I was farmed by this player earlier, whom is unascended. I checked out the rank around 20:35/20:40, it was at 50K 50,133 to be exact. which i thought as wierd, but I guess can believe it

so I checked the target and got the ?? on his stats. had a friend spy him and turns out his covert is over 11T so I started checking by hitting him:

I checked the target at 20:57 game time (3 mins prior to TC) - Ranked 50,133 with a 4T defense multiple other attacks past the following TC produced same result

Checked again at 21:04- still 4T defense- still ranked 50,133 once again, multiple attacks, same result


visited a couple more times at the 21:35TC still ranked 50,133 with same stats. still multiple attacks with same result

seems a little fishy to me? especially since his defense wasnt bieng repaired.. started at 4.2 on my first hit at 20:57 and was at 3.9 by my last hit at 21:35, and my strike wasnt high enough to kill any of the enemy units.

Yeah, seems a little impossible there. Maybe he cheated to stay unnoticed?

I am surprised by such a low rank. Maybe no Mothership bought (thus zero power) and no strike built? (I'm on PPT cannot check him)

he had a small strike...

perhaps a rank bug?

I've got 12 weaps and 29 shields on my MS W/ 0 fleets (house bonus in Forgotten Prospects negates it most of the time so I use resources elsewhere), and 0 strike, 0 defense, 0 covert, 0 anti covert and im still ranked at 22K

He messaged me back and said it's because he doesnt have a mothership. but still with a 4T defense, an 11T covert and a small strike built, I cant imagine you'd be ranked at anywhere below 30K with anything built. I started this game (part time) back in december, and started by creating my own account. I went 2 weeks without a MS on that first account, never once dropped below 35K, and I never went into the trillions with ANY stats. unless that MS update doubled or more than doubled the effect of the MS rank on the overall rank.

My buddy saw a strike too, so could be a bug. either way it'd probably be a good idea for admin to run a check and get the problem solved. LOL, if it's legit I wanna know how to do it! betcha there would be some good raid targets there if ya got to looking!

There are many people with 0 defs, there are quite a few people with small strikes, and quite a few people with low coverts.

There are very, very few people with 0 MS power. Thus he is guaranteed the lowest rank in the game for MS.

That low rank could possibly pull down his overall stats...

With no strike I get rank 11,000. And spy and see if it says "Ypu notice that the docking is empty". If it doesn't then I see no problem

just seemed wierd to me that with This MS: MotherShip Action 276,475,000 and those stats I would be ranked at 1,400 ish, but he's got those stats with no MS and is ranked 50,000? that last MS update must have made the MS worth about half your rank, cause I was playing on a newly created account over the winter and went the first 3 weeks and none of my stats went past 1T, but i was NEVER ranked that low when I had anything built.

I asked about it, without referring to this thread:

his answer was that he has no mothership.

I figured as much, it must have been the mothership update that changed it from when I was mothership-less lol
