[UI] NPC's, Leaderboard/rank & high level players

I think that the rewards for being good at NPC's or for higher ranking (UFE) players should be designed specifically towards PvP...Especially now, since the emerging light and all the other updates that lean towards a PvE game...

For instance; there are a number of old school players that are good on ranks but cannot last in a fight against newbies (mentioning no names ). This is probably the reverse of what people usually say but it has become so much more prevalent recently and I believe it's unfair and that the top player should have an edge over newbs with regards to hp, shield, firepower, damage and/ or unique skills.

 

Uh... Ranking means literally nothing in this game? Majority of the top ranks like 99 percent are bots, there's not many skill based players in this game, cheating, botting, spending your life savings, does nothing but get you equipment and ranks, but not skill.

 

Yeah, I'd like that. Really annoying to read in chat and hear people complaining about not being able to do enough gates to boost their rank points up.

I believe he's saying that the Ranking system should remove NPCs from the equation, and soley base it off PvP activities.

 

Yes, quite right...And the other thing that wastes an old school player is shared boosters...But hey, that's a different topic!
Dark Orbit...Hasn't rewarded its long term players...Instead it has hurt their loyalty by rubbishing their ranks, letting newbies to the game pop them with shared boosters , given away better lazers that the old school players spent years, or equally expenseivly upgrading the lazers to level 16.
The rank points a player can make in no time at all, that an old school took years building is unfair.
The list goes on...
Sorry for errors just cant be bothered to proof read atm...

 

Good point Zynaps. As a minimum, they could give the same thing to longer term players.... they could be used to outfit a smaller ship to mess around with.
