This messes with my sense of order.
Looking at Koro his standings show approximately -6 towards the Republic and the Gallente as well as the fact that he is now -6 CONCORD status making him an Outlaw.
Mind you if a Republic big shot got nuked and set the guy/s doing it -ve whatever to the Republic I'd go "Action has concequences cool", though this would have to apply across the board.
What confuses me is why CONCORD considers just this Republic whatnot of such importance that such a sec hit is warranted.
This of course also goes for the Gallente. Considering how it happened it gets curious as it must be a hardwired CONCORD and Gallente response in reaction to the destruction of this Republic ship.
That girl sure must be important. Or rather her ship.
What we have is two, from the Republic, independent factions nuking Koro/Drake and Bomas standings at the same time that the Republic hammers them.
I reiterate:
Why would CONCORD or the Federation care to such an extent about some Minnie fleet commander getting blown up. I mean they don't get this irate if you shoot NPC:s of comparable rank. Or FW players of high rank do they ?
If they did I missed it.
A question to those who have shot at Sansha stuff lately: Have you been branded the same way in regards to your Sansha standings and their main ally ?
If yes then all is well, if not then it reinforces my belief that this is a "Left hand did something Right hand doesn't know about".
Or simply a rage reaction from the actor for being shot to shit instead of gloriously being able to swan around space unimpeded fawned over by the plebs surrounding her.
What I'm getting at is that organisations don't just do shit on the fly. Especially not military or police such. There are strict protocols that get followed.
If they apply to situation A then they'll be applied to all other such situations.
Probably because Sansha is a threat to everyone. If you side with Sansha against one, they're probably assuming you're siding with Sansha against all. All four Empires united against Nation before, its not unreasonable to think they would take a similar stance against Nation now, if only in sharing information on Sansha sympathizers.
Also, CONCORD is against Nation. You aid Nation, they'll set you hostile. Makes sense to me.
Moreover, Republic and Federation standings are linked. They're allies. Gottii's got a Fed standings rating over 8.0, but I've never ran a Fed mission in my life, just all the Minmatar missions that bumped up the Fed standings. Makes sense they're linked on negative standings as well.
