All We have been discussing ways of implementing a bonus system for giving extra points for sinking skippers with more experience, and/or rank. Here are some ideas. We already have sink points for the different ship classes, so sinking a class 6 ship earns you more points than sinking a class 5 ship. So if we implement the ranking system in conjuction with the bonus system, then we could try something like this. We could award extra points for sinking higher ranking officers. There would be 10 different ranks. So we could say that you get 25 extra points for each level. So if you sink a Commander, you would get 125 extra points. If that seems too high, then we can try 10 points per rank. We could try awarding extra points for each year of experience of the opposing skipper instead. Say 10 points for each year of experience. So if you sank an opponant with 10 years of experience, you get an extra 100 points. I think it would work if we try one or the other. Both might be too much to keep track of. We just need to decide how many points will make things more interesting. But we don't want to go overboard, and make it too costly to get sunk. Your thoughts please. Mikey
I don't think that we should have bonus points play into rank. It's supposed to be fun, not a paperwork hassle. I believe the KISS method is best for this. Limit getting your rank to service to the club, and attending treaty meets. That being said, as far as BATTLE scoring goes, I think that a fleet should be awarded some kind of bonus for sinking the enemy Admiral, but it shouldnt be based on whatever rank the player has achieved in the club. Basically, I think that the rank should be for fun mostly, and have no impact on anything else.
So if we go with giving bonus points to a fleet for sinking the fleet admiral, and his group commanders, what should the points be worth? A percentage of his sink points based on their ship?? Mikey
How does this sound? Sinking the fleet commander on the opposing team will earn your team an additional 200 bonus points. Sinking one of the group (battlecruiser, cruiser, etc) commanders on the opposing team will earn your team an additional 100 bonus points. Mikey
