In corporations the standings are combined and averaged. In alliances, that combined standing is averaged with those of all the other corporations in it.

Generally, you have FW corps and alliances with almost perfect standings peppered with people who have very bad standings. As long as the average standings of the corporation/alliance stays above 0.05 it can stay in the militia.

And yes... even veterans take standings hits for killing their own militia members. So it's not something that many people will get into the habit of doing unless they don't care about staying in the militia.



As far as what the OP is talking about...
The idea he is proposing will do more harm than anything else as it will disallow friendly gangs/fleets from assisting each other at the drop of a hat (which is quite often).
NOTE: FW corporations and alliances typically like their independence and often dislike working too closely with others... even if they are friendly. They will work together if they must... but when they can, they will operate on their own. And I like it this way because it makes things "colorful."


edit:
There is one semi-famous AWOXer that I think the OP is talking about. I forget his name, but he jumps from alt corp to alt corp in each militia and kills friendlies. His standings with all factions are atrocious and the only way he gets away with it is because when a person joins a corporation their standings are not factored in until 7 days after joining. When that happens, he joins another alt FW corp and continues the cycle.
This man is generally the exception rather than a rule.

AWOXers - people who attack their own faction or side in FW wars by using various exploits - face nearly 0 penalties. They are usually experienced sociopaths who know how to **** people off enough to attack them (jump into their plex, crawl under their range, target them) while exploiting the game's mechanic designed to prevent AWOXing - the attacking party, who now has some wretched prick poking him in his armpit - takes the faction hit for attacking the irritant. AWOXers are usually older players who know exactly how to do this, who to do it to (usually, newer players).

So I recommend this mechanic: unless you're in a fleet with someone on your side they can't enter a plex you have entered before them. It would just block them out.

And since most AWOXers are cynical veterans they don't take faction dings. They irritate someone - preferably new - until that person attacks them. Or they surprise someone and act like they're going to attack so the other person counters and that other person takes the faction ding. Or they switch back and forth between orgs to wipe their slate.

The guys who AWOX are seriously messed up. True sociopaths. Messing with sided warfare and any presumption of honor just floats their boat and puts a spring in their screwed up step. Present mechanics encourage this. Whatever the mechanic is they've figured it out. They really have no life and griefing their own side seems like justice to them. By making local fleet mandatory for jumping into someone else's plex you at least make it real time and interpersonal.
