Achievements/Statistics

Excuse my ignorance but will ED keep track of accomplishments through achievements or statistics?

I'm not looking for pro-active achievements that players will chase ("Oh, I have to kill seven more Thargoids to get "The Terminator" achievement!!") but more reactive so that I can look back on my adventures during a nice glass of Leestiian Evil Juice, and reflect on the number of ships I have destroyed/captured, the number of systems I have visited, the number of dockings etc, etc.

There are "stats" already in the Alpha. These count things like credits earned, deaths, kills, murders, etc....

As far as "achievements" are concerned, a la Steam achievements, I hope we don't have things like "Kill 10 Anacondas", "Ram 5 other players" types of things.

There's always your in-game log if the game doesn't track such things and I am sure some bright spark will write a parser to keep track of stuff.

I'm beginning to realise just how much stuff I have to look forward to in Premium Beta that you Alpha backers have already. :D

We don't have that yet - it's a feature to be implemented.

When Premium Beta launches you should see new stuff at the same time as us.

Exciting times :)

Yes, but I currently have no option for landing gear or even a station in my content. I have to joyously pick my way through that (and practise docking) before I even venture to other systems.

Resetting of Progress/achievement

Does anyone know if the achievements each player has built up during the Alpha/Beta testing will be reset back to the start when ED is released.
Or if there is a imposed "reset" when moving from Alpha to Beta.

reason for asking is it may make some players trying to gain an upper hand, when we should really be testing the game. i.e. stop killing everything in sight to gain credits as they won't be available when we take the game live.

These statistics that are available now quite sufficient. Introducing general statistics, rankings, boards for all players in ED will be in my opinion bad.
Such statistics make a sick atmosphere of the game.

I play now in the War Thunder, and I know something about this.

Personal awards and medals received for the execution of the mission would be a good idea :cool:

I agree. I've got nothing against personal stat tracking but it should b kept private, IMHO. Making it public will drive unsavory behavior as players attempt to pad out their kills.

There will be resets throughout alpha and both beta runs. Once gamma hits it's FD's intent not to reset, but (for example) an exploit would give cause to reset.

I don't quite know what will happen on 30 May, whether alpha players will be on different servers to beta, whether alpha will be reset and merged or if alpha players will get to keep all their credits and ship loadouts.

Yes to relevant statistics from natural readouts. No to giant flashy messages of "Achievement Gained".

Although I'm not allowed to complain if a more moderately presented "Right on Commander" pops up from somewhere. For that is as "Elite" as it gets... :p

I'd like a way to record who I have murdered and what fail fit abomination they were flying..

Killboard etc.

Achievements .... hmmmm

They aren't always a bad thing like anything else in the gaming industry with a bit of thought they could be well worth inclusion in the game as badges of merit of various types.

I totally agree though with not having your usual lazy or Grindy sorts.
