== True security ==

A given system's security level is actually a real number between -1.0 and 1.0 (this is known as the system's True Security Level, True-Sec, or Truesec). It is rounded and displayed as the system's security level according to the following rules.

A given system's security level is actually a real number between -1.0 and 1.0 to 5 decimal places (this is known as the system's True Security Level, True-Sec, or Truesec). It is rounded and displayed as the system's security level according to the following rules.

* If the true security is in between 0.0 and 0.05 the security is rounded up to precision.

* Otherwise round to precision.

Many security related mechanics use the true security instead of the rounded security status. ~~For example belt rats and~~ mission ~~rewards~~.

Many security related mechanics use the true security instead of the rounded security status, however. A lower True-Sec system has better mission pay-outs than a higher True-Sec system, even if the displayed sec status is the same.

The true security is not visible anywhere in game, instead it can be found in the [https://community.eveonline.com/community/fansites/toolkit/ official datadump] or from [https://esi.tech.ccp.is/latest/#/ ESI API]. Many third party mapping tools such as [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/ Dotlan] also show the true security.
