have individual ranks in ME.

i men most people dont give a f about ME but say someone like colton, he may like to know what his UU kidnaped rank is?

would mean people who have certain styles of play can see their strenths and weaknesses, or even go for #1 in a field

Err.

If you would want 5 minutes of continuous turn-lag.

No. ](*,)

Just delete ME code, problem solved :)

Though, my other qualm about ME would be further enhanced. People don't care about their losses when massing for ME, cause they count for nothing. So, allowing separate rankings, would mean that people would focus further on massing for the purposes of ME

But it is still a way to compete with others and brings interest back to the game.

When people have no goals they tend to lose their interest in the game. At least I do.


Anyways, the indivdual ranks could be updated once per day so there will be no turn lag.

If you call throwing resources at players, in order to get points, which doesn't really show any level of skill, since you don't loose points for losses, then yes, i guess so.

maybe not so much focus this on defenders and crap idc about them, but the thing is some do

anyway the main ones i think of is naq stolen, planets stolen, UU kidnapped the stuff that you dont waste loads of resources getting and would be great competition without the maasing and loss ratio if thats your beef.

still like deni said, some people may want to see if they can catch qacols supers or see if they can dominate the most spies in the game, if thats how they wanna play, then its their right (not my style but) it would be nice to see how good you are in your field of choice.

and 1ce a day is an excellent ideaa, just update mini ranks at game time midnight or w/e

How do you propose to stop it from being made meaningless by exploiters?

I do believe its not been that long ago someone shot up the ME rank by sending his own resources to other accounts and taking them back to increase his ME signifigantly, and quickly.

Whats stopping anyone from raiding their own UU 300 mill UU back? or farming their own 100 trill naq?

LB :-"

yes ofc, there is always someone that is gonna exploit a system, but we have ME now, and you can do that so individual ones make no difference, it can be done already. besides, risking farming your own 100T over again and your millions of UU is up to you :-"

but seriously, the whole ratio ranking and exploitablility ios there already but it would be nice to se roughly how you stack against them most part of guys that just play their style

In a way a good idea and also a bad idea.

Many people cry about many things. How would this be different? :)

Well. Yes, it would serve merit to be ranked in all ME things, then you would know how you stack up as a farmer, raider, masser e.t.c.

So I say yes, rank everything on ME,

My one problem with ME, is the excessive number of people that Mass simply to build ME, calling the people they mass stat builders yet their the ones building a stat, you know who you are.
perhaps to try and solve this a bit the only thing in ME that shouldnt be ranked is the total, infact the total should be taken out entirely. That should slow down the ME crazyness.

To stop the lag issues, seeming as ME isnt important at all, expecially not time sensitive for ranking up to ascend or w.e, it can be for example updated daily at 00.00 game time.

If your going to do that, then minuses should be fixed.
