Standings points are given to pilots who | Standings points are given to pilots who | ||
# engaged a target with an offensive module (weapons or EWAR), | |||
# weapon damage is registered on the target (weapon hits), and | |||
# the target is destroyed (by the fleet, by EDENCOM or Triglavian forces or by third parties). | |||
If the target is not destroyed, standings points are not awarded. | |||
Standings are given in 10-minute tick cycles that begin after the first target in system is destroyed. At the end of the tick cycle, standings points are awarded for the largest-value ship that the pilot engaged with offensive modules in during that tick cycle. During this 10-minute tick cycle, several targets may be destroyed in one system, 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 same tick cycle will award zero (0.0) standings points to the pilots that engaged those targets. So if you find multiple big targets to kill, you should kill one target, wait for standings tick cycle to end, and then kill the next target. | Standings are given in 10-minute tick cycles that begin after the first target in system is destroyed.

=== Entering Pochven === | === Entering Pochven === | ||
==== Filaments ==== | |||
The easiest way to enter Pochven is to use an inbound [[Pochven#Pochven Region Filaments|filament]]. These can be bought off the market. These filaments come in many variants: border, internal, home and cladistic, allowing fleet of up to 1, 5 and 15 subcapital ships to enter or exit Pochven. For our purposes the destination system does not matter at all. Just buy the cheapest filament. It is also good idea to buy an exit filament so you can get out easily. | |||
==== Wormholes ==== | |||
[[File:210405_POCHVEN_WORMHOLE_b.jpg|thumb|Pochven wormholes]] | [[File:210405_POCHVEN_WORMHOLE_b.jpg|thumb|Pochven wormholes]] | ||
Another way to enter Pochven is through wormholes. Entering through wormholes instead of using filaments has two benefits: no fleet size limit and no wait timer. Finding Pochven wormhole connections will require some scanning probe work. These wormholes spawn randomly in systems that are within 3 jumps from the original position of the Pochven system. These wormholes can also have Triglavian and EDENCOM rats guarding it. Wormholes leading into and out of Pochven will have a unique appearance, a blue ice and rock formation shaped like a giant dragon's claw. | Another way to enter Pochven is through wormholes.

== Leeching off kills == | |||
Pochven systems have roaming fleets from multiple factions. They kill each other. | |||
If you activate an offensive module on a rat and that rat is killed by NPC you will gain standings. | |||
This can be used to get standing if you are not able to kill rats on your own, or if you want to get bigger standing ticks than what the smallest drones give. | |||
This is quite an unreliable method as the roaming rats may not meet each other or they may not be "active" if players are not present. | |||
* Grab a T1 EWAR frigate. Fit one EWAR module and sensor boosters for extra targeting range. ( [[Vigil]] has the longest range EWAR possible when fitted appropriately ) | |||
* Enter Pochven. | |||
* Use d-scan to find a target. Stations and customs offices are a good start. | |||
* Warp to the rat at 100 KM, apply EWAR to biggest ship you see, and warp out. | |||
Eventually that rat will probably die and you get the standings. | |||
