We have the combat rep, based on number of battles and kill:death ratio, but what about people who prefer to hack. You could have someone with a laughable combat rep, but 1000 hacks? There could be a way to represent this with a third title, based on successful hacks and hack defences VS Failed hacks and hacks received. They could be something like this (using the combat rep numbers).

-40 or worse: At risk
-39 to -20: Vulnerable
-19 to 10: Average
11 to 20: Coder
21 to 40: Scripter
41 to 80: Programmer
81 to 160: Developer
161 to 320: Hacker
321 or more: Expert Hacker

This is just a thought, because the best hacking ships usually aren't that well recognised, and if some SOB has stolen one of your planets, hacking them will affect their rep as well as disabling them.

Great idea. The names need more work though. There is also the fact that this is pretty much 'who gets the most TMs or spends their entire time waiting out the timer.'. My rep would be bad, so it would encourage me to start hacking. (I dunno, I'd probably be average/vulnerable?)

You also need better names than that. (No offense.) If you look at the combat names, they are more a personality or trait, rather than a job.


-50: At risk
-49 to -40: Vulnerable
-39 to -30: Insecure
-29 to -20: Questionable
-19 to 10: Average
11 to 20: Capable
21 to 40: Effective
41 to 80: Accomplished
81 to 160: Masterful
161 to 320: Ingenious
321+: Phenomenal

+1

-40 or worse: At risk
-39 to -20: Vulnerable
-19 to 50: Average
51 to 200: Coder
201 to 400: Scripter
401 to 800: Programmer
801 to 1600: Developer
1601 to 3200: Downloader
3201 to 4000: Hacker
4001 to 4500: security menace
4501 to 5000: Expert Hacker
5001+ : Anonymous

Current ranking would be this

1. Iron Talon Lazuli Fixer 5039----- Anonymous
2. Krauzen Konqul Fixer 4382----- Security menace
3. Derick Allen Sillixx Explorer 3845----- Hacker
4. Timinski Hama Konqul Fixer 3191----- Downloader

So for me, In the BT I'd show up as veteran/deadly/HACK TITLE

The scaling could be for Dan to work out. But here's some other title's that I've thought of:

Defenceless
Pirate/ Piracy King
Bypasser
Stealthy
Cracker
Spammer

interesting idea tho all names should be hacker bases like things not sure what but a hacker isn't deadly just stealthy or such anyways minor thing would rather have other things first.

If we had hacking reputations we would have to have raiding reputations...
