Author Topic: extend ranking list  (Read 4843 times)

« on: July 23, 2006, 12:46:25 AM »

i would like to see ranking list extended so i could see all the players i could attack i dont like not seeing who is below me under 25 players of my rank. this is kinda getting frustrated because one of the player is keep attacking me and i couldnt see him on my ranking list. i know the fact that he is somewhere below my "near Crazy Man" ranking list.

perhaps you could make it option where players could select it if they want a extend ranking list 100 players on the list instead of 50 players?

Well, that's where you use the support thingy.

However, it doesn't tell you how many segments or ships the person has.  For instance, the player could have 104 segments and 50 million power, in which case you know a counter is pretty much going to fail.  Or the person could have been 0'd, and the segments are free to take (or, the base is free to raid).  There are important things that the support feature doesn't tell you that are handy to know.

yes, I'd like to see an optional ranking extension to as far as you can attack, and if your limit is closer than that, than to 100. Or something like that.

perhaps we could have something like you type in a player's name or account number and it will pop up the information of the player (I.E number of ships, what power he is at, segments, and....rank he is in now)

i think all we need is a previous next button just so you can find more targets at low powers too...

well, there IS a way you can search for people now:

1: go to 'support us' page
2: go to 'give gold to other person' page (near the bottom)
3: type in ars68 and hit send  13 (jk)

but seriously, you can go there, type in there name, and it will show some of their stats, I forget how much, I know it isn't as much as seeing them in rankings though 10


but I still agree, there has been to many times you KNOW there are more targets out there you can hit... you just can't seem to see them 10

of course, manipulating your power with pships has also been a way to 'search' the rankings 1


hmmm...  planet fruitbasket?

ars, all it shows you is their ID#, the name, and their power.

It does not show a lot of the truly important info...ship count, alliance, segments.

edit: plus, it would help newer commanders to find a wider range of targets to attack...sometimes, everyone is nebbed that you can see.

ya, that's it, it shows their power.  anyway, one of your points was you don't know if he is like 1000x times your power now, and that would let you know.  upon knowing his/her power, you could -try- to adjust your power accordingly to see him/her.  now, if he is to low for you to see, then chances are you can't hit him/her anyway.  anyway, I DO agree though, don't get me wrong, the ranking list SHOULD have a way to expand it.  well, the only reason why not maybe is because that is what E intended, that you just can't see past the 30 or so motherships, due to scanning range... lol.  then what would top 10 be?  hmmm...


hmm... planet himer? herim? hm... im... pm... pms..  O.o  naaa....

How about adding a <search> field to the war screen?

You could enter a name or # and then search for their info, it could be displayed in a small strip across the top looking like the cutout from the rankings page. Or, it could look even cooler with a discription, listing all the important information like ranking, power, ships, segs, truce, alliance, etc. maybe include their picture. It would make attacking much more personal and interesting. This would also help in those cases where your typing in a commander# to attack and make a mistake or forget to chage the number from a previous attack on someone else... the war description screen would show their name and all the info needed to realize you made an error.
