Reputation Issues

Real simple, to the point.

The Edencom/Triglavian standings being incredibly difficult to repair has finally convinced me to drop the game entirely until such a time as a reasonable option to fix them is implemented.

I’m locked out of the majority of the playable space because Edencom decided im satan, and repairing that reputation would take eons of shooting small drones in triangle space.

Thanks for finally releasing me I guess.

Factions tend to not like you after you start killing them. Actions have consequences. Who knew?

Nobody, that’s the point. I’m sure if some people knew that after the invasion EDENCOM would permanently turret up half of high-sec without any agents to repair standings, they’d nope out of the event immediately.

Ah, the “it’s always someone else’s fault” crowd.

Shoot Rogue Drones in Pooch and you get Edencom and Trigshits standings. Invasion was a huge event and went on for months. EVE is all about consequences and NPC standings dropping is one of the cornerstones of interactions.

I don’t have any faction standings. I didn’t fall for the CCP mail “Hey capsuleer! Long time no see! Wouldn’t you know it, the cluster is under attack by the scary triangle people in search of a home! Oooh, spooky, right? EDENCOM was formed to try to stop them! How? We don’t know yet, the lore guy is in rehab! But there’s Loru guy with some fits! Join the fight! Pick a side! Buy some Plex! How exciting! Definitely probably not not not irreparably brick your character! Buy some Plex! Please, for the love of god!” and the inevitable “Oh, you’d like to go to Jita, huh? Guess there’s not much trading in Pochven, huh?” fallout.

I just feel bad for the people who did.

Exactly what part of a drone is the “pooch”?

I assume that it’s akin to the “keester”.

thats not totally accurate of what you need to do

I’ll copy pasta a guide we give out as one of the easiest ways to gain standings in pochven or triangle space

If you want positive standings with both trigs and edencom, fit up a rail cormorant as cheaply as possible, targeting range to about 80km, use a filament to enter pochven and look for Cosmic Anomaly “Incipient Drone Swarm”, warp to 80km and shoot the drones that are present there (leave if a big drone, battleship or larger, spawns). Shooting these drones will award you positive standing to both trigs and edencom.

Standings ticks are awarded based on the “largest” thing you shoot every 15mins. So killing 5 drones or 1 drone does not matter. The best method is shoot 1 drone in the swarm, then find a different system (with its own 15min timer) and shoot a drone there, and repeat until your standings to both trig and edencom are positive.

If you start from 0 to Trig and 0 to Edencom, killing two or three drones (and getting two or three different standing ticks) are enough for this process to make you positive to both at 0.01.

Its also worth noting that you can shoot the faction you’re positive with (edencom or trigs) in order to lower your standing with them and boost your standing with the other, the standings triangle can be pretty easily exploited, also, you can shoot drifters aswell as drones which will give you 2 standings ticks as those are different factions and both edencom and trigs hate them, so if you want to maximise the standings swing kill all 3 of them in a single system and then hop next door to rinse and repeat

Standing ticks aren’t foolproof.

The timer system isn’t per system—it’s server-based and shared. Jumping around thinking you’re resetting a personal timer is a myth unless you’re managing exact timings or waiting it out properly.

Can confirm, it also takes forever.

I would love to see EDENCOM fortresses disappear because the event that spawned them is long, long over.

If this is true, then EDENCOM won’t shoot you. Not sure what the problem is.

Got some patch notes for that change because its pretty much always worked on a per-system basis there bud

What’s there to argue about?

You’re wrong.

I mean, i literally provided evidence to back up my claim, please do explain how CCP’s own game is wrong :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t have a reputation issue.

Sure but you did state that standings ticks per system is a myth, i provided evidence that proves otherwise, you claimed i was wrong, so i’m waiting for the part where you prove that i am wrong and that standings ticks being based per system is a myth

I’m going to be honest with you. I don’t care.
