We all know at low ranks you can get an insane rep with a tin can, so it's really quite meaningless. You can NPC with a pretty awful ship, and rack up the battles and end up with Grand Legend/Insane with a pile of junk. What I would like to reccomend is on the ship stats you can see a "threat rating". This takes you stats, and their stats and compares them.

Screenshots coming soon.

It sounds like you can use Spy Probes for what you're talking about.

Did someone say screenshot?

Personally, I don't think the idea is really needed, for exactly what FerrusManus said.

i like. i wanna be lethal or unkillable

I'm not a big fan of the proposed new threat rating. That said, I think their should be a new rating after insane. It could be psychotic or psychopath. Could be inhuman. The only limits are the ones you impose due to your lack of a thesaurus. I mention this only because I passed the insane mark so long ago that I want a new shiny to differentiate me from all of the captains hovering around the edge of being insane. It just doesn't seem right that someone who's killed a couple hundred should have the same rating as me when I've broken the 1k barrier.

*deposits two cents*

-1
it would make probe useless if they aren't already useless enough
I would rather dan add something like shield probe and hull probe, perhaps as drop or CT or whatever as those would be a bit more useful than atk/def probe.

oh, and for low lvls, their officer amount and other passive boosts are probably pretty limited so.... install some scanners and check out their modules!

do i get.....

dont mess with this Mother F####r!

threat rating?

+1 I like the idea, one can never have enough prestige .

you may have to settle for "unlikeable"

I think the players name works just fine... After some time in the BT you will know who is a pain in the a%^ to kill and who badges you back. If your looking for a cheep kill find some one who's name you dont know. Out of my BT there is about a half dozen ppl i avoid not cause I cant kill them just that I can kill 4 people with the nrg that it takes to take them out, and the 4 other people will mot return the hit.

This could be the reason why I rarely get badge tagged... Because I hit back. Hard. Lately, I've gotten even more violent and started zeroing for badge hits. Or at least until my TMs run out or I get bunny locked. Is it a d**k move? Maybe, but most aren't stopping by to dance a second time. Which reminds me....

Anyway, yeah... This isn't really needed. You have spy probes (but who actually uses those?? lol) and a reputation (earned through personal experience, not your combat rep). -1

Zeroing off badge hits.... I'm worried about you Darth. I know you went to the dark side and all, became a sith. But your becoming a violent bad a#^ who scars people , A terror in the Bt , A nightmare come to life, That guy that all the GL girls seem to like.....

Is that what you wanted ..

-1 so pointless


O no you have great stats and are very powerful for your level. So what? You aren't satisfied that the game doesn't recognize your efforts? Big whoop. Don't waste Dan's time with meaningless things for your ego.

lol whatever

Bravo
