security status eve online

In EVE Online, the security status (sec status) of a player or NPC is a numerical value that reflects their behavior in high-security (high-sec) space. Here's a breakdown of how it works: Player Security Status (Sec Status) Ranges from -10.0 (most criminal) to +10.0 (most lawful). Positive sec status indicates lawful behavior (e.g., killing NPC pirates, avoiding illegal actions). Negative sec status results from illegal actions (e.g., attacking other players in high-sec, failing CONCORD retaliation). Effects of Negative Security Status Below -2.0: Can be legally attacked by anyone in high-sec without CONCORD intervention. Below -5.0: Considered a major criminal; high-sec gate and station guns will fire on you. Suspect Flag (-2.0 to -4.9): Players can attack you without penalty, but CONCORD wont intervene unless you commit a crime. Limited Docking: Some high-sec stations may refuse docking requests. How to Improve Security Status Kill NPC pirates in low/null-sec or wormholes (grants sec status increases). Complete security missions for factions. Wait for natural decay (sec status slowly rises over time if no crimes are committed). NPC & System Security Status High-Sec (1.00.5): CONCORD protects players; illegal actions trigger instant retaliation. Low-Sec (0.40.1): No CONCORD, but gate guns will attack aggressors. Null-Sec (0.0 and below): Lawless; no CONCORD or gate guns. Wormhole Space (Class 16): No security status system; always dangerous. Key Takeaways Negative sec status makes you a target in high-sec. Positive sec status helps avoid unwanted aggression. Pirate lifestyles require managing sec status carefully. Would you like details on specific mechanics (e.g., suspect timers, crimewatch)?
