.

Lmao... sorry Lol

Her part of the "trust" bit just gave me a helpful food for thought that's all.

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..

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

Pretty much a "proof" that you are not some evil pirate or ganker right before you start your pirate/ganker career?

This man understands. Even -2.4 is fine. I mean, really, who goes to 1.0 systems anyways?

That's way out of date. The only reason those agents contributed to your sec status was because Concord increases and sec status increases were linked. When they decoupled them, no mission can get you there. Besides, those agents were disabled about a year or more ago.

It's true what Qalix said...it's not really possible to get over 5.0 sec status anymore. Trust me, I know what I am talking about.

Are you guys telling me having anything over 0.0 security status is possible???? How come I haven't seen anyone above -2.0 in low-sec then????? I guess I've been living there for too long? *mind boggles*

How did you Veterans start?
