Standings and Security Status in EVE

The past couple of days, standings, has been a topic of discussion in our corp after a vet got popped by faction navy in space where he didn’t have good standing.  The  Missions_Guide sheds light on this in the following sections.  Basically if your standing is -2.0 or higher you cannot get missions with that faction/corp, and if your -5.0 or higher faction navy can and will pop you.

• 5 Standings
• 6 Modifying Standings
• 7 Bad Standings Impacts
• 8 Recovering Bad Standings

Security Status

Between those extremes of high and zero secure sectors are a large number of sectors with security standing somewhere between high and low or safe and unsafe as some people choose to call them. High security sectors are usually a considerable distance from the zero rated ones and in between are sectors that gradually go from high to low security. Systems that are rated 0.5 secure are viewed as the borders between imperial space and lawless space. Once you go into 0.4 or below, you will not be protected by CONCORD, though sentry guns will still be active around stations and stargates.

Examples of criminal offenses:

• Destroying a law enforcement craft
• Pod Killing civilians
• Destroying civilian craft
• Attacking law enforcement craft
• Attacking civilian craft

It is worth mentioning that the above applies in all Empire space, certain 0.0 systems included. It is only in non-Empire 0.0 space that one can commit a crime and completely get away with it.

Security status: Empire restrictions

• Below -2 = not in 1.0 sec systems
