Rank calculator

Hey..this might be a stupid question but...

Anyone knows if it's possible to calculate the rank based on the stats u enter into the calc? i mean...

if u have like 20b strike, 50b def, 100b covert, 10b MS....can you somehow find out what will ur rank be?

so if u wanna get into top 100 u get an image how much work do u need? i think this would be quite a good idea..a calc like this...dunno if it exists...if it does...gimme the link plz....

This would be impossible on a calculator, as the calc would have to know the value for every rank in each stat.
You can simply guess, or build it and find out.

it would be impossible since stats are always changing.

Unless the calc had access to all the ranks, but I don't think the admin would take time to make one.

The best way now would just be to ask around. My MS is 15 bil right now without the fleets and it is ranked 600. My strike is 14 bil and is ranked 1300. I know I suck now but I just started back :P To be in the top 100 not all of your stats have to be top 100.

Surely a 'calculator' such as this would give a very good indication as to what the stats are for the highest ranking player/s. Which of course, might well be something they want to keep to themselves.

Your rank can change without any of your stats ever changing, so it's impossible to calculate your rank from your stats alone.

If you know you can run the 100 meters in 10 seconds, you still can't tell what rank you're gonna get in a race, because you don't know how fast the others are. Same principle applies to SGW.

a couple months ago having an average rank of 250 for each stat was enough to get into top 100, hope this helps

The same would generally apply now, the only difference being that is harder to aquire the ranks for each individual stat.

Read Sleipnir's post, then find a bucket of sand and put your head in it for a few hours, 'kay? :P

actually.... it is possible :p


i made one a while ago. the rank v power graph is logarthmic. however the problem is the fact that the data points keep changing, and i dont know anyone who would care to bother with constantly upgrading the 10 or more points you need to be accurate. i did it for the cheapest fast re-ascends, and it worked perfectly for 4 weeks. after that, i gave up.

Aye, no one said it isn't but it's difficult. :P As you said, the data points keep 'moving'. So on that basis, it would take an extremely smart calculator to keep track of them. The whole thing is pointless anyway because it would give away the rank information at the top.
