Increase rank by disabling ships 100+ ranks higher without using artifacts.

===============================================================

Frankly, any of these values can be changed, simply the concept which I'm suggesting.

This is actually a brilliant idea for a ally and is a idea that would get more people into high level PvP, although the requirements to level it up are WAY too easy. The buffs are a cool idea but when your spamming a hundred attacks a minute then they could get OP and of course your alert log I don't doubt will go nuts.

It only renews it, it doesn't add another 5%/10% on top of it.

The % could be changed to say, 2% - which would be a lot more balanced. Also, I'd suggest that the rank 100 version block say 450 damage instead of the same value.

Of course, I'm guessing the stats would be gradient, not just these milestones. Gaining 1 attack per rank seems pretty weak though - I'd like it to give slightly more attack than that (2 per rank would be more substantial) as well as a higher hull stat.

In addition, I'd suggest that when the fighter blocks an attack, the module takes damage - forcing it to be repaired after 10 blocks. That'd make it slightly more costly to work with, and help balance things out a little.

What I meant was because of the volume of attacks, this buff will almost always be activated.

since no one pointed it out yet...the top 4 rank players can't even rank this once. Need I say more than that?

Then suggest a better ranking method?

How's this?

Ranking up require say 10 exp/rank
players with 40%+ higher rank gives 10 exp each
players with 25-40% higher rank gives 5 exp each
players with 0-25% higher rank gives 2 exp each
players with 0-20% lower gives 1 exp each

somewhat unfair for the top players (require 1000 disables of peers... kinda hard) but.... doable.

would that be kill them, they repair and then get killed again, or following the same idea as with red badges (24 hour rule) ?

Red badge isn't 24 hours....
but yeah, i think it needs to be a badging disable too, farming is bad XD

Ok, so you rank this critter by disabling someone over your rank without nerfing them... Wait till someone hits you, alert them and have someone else in your legion nerf the crap out of the target. Play your cards right and a legion could concievably have their entire roster reach rank 100 critters within a couple days.

change it to no active debuffs maybe?
doesnt stop someone softening the target first though.

no active player debuff and have not been CM/torpedoed in the last half hour.

not a lot of ways to soften up a ship other than those.

Then when you have the guy almost dead someone else finds him and decides to toss an EMP at him and blows your shot... I just don't see any way of making the ranking requirement work without it being too hard or too easy. Just doesn't look like there is any happy medium.

now you are just being pessimistic, chance of that is too low to be of any significance, in the scope of 100-1000 disables, this won't even happen 5% of the time, does it really matter?
you would have a better chance of encounering halcs for chicken's sake, why aren't you complaining about that?

Darth, instead of providing destructive criticism on one part of the idea and dismissing the whole thing, how about providing an alternative to make the idea plausible? Is that too hard?

Yeah cause that happens all the time...

Then again i haven't been at the top yet.
