Corporations generally build up relationships with other corporations, whether good or bad. A corporation will generally have one or more Diplomats whose job is to deal eith third parties on behalf of the corporation and to come to diplomatic agreements.

Standings

Generally diplomatic agreements involve corporations (or alliances) setting "standings" towards one another. Standings can be set either on a personal level (so only you can see them), a corporation level or at an alliance level. Standing can be set for individual players, for corporations and for alliances.

Standings are a way of indicating to your corporation members how a third party is viewed by the corporation. The standings will show up in the overview of members of the corporation as follows:

Icon Status Standing
ColorTag-PlusDarkBlue9.gif Excellent +10
ColorTag-PlusLightBlue9.gif Good +5
ColorTag-Neutral.gif Neutral 0
ColorTag-MinusOrange9.gif Bad -5
ColorTag-MinusRed9.gif Terrible -10

In terms of rules of engagement, most corporations fall into one of two categories:

NRDS - Not red, don't shoot: This means that members can only aggress other players who have 'red' standing (i.e. -5 or -10).
NBSI - Not blue, shoot it: This means that members can aggress any other players aside from those who has 'blue' standing (i.e. +5 or +10).

Checking standings

You can view corporation standings under CorporationIcon.pngCorporation window, Standings tab, Corporate Contacts tab. There is a search box that allows you to search for a person or corporation:

You can view alliance standings under CorporationIcon.pngCorporation window, Alliances tab, Alliance Contacts tab. Again there is a search bar to allow you to filter the results:

Setting standings

To set corporation or alliance standings towards a player, corporation or alliance, either right click their name in chat or a mail, and choose Add Corporation Contact or Add Alliance Contact. You can also open their information sheet, click the four bars the the top left and choose the same options.

You can also add a label, which may be useful in informing your corporation members why a particular standing has been set.

Once you have set standings, you can edit or remove them by right clicking their name in chat or a mail, and choose Edit Corporation Contact or Remove Corporation Contact. You can also open their information sheet, click the four bars the the top left and choose the same options.

Note: Standings are one-way only. The player, corporation or alliance will not see what standings you have set for them, and will not automatically set your corporation at the same standings. If you have come to an agreement with another corporation or alliance it is important to ensure that they have also set the appropriate standings towards your corporation or alliance, to avoid any misunderstandings later on.
