EVE General Discussion

Sorry if this is in the wrong place , search returned nil.

I understand that to boost your LP gain from NPC missions that having the skill " Security Connections" is very beneficial.

What I would like to understand is how that is applied in a fleet environment.

eg does the skill boost apply to the toon that has selected the mission only , with that LP payout split between the fleet crew;
or iIs the base LP split and then modified by eachs toons skill level trained;
or is the LP payout based on some magical mix of both the teams skill modifiers then split ?

Cheers for the neatest correct answer.

Answered and Thank you both for your inputs.

I have read that and understand the operation of the normal standing /bounty/LP split.
This is a deeper question as to how the LP earnings are modified by the skill books specifically " security connections" .


Edit [Stay tuned , experiment underway]

So what you're asking is how the loyalty points are distributed between the different pilots in a fleet, who share a mission when their trained levels of "Security Connections" differs?

"Security Connections" skill says:
Improves loyalty point gain by 10% per level when working for agents in the Security corporation division.

Example:
So let's say security mission "Foo" gives 900 loyalty points.

For a solo pilot the loyalty point rewards would be:

900 LP = Security Connections neither injected nor trained
990 LP = Security Connections I
1080 LP = Security Connections II
1170 LP = Security Connections III
1260 LP = Security Connections IV
1350 LP= Security Connections V


Let's take this to a multi-pilot scenario:

Three pilots (A, B, and C) with three different levels of "Security Connections", I, III, and V respectively.

Pilot C pulls the mission, all three pilots fly the mission together. Pilot C turns it in and shares the rewards out:


First possible distribution of LP *** UPDATE: This is the correct interpretation after running an experiment ***

Pilot C has "Security Connections" level V and is granted a 50% bonus to the base LP reward, so has 1,350 LP to distribute. This is then divided equally between all three pilots, so each pilot would get 450 LP.


Second possible distribution of LP:

The mission grants a base reward of 900 LP which is split equally to all three pilots (300 base each) and the percentage bonus applied is based on the individual pilot's level of "Security Connections":

Pilot A has Security Connections I and gets 330 LP
Pilot B has Security Connections III, and gets 390 LP
Pilot C has Security Connections V, and gets 450 LP (for a total of 1,170 LP)


I'm curious to know which is the proper interpretation, as well.

=== Updated ===

Experiment ran:

Pilot A had Security Connections V and pulled L4 security mission "Duo of Death" and was offered 3,372 LP for completing
the mission.

Pilot B had Security Connections III

After turning in the mission and sharing the rewards, both pilots got exactly 50% of the LP offered: 1,686 each, so it's the "First possible distribution of loyalty points" scenario.
