An example of Kavani Standing, with tiers and rewards.
Faction Standing is the measurement of a player's reputation with a faction. Faction Standing points can be gained via a couple methods in-game. The current range of Faction standing goes from -2000 to 5000 standing points.
Obtaining[]
Faction Standing points can be gained by doing Missions for a specific faction of choice, with the reward depending on the tier. They can also be obtained by turning in specific items formerly owned by an opposing group that increase standing with that faction (as an example, a Kavani mission log can be turned over to either the Lycentians or the Foralkans for extra standing points). CoreSec's enemy is Drones, and Syndicate and Trade Union are enemies to NPC Pirates. Supplying Faction Crates to an HQ will also redeem a standing point per crate.
Tiers[]
Tiers constitute as ranks for each of the six factions. Rewards for faction standing is based on these tiers, each one having a points threshold before being obtained. Upon reaching a higher tier, all rewards from previous tiers will remain.
| Tier | Faction's Standing Points |
|---|---|
| -2 Enemy | -1500 - -2000 |
| -1 Suspect | -500 - -1499 |
| 0 Neutral | 0 - 499 |
| 1 Associate | 500 - 1499 |
| 2 Associate | 1500 - 2499 |
| 3 Ally | 2500 - 3499 |
| 4 Ally | 3500 - 4499 |
| 5 Hero | 4500 - 5000 |

Negative Standing[]
Upon attacking and destroying Faction Ships, standing with the faction will go down. At certain levels of negative standing, the factions will take action against the offending player, depending on the "Negative Tier" of standing. It is possible to get CoreSEC enemy status by killing covert ops ships, although this takes a long time.
**IMPORTANT**
If you have -1500 with a faction, they will attack on sight, whether you are in a Core, Secure, Contested, Unsecure, or Wild system.
| Tier | Tier FSP Requirements | Faction Actions |
|---|---|---|
| -1 | -500 | The faction prevents the player from entering any of the faction's stations (including Commercial stations). |
| -2 | -1500 | All Faction ships and Military Stations will attack the player on sight, in addition to not being able to use their stations. If the player is to reach this level of standing they will receive the title 'Enemy of the Empire, Mandate, Federation, Trade Union, Syndicate or People' for Foralkus, Kavani, Lycentia, Trade Union, Syndicate and Coresec respectively. |
NPC Dialogue[]
Depending on the player's relations/standing with said state or group, players will be greeted by officials if at their respective offices/embassies with the following dialogues.
Faction military recruiters, however, do not change dialogue based on standing, instead use the player's status in the faction's military.
| Standing | Faction Representatives |
|---|---|
| -2000 | "I know about your crimes against
[INSERT FACTION HERE] pilot. What do you want? |
| -500- | "You've got a lot of nerve showing up
here pilot. What do you want?" |
| 0 | "Hello pilot. What can I help you with?" |
| 500+ | "Always a pleasure to see a friend of
[INSERT FACTION HERE] in our embassy. What can I help you with pilot?" |
| Standing | John Doe |
|---|---|
| -500 | "Lovely day. Too bad
you showed up." |
| 0 | "Lovely day." |
| 500+ | "Nice to see you.
Keep it quiet." |
Resetting Standing[]
If you have a bad standing and wish to reset it, go to The Citadel and head to the docking bays. There, Go to the office of the faction you wish to fix standing with and tell the ambassador that you want to fix your standing. The Ambassador will offer you a pardon in the case you pay reparations to the origin's treasury or reserves, paid at a rate of 5 credits per Standing point. Once paid, the ambassador will have another dialogue popup over them "finalizing your pardon". Once paid, the ambassador greets you with the dialogue used for tier 0 players. Players can also turn in items for Standing to increase their standing manually. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO RESET YOUR STANDING WITH CORESEC WITHOUT THE USE OF STANDING ITEMS (please note, you will be unable to enter the Citadel if you have -500 standing with CoreSec).
Trivia[]
- Upon reaching Hero status with all factions, you will be granted the "Galactic Hero" title
- Inversely, reaching Enemy status with all factions grants you the "Galactic Enemy" title. This title is a good bit rarer than Galactic Hero as it takes a lot more effort to get- particularly because of the difficulty of killing CoreSec ships, and the difficulty of finding enough Trade Union and Syndicate freighters to destroy.
