Combat Rank Deficiency? Error? Anyone?

Post by Samassassin » Thu, 16. Jun 11, 07:53

Hey guys!!!

So... i just invaded a Xenon sector in my M3, Percy+BPSG's, and i have killed 3 Ks and my rank, Ace 1st- 8%, has not gone up even one percent. Is this normal?

Yes, the actual points needed for each rank go up massively, so 1% of a high rank requires many more points than 1% of a low rank.

First, the rank table. Ace 1st is at 44,000 points. Next rank at 60,000 points. 8% would then be about 45,300 points and 1% step 160 points.

A K is a M2 and on average returns maybe 350 points. However, the point reward of a kill has random variation, so perhaps a K rewards between 50 and 550 points? With "lucky" roll of dice a trio of K could still be below 160 points together then.

There is also the possibility that a K did launch a missile, your PSG detonated the missile, and the missile's explosion scored the kill. In such case it is not your kill.

Yeah, maybe, but I was using a few wingmen, but they were dead by the killing of the first K. I'm guessing that maybe it might have been friendly fire, or even a freighter's back turret.http://forum.egosoft.com/images/smiles/icon_evil.gif
