I see that the dual standings is being brought up a lot and I wanted to give my thoughts on it.
The dual standings and ability to be highly positive with Edencom and Triglavians makes perfect sense because EVE is a game and that means that certain liberties with consistency are critical for the game.
If things would be more consistens as people are suggesting, that would mean that anyone who helped the Trigs would quickly be set to -10 by both the Empires and CONCORD because you betrayed them. But that didn’t happen because of the game aspect in the situation.
It has been stated that CCP did not expect people to side with Edencom and instead would heavily support the Triglavians. Using that premise, the ability to regain standings with Edencom to be able to move more freely in Empire space is also logical. People will want to be able to haul things in and out of Pochven. This extends to people not in Pochven, but not wanting to get attacked by Trigs or Edencom. They now have an option to prevent their game experience to not be negatively impacted because they didn’t or were unable to interact with the Triglavian content at the time.
Not everyone might agree with the dual standings, but it is important for the overall health of the game that the option is there.
