Getting positive Triglavian and EDENCOM standings: Difference between revisions

Roaming [[Triglavian Collective]] and [[EDENCOM]] ships are aggressive and dangerous to all players who do not have positive standings with them.

Most often these rats appear in [[Triglavian minor victory]] systems, [[EDENCOM systems]] and in [[Pochven]]. But randomly spawning wormholes can cause Triglavians to spawn in normal systems that are close to the old position of a detached Pochven system.  '''This was confirmed recently when the Triglavians attacked capsuleers in Perimeter, due to its close proximity to the Pochven system of [https://evemaps.dotlan.net/system/Sakenta Sakenta].  

This guide explains how to get positive standings with both Triglavian and EDENCOM factions.

'''Avoid destroying EDENCOM and Triglavian ships.'''

Killing EDENCOM ships results in positive Triglavian standing gain, but it will also result in equal negative standing gain towards EDENCOM. This is not good.

Killing Triglavian rats results in negative Triglavian standing gain, but it will also result in equal positive standing gain towards EDENCOM. This is not good.

Killing Rogue Drones, Sleepers or Drifters in Pochven results in positive standings gains to both EDENCOM and the Triglavians. This is good.

The bigger the drone or ship, the larger the standings gain. Rogue Drones give least standing, Sleepers give more and Drifters give the most.

If the system has no targets to kill you'll have to exit and try again with another filament. If you have probes you can use wormhole exit to skip 15 minute wait in between filament uses.

Standings points are given to pilots who engaged a target with an offensive module (weapons or EWAR) 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 ticks that begins after the first target in system is destroyed.  At the end of the tick cycle, standings points are awarded from the biggest kill that the pilot participated in during that cycle.  During this 10-minute cycle, several targets may be destroyed in 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 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 standing tick and then kill the second target.

For example, a fleet of Nagas and Vigils land at a Torpid Sleeper combat site and target, engage, and destroy 3 Sleeper ships (a Hypnosian Avenger (frigate +0.093 standings points), Hypnosian Agonizer (frigate +0.093 standings points), and a Hypnosian Upholder (cruiser +0.108 standings 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, a fleet of Nagas and Vigils and Cormorants land at the Vale stargate, target, engage, and destroy 1 Interfering Phase-II Legionary (drone +0.03 standings points), 1 Vexing Phase-IV Legionary (drone +0.059standings points), and 1 Overmind Interruptor Lamda (battleship +0.20 standings 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, a 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 th 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.

The other way of entering Pochven is through wormholes. Entering through wormhole instead of filament has multiple benefits: No fleet size limit and no need to wait timers. The problem is that finding Pochven connections will require more work. These wormholes sapwn randomly in system that are within 3 jumps from the original position of the Pochven system. The wormhole can also have Triglavian and EDENCOM rats guarding it. See [https://pochven.electusmatari.com/ Pochven Entry Manual] for more details on how to easily find suitable wormholes.

* EDENCOM Scout Fleet.  This combat site contains EDENCOM ships.  Destroying them yields negative standings points with EDENCOM.

* Stellar Fleet Deployment Site. This combat site contains Triglavian ships.  Destroying them yields negative standings points with Triglavians.

* Observatory Flashpoint. This combat site contains a EDENCOM dreadnaught, which can be destroyed by larger, more powerful player fleets, but yeilds large negative standings points to the EDENCOM faction.

* World Ark Assault Flashpoint.  This combat site contains the Xordazh World Ark, which can be destroyed by larger, more powerful player fleets, but yeilds large negative standings points to the Triglavian faction.

If you have 0.00 standing (or close to it) with EDENCOM and Triglavians then Rogue Drones are good target for you. If you never lost any standing with Triglavians or EDENCOM then just a single drone kill is enough to make both factions neutral to you.
