After killing a serco def bot in sector 12 my serco favor is "increased slightly" I thought that this happened with all nation defense ships, but have since been told that this is not the case (at which point I had thought it was fixed for all nations which is also not the case).

Well, I killed a defbot and it said NT favor increased slightly, then Itani favor decreased significantly, NT favor decreased enormously :C

NT favor increased and decreased?

Yes...

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, then down...this should not be.

Killing drones should result in a raise in standing for that nation but killing a defbot should have the opposite result.

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

[edit] I will no longer test bugs in other nations...we need stiff punishment (read: banning) for pilots that interfere in testing.

I've been killing a -LOT- of itani defbots (6 jackhammers each. Went on for an hour or so until I got bored)

Each time I get:
Serco standing increased
Itani standing increased slightly

-no- decrease. (I'm currently Serco with neutral standing with Itani. Had neutral when I started to kill off itani bots)

Now however, sometime recently I reached a threshold. I only get "Serco standing increased slightly" when killing Itani defbots. I tried it on itani players too, only get "slightly" there as well. (actually, I still get a slight itani boost from killing defbots, but no reduction from killing players.)

However, I do get a reduction from killing Neutrals.
(I haven't done any neutral missions)

edit: this was all around the time for me asking the question in General forum. Haven't played much since.

Should be fixed now.

I wouldn't know, a1k0n...too much interference from players.
