This could just be me but since I ramped up to 3k+ scan i've noticed an inverse result on my BT.

before 3k scan BT range : ~280-450

after 3k scan BT range : ~220-350 <- been like this for a couple of months now, ill occasionally get someone over 400, but those are extremely rare (1-3/week)

anyone else notice something similar to this? or is my BT just... "nice"? I try not to mess with anyone 100+ levels under me, but its not giving me much choice.
so if you get pissed at me, well................this^^

Alot of people seem to have this issue at varying scan levels. It's strange, but what can you do?

yea did that, but then we got the "state of the PvP" address lol. I get the whole this is a war game approach, and i get the idea of "old school / new shool" vs. "etiquitte" thing, but I really have no interest in slapping around lowbies that dont really have much of a chance on fighting back on their own.

I know what you mean..couple of times I suggested BT should be changed with images to prove but nothing yet..I'm rank 812 and still see tons of ppl on my bt in their high 400's..and they stand no chance..Its just not right.. but hey that's just my opinion..

This.

Actually works. After enough you start seeing higher ranks. Went from an average of 380 up to over 600.
Also got the occasional 800-1100.

Alright, but I can't guarantee that you'll come out of it without EMP damage, our crew seems to love playing catch with EMP Spheres. One or two might get lodged in your hull on the way by, nothing personal ;)

i think the solution would be to have the rank gap reduced as you go up in ranks.. at rank 100 it decreases 5% (not 5% of 40, but a solid 5% off of 40, for a differential of 35%)
@ 200, another 5%, so 30%
@300, same, 25%
@400, same, 20%
@500, 10%, down to 10% rank differential. so your rank 500, you can see a bottom of 450
then just leave it at a nice 10% differential for the rest of the game.
that way no one will be complaining about being bullied by the higher ranks.

And those on the top who have 10 people within their badge range now have 0...little guys can deal with it. If they don't want to be hit, hit back and hit back hard or wear a halcyon.

The current active top 7 players by rank would have between 5 and 7 people on their BT at a 10% spread. Whereas at the current 40% they have over 50. So yeah, they pretty much would lose their BT.

As already stated, it's fine the way it is. People just need to stop getting butthurt so much.
