how about a ranking thats based on the total average powerup levels combined with total planets ?

Meh, I'd rather a ranking which functioned the same way as it does on main, with your stats. This influence ranked system is quite boring/stagnant, and makes for less strategic gameplay.

Damn right, it pretty much sucks atm.

Well, if there were no rank modifiers, a system based on ranks in stats would work. However, since there are rank modifiers, it is too easy to abuse a system like that, especially for people like me. I can sell off all my weapons and untrain a bunch of planets to drop ranks in stats right before a turn, and then right after the turn train the planets back up and rebuy the weapons and then I have an insane rank mod to attack whomever I want.

I am all for removing the rank modifiers and implementing a new ranking system. All in favor, say aye. Those opposed say nay!

i

aye

aye aye

oh no, bigger people want this. it will never happen

aye

someone should put up a poll on the issue

Aye !

nay~

I like the rank modifiers..

When all of you attack me... at least I have something left to repair my weapons with!

I personally like the current ranking system... in main power is measured by your army size, rank means nothing always floats around... this way the actual way to get rank is through your planets... which is what everyone tries to do anyway only using their stats as a means to getting it.... this works

It only works when there are no rank mods and damage caps in place. With rank mods and damage caps, you are punishing the people with the most planets because when the parity level hits the server in four to six months (ie. 3000+ accounts at 2.5-3 billion planets), the 130% rank mods are really going to kill the server.

I think the ranking system that was in place before was good:

50% of rank is based on influence power
50% of rank is based on stat rankings.

It is fair in that it keeps the people with a lot of influence power (ie. the bigger accounts) from totally tanking their stats to drop massive amounts of ranks to take advantage of the rank modifiers (which, by the way, in case you have missed the last four or five admin chats or any of the other numerous threads that I have posted in, I think are a very bad idea and should be removed immediately).

Aye

But like Chris said, if its anything but a way to hurt bigger players it wont go through. Maybe when 80% of the game breaks the 2 bill planet mark he'll get rid of it,,, doubt it.
