Information on a pilot's standings towards NPC corporations is no longer visible from 'Show Info'. You now see the standings information between you and the other pilot and the factions you each belong to.
Am I reading this correctly?
If my standings with certain NPC corps are no longer visible to others, then what does that mean for corps who recruit based on the recruit's standings toward said NPC corp or faction?
There are quite a few out there who use that method and might not take this change lightly. It's a matter of security to them.

Get their limited API key and look it up on eveboard like everyone else.
Well it's not only that, the main reason people look at player profiles is to check standings, that and the corp they belong to and that corp's standings, then alliance standings after that. The only things worth looking besides standings is whatever is put in the Bio (if there is one).

Yeah CCP, why this seemingly random and unnecessary change?
Yeah this is the only thing in the patch notes that baffles me... I'm trying to think of "why" they suddenly decided to change this.
So you can't figure out where somebody missions at a glance. So you can't gather tons of intel super easily on somebody or their corp.
Well that's stupid. If my standings are high with the Caldari Navy and someone tries to hunt my missions based on this then they'll have to look all over Caldari controlled space.
Standings with a an NPC corp isn't much of a secret to hide

You look at which agent you have personal standings to +10 with
So what?!
It's not like you can't avoid whoever it is who's hunting you. And if I'm a war target to someone and he finds my missions using those methods then I say that's perfect war strategy and adds to the risk vs reward factor of EVE.
Even if it's a can flipper, you can just refuse to play into his bull**** and not shoot him. And as for ninja salvagers, I just destroy the wrecks and deny him a prize.

If they see you have a standing of 9.00+ with certain agents (currently possible) they know exactly where you mission, making it very easy to track you down and set up an ambush. With this information no longer public they would have to use a locator agent while you are online to effectively stalk you.
Again, risk vs reward. It's what drives this game.
EVE isn't a game for sugar coating.
