[SC] RANK POINTS PAGE

Should the 'Destroyed by enemies' be increased from x4 upto around x1000 or higher?
The reason being this would dramatically reduce the rank points of AFK players so popping an AFK players 100 times a day will reduce its rank points by 100k whilst not affecting everyone else.
Just an idea to stop these botters from gaining rank when everyone else is offline.

 

Except that would really hurt us f2p, non-UFE (old and new) players who are constantly hunted and popped. Would not be able to make even basic ranks.
It's bad enough our rank points are impacted x4 when we got popped by UFE hunters.

 

No it wouldnt it would actually increase your rank because about 1000 ships above you would be losing hundreds of thousands per day i.e. the botts. So yes it may decrease you rank initially (as it did when they removed streuners and lords from the rank calculation) but over time it will benefit you hugely.

 

A regular player will get popped around 10-20 times a day but a bot will get popped easily over 100 times a day so its win win for legit players.

 

Interesting, would you mind telling me which server it is you can pop a bot 100 times a day, I want to start an account there.
I've been frustrated when trying to hunt bots due to how hard many of them are to catch. Most bots i see go for hours and hours without even being bothered by hunters. the hunters can't be bothered chasing bots that have "enemy detection" and are running to portal before you can even get a lock on them.

Recently I warped to a clan base in an enemy X-7, I flew straight to the top portal close behind a few enemy (trying to catch one of them). By the time i reached the portal there were 15 Cyborgs, all in wheel formation sitting on the portal. Not one of these ships engaged me, not one ventured off the portal for the few minutes i sat there. I repeated this 4 or 5 times over the next hour (while the base was down) with the same result each time.
I have wheel formation but am still usually unable to catch these "players" because they begin to run away well before i can get in range to hamper their escape and kill them.

 

Jump in a fast, hard hitting ship like pusat, use wheel formation urself and cut the way to the gates etc...
Or use lightning with its speed ability.
Put all slows u have got if needed.
(Eg. ice rocket plus slow mine in front/under the slowed ship)

Using right tactics, you can easily kill most of the bots.
Just keep in mind that killing the same account too many times a day will put u and him both in pushing ban risk.

 

dont warp to the map, go through the portal and any bots will then run to port, some towards you and others will run to the other port so if possible hunt in pairs, each of you enter the map from a different portal and then that way all the bots have to run towards one of you. Or go 4x maps as you an corner them in there. its very very easy to get around 200 kills per day just by hunting bots and this also saves on ammo.
