Getting positive Triglavian and EDENCOM standings: Difference between revisions

A tick cycle is a 10-minute data processing window that begins after the first target on grid is destroyed.  Data is sent to the CCP servers for processing and standings points are determined based on the type of target destroyed.  At the end of the tick cycle, standings points are awarded to the pilots that engaged that target.  During this 10-minute cycle, several targets may be destroyed on grid, but only the highest single-yield target will award its standings points to the pilots that engaged it-all other lower-yield drones and ships destroyed during the tick cycle will award zero (0.0) standings points to the pilots that engaged those targets.

    For example, an E-Uni fleet of Nagas and Vigils land at a Torpid Sleeper combat site and target, engage, and destroy 3 Sleeper ships (a Hypnosian Avenger (frigate)(+0.093standings points), Hypnosian Agonizer (frigate)(+0.093standings points), and a Hypnosian Upholder (cruiser)(+0.108standings points)) within a 10-minute engagement window. After the tick cycle ends, all fleet members will receive +0.108 standings points for ONLY THE CRUISER-the two frigates yield zero(0.0) standings gains.  It's good practice to shoot ships, but a waste of ammunition and extra standings points that could be awarded on a future tick cycle.

    For example, an E-Uni fleet of Nagas and Vigils and Cormorants land at the Vale stargate, target, engage, and destroy 1 Interfering Phase-II Legionary (drone)(+0.03standings points), 1 Vexing Phase-IV Legionary (drone)(+0.059standings points), and 1 Overmind Interruptor Lamda (battleship)(+0.20standings points) within a 10-minute engagement window.

After the tick cycle ends, all fleet members will receive +0.20 standings points for ONLY THE BATTLESHIP-the drones yield zero(0.0) standings points.

    For example, the E-Uni fleet destroyed the Phase-II Legionary and the Phase-IV Legionary above, but warped away before the Overmind was destroyed within the 10-minute engagement window. After the tick cycle ends, if the Overmind was not destroyed, all fleet members will receive +0.059 standings points for ONLY THE PHASE-IV DRONE-the Phase-II drone yields zero(0.0) standings points.  But now the Overmind can be engaged again to start a new tick cycle, and if destroyed, will yield +0.20 standings points to all pilots that shot it from the previous engagement as well as the current engagement, and any other ships on grid that applied offensive modules to the target.
