1 day ago a friend joined my highsec pos corp

Tonight I Got above 5.0 Faction Standing, unmodified.

My friend has absolutely no standings with the faction.

My personal standings are at 5.21 (Unmodified) yet my corporation standings are at 4.46

Since my friend doesnt have standings with the faction, and since he has been in corp for less than 7 days, why are the corporate standings lower?

In addition, must I have 5.01 unmodified PERSONAL or CORPORATE faction standings to anchor in highsec?

Thank you

Correct, corp standings are updated at downtime.

EDIT: It's corp standings to anchor.

Are you trying to Anchor a Tower ? If so (or whenever), the Corp Standing with the Faction must be 5.0 (for a .5 system) so all members without 5.0 must leave the Corp for 7 Downtimes, at which time the Average Standing becomes 5.0 (or 5.21 in your case as it will be yours if you are the only member, etc.

If Low sec Anchoring....NVM.

1. Standings are updated after downtime.
2. Standings are still required for low-sec

THIS is so wrong I'm not even going to say anything except this sentence and then bail.........................

Here you go:



Taken from here -- http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Standings_mechanics

Keep in mind that the standings get "stuck" a lot ... so you'll possibly need to clear your cache or run a storyline sometimes.


The old mechanic was this (or close enough, anyway) -- "If the corp standing changes, then over the course of a week, start moving the standing by one-half the difference between the current standing and the calculated standing average". Yes, technically you'd never actually get there, so the 7th day didn't necessarily follow that math (or rounding error took care of it)

So, if you had 5.00 standings, and started a new corp, your corp standing would move like this (after completing a storyline)
DT 1 - 2.5 (0+((5 - 0)/2))
DT 2 - 3.75 (2.5+((5-2.5)/2)
DT 3 - 4.375 (3.75+((5-3.75)/2)
(more days)
DT 7 -- 5.00

If you went from 5 to 2.5 standing (you brought someone in with 0.01), it worked the same way:
DT 1 - 3.75 ( 5 + (2.5 - 5)/2)
(days)
DT 7 -- 2.50

Rather than change daily, the new mechanic doesn't even bother changing including someone in the calculations till they've been in the corp for a week.
So, if you had 5.00 standings, and started a new corp, your corp standing would move like this (after completing a storyline)
DT 1 - 0
DT 2 - 0
(more days)
DT 7 -- 5.00

If you went from 5 to 2.5 standing (you brought someone in with 0.01), it works the same way:
DT 1 - 5
DT 2 - 5
(more days)
DT 7 -- 2.50


as a sidenote -- while I suppose that the "clear the cache" method noted here works, I have never tried it. I always just blitz a storyline's worth of L1 missions to get the standings thing working... (old habits die hard, and all)

remove POS from hisec .

Really, it's just over DT, so you could have everyone in the corp (with bad standings) at 10:50 ET, have them drop by 10:55, wait out DT, and then come back in at 11:30.

It makes sense that the average corp standings matter -- you're supposed to be working as a team *FOR* the faction you want to set up other facilities in. I.E. the ability to set up POS in hisec is a "bonus" for being on good terms with the bureaucrats.
