It is my opinion that in order to encourage competition between players, that futurecraft should have a leader-board on our website with stats and rankings. This is a common feature found in the MMO genre of games. Don't believe the writing of the code would be that much of a problem, even I might be able to to attempt it, given some more time. What I haven't figured out, is how we would collect the necessary information, or for that matter what information to get. Formatting it into the HTML should be the easy part.
However some cons to adding this as a feature would be the storage requirement. Also, we'ed have to offer a way to opt out of collecting information from individually users, as this can be a touchy subject.
Remember,the purpose of this leaderboard is to inspire competition and competitiveness between players, and even entire factions.

Re: Leader-board / stats
The only problem I can see is that top players would become a hit-list of sorts, and whenever they enter a new region, they will get swarmed by newbs who want to say they attacked the #1.

Re: Leader-board / stats
I can see it working to inspire people to fight more frequently and be smarter, but it also works like a hit list..
Maybe not list names just the top stats.

Or use separate pseudonymous for the leader boards.
I think it's a wonderful idea.

Re: Leader-board / stats
time played will not be the leaderboard. K/D shouldn't either. Factions should be the thing we leaderboard so we encourage teamwork and strength in unity and stuff, not just pew pew pew.

Re: Leader-board / stats
Pew Pew Pew is not what you encourage - try to make other "leaderboards" : For example bounty table with the list of bounties for the worst pirates in the galaxy, nice and dangerous at the same time to be on top , so yea if you want to be the most terrifying pirate in the galaxy way to go . Best trader (Best trade deals ofc ), best warrior (In my scheme would be most confirmed alien kills + systems liberated), all those could be nice leaderboards to give someone where to go and not just do pew pew . Additionally medals (For example for liberating a system or for doing an important mission for the government) and achievements are nice. This way you allow everyone no matter what he does to go higher and seek some perfection if he wants to OFC, for others you can give those medals or try to get achievements. Leaderboards can be divided into tiers so that achieving a significant achievement will be easier and more satisfying.

Largest ship(blocks of air in ship)
Most kills
Most minerals mined(subcategories for each mineral)
Most planets visited
# of black holes fallen in
Most lasers fired
Most ships built(Would have to be above a certain size)
Most nukes detonated
Most ships captured
Most FTL jumps

Re: Leader-board / stats
What you did is just statistics, and somewhat boring ones (most FTL jumps ? )

Re: Leader-board / stats
Sure, shows whether you are a traveler or a noob. Noobs would have maybe >150 jumps, while not noobs would have <200 jumps.
