Quote: For those interested, few details on how the standing decay system works at the moment:
* personal, corporate and faction standings fall at rate of 1% per day. It's said the exception is made if the player "haven't logged in recently".
* performing single mission improves faction by ~0.7%, corporate standings by ~1.6% and personal standings by ~2-4% The improvements probably depend on agent level, quality, mission type, personal attributes and whatnot.
* there's a very handy "Show Transactions" command which displays log very similar to the journal, listing how exactly your standings with any given agent/corporation/faction was changing over time, and why.
Just some questions I have based on this plus a few other posts:
1. Do you mean journal or wallet? As on Tranq the journal doesn't display any retained log.
2. Do you get a Transaction log for each decay transaction?
3. If someone kills 5 npc ships, do the faction adjustments for each kill get logged individually? (Could see some really large database storage growth if EVE doesnt already retain this, unless of course after a certain period old records are consolidated)
4. If someone leaves (or is kicked from a corp) does their negative/positive adjustments to the corps standing go away too?
5. If someone is a member of an NPC corp does player standing effect that corp? Or does that NPC corp eventually "kick" the player? Eg A character is in an NPC corp and goes about pirating NPC ships belonging to the same faction.
6. Do faction standings automatically decay every day or only if you do nothing to effect the faction for that day?
7. Does filling an NPC buy order or making a purchase from an NPC vendor effect faction standings? (After all what is different between getting a mission to provide minerals or outright just selling to the same station minerals, in either case your still providing an enemy or friend)
8. If just selling minerals to an NPC station does not effect faction, then why have mineral missions that only pay NPC prices?
9. (related to 6.) If (during a day) you do something that causes a negative adjustment to a faction, without doing anything positive do you still get a decay adjustment?
10. (reverse of 9.) If during day you do something positive for a faction you have a negative standing with (without doing anything negative), do you still get decay for that day? What if your positive adjusment is less than the natural decay amount?
