Lost wayyy too much itani standing without a warning

Jan 09, 2005 macguy link
I just lost almost ALL of my itani standing, i was at around +960 killed a serco who must have had itani standing, and I am now at +64. First of all, I don't think I got a warning. Second(and i'm not posting this out of anger) that is way too much standing too lose especialy considering it was a serco with itani standing. I'll post the transcript of what happned, but i dont know where it is. I'm on a mac.

[Edit]Never mind, I did get a warning. But in the heat of battle, it's very hard to notice. I'd like to talk to a guide or a dev about my standing somewhere else then on the boards.(somewhere more private)

What do you mean? Did I miss something?

This is getting annoying. There's a lot of reports of Sercos getting high Itani standing and hanging around CtC zones in Itani space, thus making it impossible for an Itani to know what's going on.

I'm not so much angry that I lost standing, it's just HOW MUCH I lost! I mean come on, from around 960 down to 64, that's quite a bit.

If I was you, I'd worry more about the fact that it is possible for an itani to lose itani standing by killing a serco rather than the amount of standing you lost.
Then again, if I really was you, I do what you do, so I WOULD be more worried about the amount than the whole idea in general. What a dilema.

Either way, I wouldn't call this a bug. Unless I was you and you would call this a bug. Or something.

Yea, it's more like a can of worms the devs don't seem to want to open.

I'd call it something more in the line of "Another overly excited player begging for his standings back"

seconded.
900 is too harsh

I thought you want to write something like "uh that is unfair" or "hey serco shall be shot everywhere because this scum shall die" or so... but hey, read your Itani-mates posts in this thread and you know what I mean...

I am with you in this opinion, macguy.

And now the other poster here: if you kill an admired player, you deserve a faction hit.

> This is getting annoying. There's a lot of reports of Sercos getting high Itani standing and hanging around CtC zones in Itani space, thus making it impossible for an Itani to know what's going on.

yes... sure... I bet they always shoot everyone in Itani space and cannot be shot because of the standing they have. NO! If they would do that, they will lose the Itani standing. They DO NOTHING in Itani space. and if they do, they do ONCE (and are killed by guard bots). So do not whine about it.

> If I was you, I'd worry more about the fact that it is possible for an itani to lose itani standing by killing a serco rather than the amount of standing you lost.

Yeah right...
and what about trader?
what about explorer?
what about ANYONE that is not here to stupidly kill everyone but try to roleplay? or do prospection missions?

I am sure you will be glad to shoot this people everywhere thousands of times, because they are serco... idiotic.

It is called war for a reason.

Clam down NoAddedSugar. Everything has been fixed, I agree you should lose faction, even if it's stupid serco can get itani standing and vice versa. But 900 was too much. From moderator, lock or delete this thread please.
