Rather than a turret ship showing the highest standing, the passenger should be reduced to whatever the pilots standing is. This would prevent dislike pilots from using higher standing bots/accounts as a shield to protect themselves. If a gunner chooses to ride with a dislike or neutral pilot they should run the risk of having the pilots standing.

I didn't realize this was possible. I now plan to tank a lot of standings with it. Wonder if I can create a f2p account that has admired with a name that is a space or a '.' so people won't notice?

-1 Hoban, I suggested that a few weeks ago, but it was -1 by many, including you and yours...

I think INC's fix was a good balance between all the suggestions.

and, yt, the benefit of INC's fix is that you and yours cannot tank peoples standing anymore.

Information is good, nobody should be in the dark (or as it was before, misled) about what the consequences of kills will be. But that's as far as it needs to go, changing standing based on who you're gunning for is just retarded. If someone wants to hire a player with relevant standing as a shield, that's the market at work.

Note that this still assumes turrets and SF target based on standing of everyone. Hated pilots shouldn't be bypassing NPC defenses just because they have an admired gunner, nor should hated gunners be skating through in an admired pilot's ship.

oh, but i can tank with the new method. And I shall demonstrate it (purely for research purposes of course).
