Since I know that the eventual goal of the Dev's is to roll out an interstellar conflict on huge scale between Serco and Itani forces, I was thinking, we might start at least building a good mentality for it, and making a little competition for it.

Like with CtC presently, I would recommend putting a "counter" on kills in the game, tabulated continuously, this would merely show the number of Itani Bots/Itani Players & Serco Bots/Serco Players killed by the opposing action in the previous time-frame.
If could be linked on the side of the VO website under "Cargo Captures" as "War Report" or something similar.

It could potentially be used to secure a certain weapon (Like CTC and Neut3s), and could also be a good basis for statistical research in the run-up to Dynamic Warfare.

-For example, we know that the Itani are typically more numerous than the Serco on the server at any particular time. With Dynamic Warfare, and the future of capturing stations/systems, it would be necessary to use NPC's to help balance any unbalance (Itani or Serco). Now we won't know what that balance is necessarily without the research, which this would provide. If Serco kill 1,500 Itani, but Itani kill 3,000 Serco, obviously Serco team would need NPC support, and vice versa.

For a combat-oriented game, leaderboards would be a good addition; especially if they could be accessed in-game. Would like to be able to call up CtC stats in a station, for instance. Or the stats for the race tubes (both top and weekly). Rewards for top performer of the week in different categories would be a bonus.

I would like to see more stats.

top 10 most
PKS
Bot kill
Serco/Itani kills
Queens/Levis
Most CtC carried/Delivered

...Ever/Last week/Last 24 hours...

etc...

Nice idea, roda, i love it, just another section to Comm.

Me wants!
