Edited by: Sara Fordring on 17/08/2006 01:31:44 Edited by: Sara Fordring on 17/08/2006 01:28:26 Looking at the Security Status tab of my character sheet, I see three separate 0.05 "Security Status Gain" entries (among the myriad of other entries).
What I'm confused about is the Security Status on the General tab says 0.0 but 0.05 x 3 is clearly 0.15.
Are these two things not related? If they are, why isn't my security status on the General tab going up? If they're not, how do I increase my security status on the General tab?
Thanks.
Edit: Fixed my math :(
*sigh* posted under the wrong character. Meant to use Katrana Fordring

It's not 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05.
Your security status is actually your standing to Concord, therefore it's calculated in the same way.
In this case, it's 0.05% of the difference between your current standing and 10, so your actual standing should be (assuming you started at 0): 0.0005 x (10-0) = 0.005 0.0005 x (10-0.005) = 0.005 + 0.005 for a total of 0.010 0.0005 x (10-0.010) = 0.005 + 0.010 for a total of 0.015
0.015 rounded to 1 dp is 0.0
I think you missed the fact that the standing changes are in percent.

Is there an easy way to raise your standings to concord apart from 00 ratting as it gets dull rather quickly.

Nope, 0.0 ratting is the best way to improve sec rating.
Training up Fast Talk will improve the sec gains, but bear in mind that the higher your sec status becomes, the harder the rat you have to kill for it to count.
Think of it as Concord saying 'Great, you can kill an 8k bounty rat, now do something that will impress us'.
Also only the highest rated rat you kill in a certain time period will be counted. This time period seems to be from 11-15 minutes, judging from my experiements and forum replies.

"Training up Fast Talk will improve the sec gains..."
I was wondering what that did. The way the skill description is worded it sounds like it would help in smuggling contraband. Sig removed, lacks Eve-related content - Cortes |

That's because the gain is very small.
If a rat is worth a 0.2% increase, with Fast Talk 3 you'd get a 15% increase on that, thus you'd get a 0.23% increase instead.
Given a 100K rat is usually worth 0.01%, you can see how it appears to do nothing, especially when the standing is calculated on the difference between your current standing and 10.
If you don't believe me, make up a brand new alt and see what security rise they get for killing a rat, then see what happens when you train up fast talk to 5 and kill the same rat.

I don't doubt you, I kill BS rats (not on this char) but never noticed a difference. I shall look harder :)
