Location: Zarcon The Developer | Well, a number of people have been asking for this, so I've done a bit of work and added it in! More rankings!
There are now 5 types of Admirals:
- Admirals
- 1 Stripe Admirals
- 2 Stripe Admirals
- 3 Stripe Admirals
- Grand Admirals
These rankings are for honor only and do not impact how the game scoring is done -- for example, if you beat a "3 Stripe Admiral" you won't get any more points than you would if you beat a normal "Admiral". To reflect this distinction, in the game the Stripes are not displayed, just your rank.
All the ranks are attainable, and I believe, in the past, at least one user may have gotten to the level required for Grand Admiral -- 5000 points and 150%.
To those who are opposed to rankings, they are going to stay, but on the bright side, I don't think the separation of the ranks will increase the problems which rankings create. |

The original ranks are still calculated the same. The "super-Admiral" ranks still get the same points as old Admirals. It's just if you have loads of points and a higher % you get a special rank for it.
So rankings-wise, nothing has changed, I just break up the Admiral category for display purposes so at-a-glance you can see who the better Admirals are. |

they dont reset - after someone plays for 10 days the 11th day has their first days play wiped - day 12 will have the 2nd day wiped etc. its always a ten day period the game ranks are made from.
sometimes you may forget you played more on one day/weekend --- so when that day gets wiped you see a great change in your score/win ratio.
i believe someone put forward the idea of a 30 day window instead of 10 - which wouldnt have ups and downs as much as a 10 day period.
i believe that would be cool - as well as more rankings......
