Now I have a question, How does nation standing and killing someone of that nation show to a user?

I dont particularly feel like trying this out extensively, cause it'd require a scrap-char that isn't too easy to gain, so if somone who has the experience can enlighten me instead?

a) What messages do you get about standing changes? are you informed that your standing with said players nation is reduced, if it is reduced?

b) how does your standing with his homenation change the results? or his standing with your nation, or his standing with his own nation?

Hard to tell, since we can not see his standing, so to find out would require a cooperation of two players. I did a little experiment way back with cleveland, I used a blue char to kill him in 7, then he killed me back.

Me killing him: Itani standing reduced significantly (from high like to low like or maybe high neutral I think, don;t remember exactly)
NT Standing reduced enormously (from neutral down to hate)
TGP Standing reduced enormously (from neutral down to hate)

When he then killed me, his TGP and NT standings went up, his Itani standing went down to about 50% neutral from I think 99% neutral.

If anyone is interested in testing this more, msg me in game, I'll make a testing char for it.

I'd love to know more, but its too expensive to find out. (real testing would require a level 3 character at least. )

I jackhammered a defbot and then ran into him causing a wingbug. Serco hates me now. It said:

"Your standing with Serco improved slightly."
And I thought, "Whoa. . . Cool!"

Then immediately afterwards it said:

"Your standing with Serco dropped enormously."
And I thought, "Whoa. . . Crap!"

hmm, that looks new. I was trying to improve my NT standing by botting in 6 a coula days ago, and every now and then I had to kill a pesky defbot (well, more often they killed me but that is beside the point) and killing it actually improved my NT standing but hurt my Itani standing for some reason. At least that was what the chat said.

There is a bug there, I'm currently trying to get more info on...If you kill a defbot for, say, Itani, your Itani standing goes up...this should not be.

Killing drones should yeild this result but killing a defbot should have the opposite result.

Devs and Hi lvl players, help me out on this and start testing. It's too difficult for me at my low level.

-I figured out what it is. If your standing is neutral or better, killing defbots will make you instantly hated. If your standing if hated, killing defbots will slightly increase it. It makes sense since otherwise there would be no way to improve standing once you lose it.
