Thread: Friday Feature January 28th Faction Standings Chart

Nym's will occaisionally attack you even with full +5000 faction. Nightsisters/ Spring Mountain clan always try to kill you regardless of how +5000 is supposed to react. There are probably other cases that I can't remember as well. This really needs to be reworked, or at the very least given a proper look at by someone.

The other problem is the word usually I just used. The rule with this chart is : "Killing faction's NPCs from the left column will lower your standing with the faction of the left and right column. It will also raise your standing with the faction from the central column." That's alaways correct.
However killing faction's NPCs from the central column won't always raise your standing with the faction from the left column. Best examples are Hutt and Naboo.
Killing Hutt will lower your standing with Hutt and raise your standing with Naboo Security Force, Nym, Imperial, Corsec,Narmle Police Forces. But killing Naboo Security Force, Nym, Imperial, Corsec,Narmle Police Forces won't raise your Hutt faction standing.
Killing Naboo will lower your standing with Naboo and raise your standing with Borvo. But killing Borvo won't raise your Naboo faction standing.
This is completely correct and I think to clarify this we can just say this is a one way table. Kill left column, lose left and right column, gain middle column. Period.Don't ever assume it goes the other way. To use the example:
Hutt's enemies are: Naboo Security Force, Nym, Imperial, Corsec,Narmle Police Forces
Hutt's enemies are: Jabba, Borvo
Therefore I should always get positive enemy faction for killing a hut (exactly as stated above) and negative Hut, Jabba and Borvo. However:
Naboo Security Force's enemies are: Borvo, Naboo Pirate, Plasma Thief, Swamp Rat, Trade Federation
Nym's enemies are: Bloodrazor, Canyon Corsair
Corsec's enemies are: Afarathu, Followers of Lord Nyax, Monumenter, Rogue Corsec, Lost Aqualish Regiment
Narmle Police Forces' enemies are: Spice Collective, Kobola
None of these mobs will get you positive Hutt faction because they don't have Hutt in any oftheir ownenemy lists. If you look you find the same is true for the Naboo/Borvo relationship.
It is always dependent on the left column.
I agree that this statement from the FF is completely incorrect:
"To raise or lower your Faction standings with any faction group ("Faction Name" column), you must kill faction enemies to gain their support (the factions listed in the "Faction Enemy" column)."
