UP / Income Ranking?

[Darkalbino]

Dont think it would hurt, would encourage growth. Just as Ranked ME encouraged random massings.

Thoughts?

example:

Turn Income Production: 26,057,198,325 Naquadah (in 8 minutes) Ranked: 415
Unit Production 360,000 /day (1,988,200 total) Ranked: 48

I think that would put a strain on the server unnecessarily ....

[Darkalbino]

It would change when all the other ranks change, which take a good minute or two into turn change.

I like the idea.

I have a personal dislike for ME. Since there's no negative values, you just do damage wherever, whenever, and get more points. Pointless and skill-less, but none the less, people still do it

As Starscr3am said, ranking already is delayed be at least 2 mins into the turn anyway. What's the big difference between 2 mins, and 3? Since it doesn't really have any major affect, accept though hanging around the various G&R marks...

I like it. Even if it was just updated daily pretty cool idea.

[RoKeT]

i think it's a cool idea

I don't see the point to it.

1. It will put more traffic on the server.
2. You are NEVER going to tell anyone your rank – EVER

Why won’t you do it? Simple.

Person: Oh oh oh, I have rank 1 UP
Me: WOOT, hello raiding target!

Alternatively

Person: Oh oh oh, I have rank 1 income
Me: WOOT, hello supplemental income provider – aka farm

And as a bonus should those people EVER put up a defence, simply means hello more ME.

So really, I don’t see a point to it except as adding more random massings.

That made me laugh

[Sammael]

point he has a point but on the other hand it makes you feel better and know where abouts u are with it

It wouldnt be something to brag about, just something to know how far up in the mix you are. I have always prided myself on my large UP and would love to know how many others are above. This would motivate me to increase it. And sure, I know a few 500mil + with 3mil + ups. Doesnt mean im going to mass them so I can raid them. But I see your point and respect it. As previously mentioned even if it updated once a day I wouldnt mind.

[Tekki]

If it's just for you then that's still a bit of waste.

I mean I look at the stats you gave, and you know what I see there? Beyond a raiding target? A planet donation target.

[Sarevok]

So your saying that Defense rank, Covert rank, and MS rank, are all useless too? Since broadcasting any of these ranks is pretty much saying "Come get some"...

Edit:
Along with removing all stats on ascended, since everything is pretty much fair game on there, except undeveloped planets...

[BenjaminMS]

Waste of server bandwidth IMHO, and completely unnecessary.

Hey! I like sitting with rank 1 assassins. Don't take that off me!

[Sarevok]

just post your ID, and find out how safe they are lol.

If you wouldn't want to post your income/UP rank, then there's no point to any rank in ascended, since a similar thing would happen
