Statistics naming

[Fyrd Judge]

Should commander's names that top any of the statistics in any category in the panel have their names on billboards in stations for all to see, informing us all of their deeds?


It has come to the point where some have all the high ranks that can be gained in Elite, Elite ranks and power ranks and the only thing left to aim for is to try position ourselves at the top of one of the statistics categories and that is regarded a far harder a challenge than gaining any of the High ranks in Elite which all can get, only one commander can gain top position in any of the statistic categories. I think they should be rewarded for their endurance to the game and it will drive others into another grind fest (which FD will like) if they know they can get their names broadcasted to the community.



So what do you think should we be doing this?

It would be better if my holo-me would gather on the corners of surface installions along with all the other stat-es.

Meh, leaderboards in a non-linear game. I barely care about them in games with much tighter metrics and actual player competition.

Still, some merit to the idea, as a living breathing game no?

If there was a CG, the Holo Mes and Names of the Top 10 Cmdrs could appear on Bill Boards at the Hosting stations.

The Top Cmdrs Merit wise for the last cycle at the HQ Stations.

Less a Leader Board and more a Noting player actions in game

I can see its merits for other players, and for those who enjoy ranking systems and such it could be a worthy addition as a goal-setter. For myself however it would just accentuate the "gameyness" of the game, so to speak.

Heh fair enough

I was picturing Cheesey Ads with Cmdrs used as Endorsement s for in game companies and Powers


During the [CG Name]
Top Cmdrs like [Cmdr Name]

Same here. I don't really care if anyone else knows whether I have triple elite status or not, or if I have more time invested into my account than anyone else does. We already know where all of our in-game friends rank with all of these various stats.

Seeing a bunch of impossible to pronounce commander names I have never heard of before on a billboard along with their stats isn't going to make any impression on me one way or the other. [blah]

I don't think we particularly need to put FDev into the business of stroking epeens. That's what Youtube is for, and plenty of folks don't seem to have any issues in using it for that purpose.

I personally couldn't care less what everyone else is doing, or what they've done, or how good they are at it. I certainly don't want to see that nonsense spammed on holo-billboards at the stations. And to be honest, this isn't the sort of game where a leaderboard would serve any useful purpose, especially when it'll just be yet another dead horse to beat in the Hotel California thread when it turns, inevitably, into a debate about open v. solo v. PG and why they all suck because reasons.

Some people need constant attention and pats on the back for doing things....

Leaderboards achieve absolutely nothing beyond the right to wave your e-peen around in everyone's face; I've never seen the point of them tbh.
