EVE Online Standings with connections/diplomacy Calculator


You can use the below calculator to figure out how much of an impact getting the next level of connections or diplomacy will do to your current standings.


The bold number is what you change to your current effective standing.


level 1   10 - (10 - 2.99) * 0.96 = 
level 2   10 - (10 - 2.99) * 0.92 = 
level 3   10 - (10 - 2.99) * 0.88 = 
level 4   10 - (10 - 2.99) * 0.84 = 
level 5   10 - (10 - 2.99) * 0.8 = 


So for example if you want to see what connections 3 gives you, copy and paste this into google


10 - (10 - 2.99) * 0.88 =


Google will report back with


10 - ((10 - 2.99) * 0.88) = 3.8312


Basically you will have 3.83 standing if you have connections level 3 and your current effecting standing is 2.99


Note eve may round up the number to next highest number so results may vary slightly.

Xbox360 Will not install game? hangs freezes etc

Recently my xbox 360 randomly refused to install final fantasy 13-2 for no apparent reason. Thankfully I have discovered an unusual fix to this most annoying of issues.

This issue is the process of installing the game never starts, it just hangs, the disk does not spin and the process stays at 0%. I can confirm its safe to just hit the off button and do the below fix. (nothing else you can do as the back button (pressing b) does not work.

To fix this issue simply log out of xbox live and install the game, job done, log back in and enjoy a great game of whatever :)

Hope this helped.
