Talk:Jump clones

Isn't there a second company that we have JC status with?

Connections counts for your own standings

Someone recently told me that when grinding up one's own standings with an NPC corporation, an unmodified standing of 8.0 or higher is needed, and that Connections doesn't help with this. However, I have now observed that my alt, Leonard Chong, has unmodified standings of 7.75 with Pator Tech School, that Connections 3 raises this to 8.02, and my alt was able to install a jump clone at a Pator Tech station without any problems. So, if you're grinding your own standings with an NPC corp to get jump clones of your own, then Connections will help you.

It is not clear to me, though, whether or not Connections would help if a player doesn't have standings with an NPC corp, but his/her player corporation does. I'm guessing it doesn't, but I haven't tested it.

If you're getting access to a medical facility based on your personal standings, Connections is taken into account. If you're getting access based on the standings of your corporation, Connections is not taken into account. Connections (and Diplomacy and Criminal Connections) only works for your personal standings; these skills are never applied to the standings of corporations.
