You think you don't want that, but you should reconsider.

The way standings are calculated is rubbish. Players and NPC standings work on two different wavelengths, for the sake of convenience player standings are set to -10, -5, 0, +5 and +10 values, because setting specific values to a player is impossible since the standing slider has the precision of a surgeon wearing oven mittens. And don't get me started on the fact that NPC standings work in an asymptote function, that gets stupidly harder to raise the higher the value gets, while no such distinction is given when standing penalties are involved. Why on earth are standings calculated based on percentages instead of a flat value? And why is it that each standing rank is a flat 100% and the maximum being 1000%? Wait, that's wrong, because a "maxed" 10 NPC standing is actually a 999,999999% rounded up with CCP_round magic.

Also, there's the fact that even with positive Guristas corporation and faction standings, Guristas still shoot players on sight and unprovoked, making it exceedingly hard to sustain those standings when resorting to self-defense. Plus, you've been removing the advantages of high NPC standings with each passing year, to the point they just make up for a poor roleplaying tool and a gatekeeper for missions.

My opinion might be worth less than spit, but I'd like that you guys give some thought to reviewing the standing system down the line, even if it takes years to make it a reality. Just saying.

What about war decs ?

Way back when jump clones required standings to install, an active player could contribute their standings to their corporation to allow everyone to install jump clones in stations belonging to any NPC corp that met the standing requirements. Their standing contribution,however, would be turned off if they didn't had an active subscription. The same way ghost training (training skills without a subscription) is also disabled.

What happens now is that every account will have a "subscription" come 15th of November, and what we will be playing is for the Omega status, as opposed to the freemium Alpha status. When that happens, players that didn't have a subscription paid account will count as subscribed, activating their login privileges, their skill training, and corporation standing contribution.

What this means for Faction Warfare corporations is that suddenly their Faction standings might drop thanks to inactive players becoming active. If those faction standings drop bellow 0 for their main faction, they will be kicked out of FW. Same is true for alliances.

So basically, kick your inactive members with bad standings before the 15th.

While you may be one of the Guri, ... in league with Nation and the Blood Raiders... You are certainly not alone in your valuing of Standings and how important they are to some of New Eden's Pilots.

Yes, IIRC war dec cost are also related to the number of active players in a corporation. Will war dec cost go up now?

CCP Rise, how much work would it be to tie the standings calculation to the Omega members only?

ive asked on twitter to several CCP members but no one has said yet

can your transfer Characters from alpha clone status or do you need to be Omega to do so
char bazaar rule 11 and 13 need to be updated to reflect this also
please also make a public post about it
