Hi CJ,

Any chance we can get a peek at the top players who've had their referral links clicked and how many times? Maybe even an in game achievement for it ;)?

Hi CJ,
I was wondering why Plunder Balance rankings aren't displayed on the "View your Stats" page. This seems like a very important, and relevant, statistic and is, after all, the definitive measure of how effective a pirate (or privateers) plundering be. Arrrgh! Just saying.
Do you think we could add that to the "Stats" page? Please PM w/?s.
Thank you for programming the game that we all enjoy so much.

That's an interesting thought. One could see the ships but not their levels. Could possibly bring in some interesting strategies.

I mean wouldn't most folks just assume they would be level 10/11? For war fleets anyway. While trade fleets it wouldn't matter what level they are as most trade fleets will be crushed by a decent war fleet.

And on a slightly related note, would spy networks also be affected by this change, since if not one could use a spy network to figure out the levels ahead of time. Course one could name fleets the same to stop this I suppose.

Fleets numbers would still differentiate. Not sure of the value of this suggestion. It just seems to be throwing randomness into the mix for no good reason other than it 'might' be interesting. I'd see it as discouraging hits rather than promoting them. So, not convinced at all it would add very much to the game.

kinda random thought yeah but i thought it could add a little ? into a choice.. say i have 4 sotl and a cutter most would assume they are lvl 10 and 11 as meliva points out.. lets say they are all lvl 5. i can now profirm raids with what looks like a hard target

Skirmish/Plunder already gives that kind of information. Look at the hit points in a battle report and you can figure out the levels of a ship. :o
