News Squadron Leaderboards - Season One ends soon!
- Thread starter Will Flanagan
- Start date
loged in again, didnt do the math but this time it was more than 50 at 700 tons. Doing next flight with different wares. Strange things. Thing was as i tested the 1 ton i got exactly 50 points no matter which profit. So mabe its 50 at one to x tons and at some point it swaps to 1 point per credit profit.
I tend to agree, not a fan of this "only top 3 squads win a prize" thing
The big squads seem to be way on top in this.
Introduce a you can only win it once rule.
I can confirm that Hutton have been pushing for the last 6 days to do well in the Trade table - we've logged 55 billion+ in VALUE of items sold and gone up exactly the same amount - it's taken a co-ordinated team of 50 or so people (everyone else in the group is either on DW2 or busy fighting thargoids, or repairing Wuli, or looking after our systems) to get where we are at the moment, but is 100% related to the VALUE of the profit you make - and void opals are this season's "must have" ornament for every cockpit. Nowt to do with number of transactions, or selling 1 at a time vs in a big lump - just pure hard graft!
yea that makes sence if its cordinated, just was getting suspecios of that hard jump. Congrats. So mine is trade and there is absolutly no solution to bet it with Trade cause there is no ware you can make 1.7 mil Profit or 100% Profit a ton. Kind of pure design to count a 100% profit from mine to trade, But it´s like that, its missing a mining category than. In other ways bought comoditys dosen´t coun´t for CG´s.
Mabe it´s time for a rescue Operation too get those Truckers out of the Slavery at the mining Ships.

What about PvP? Thats a feature of ED too. No, CQC doesn't count.

Correct. For Trading LB 1 Cr of profit = 1 point.
Transactional model is used purely for Political LB, where 1 sale of 100 tonnes of cargo gives THE SAME amount of points as 1 sale of 1 tonne (although as someone has pointed out that no longer may be the case), therefore it's better to do 100 transactions of 1 tonne, than 1 transaction of 100 tonnes. The question was asked on many occasions, but FDEV have never confirmed if this is bug or feature. We treat it as a feature until told otherwise.
That's however only 1 piece of the puzzle, there are at least 5 other factors that come into play here. Or at least we are aware of 5 other factors for Political - which seems to be the most complex of all the boards. I am not the one that's figured it all out, so I don't feel authorised to give out any more details - and those can be VERY specific at times
I will however let my community decide via a poll if they want to share the knowledge and if so - I will translate our political LB guide to share with everyone
We've also have Combat LB figured out quite well, so if my guys will say yes, I will also provide that.
And - while I really do like LB's as a feature - I don't think we will be actively competing in Season 2. Meta will be known by then and rather than trying to understand how it works before others do, I presume it will be just pure grind. Whoever will put more hours is going to win. Simple as that.
Correct. Our Squadron on XBOX has 9 people and we will win bronze political trophy there
PS4 Squadron has 20-odd people and we have gold political and silver CQC there.
PC is large - fair enough - but far from 500 (actually 249) and we have gold Political and gold Combat there.
So no, saying that only 500 people Squadrons can win is not really true.

Correct. The advantage at the moment comes from working out how the scoreboards work, and then gaming the leaderboards. Until all players have this information, the number of players or amount of game time will not dictate who wins.

Is there really nothing more involved, significant and interesting that can be designed and developed for Squadrons than (grind) leader boards? - Am I the only one shaking my head with this sort of stuff getting added?

No.
But it makes some people happy I guess.
Hopefully squadrons will have another purpose soon, and it doesn't become like so many features of E: D... implemented in a basic form, and then forgotten about until years later.
