A new ranking system is cool, I started reading forums last round again and idiots finishing 5th in size and doing a big eor jump were claiming victory. I thought n00bs were running ic now.
The few problems i see with the ranking system is how losing somoene will negativly effect your ranking and if u beat a top fam or the #1 fam with 2 weeks left in a big war and u still arent higher ranked then they are after that war then this ranking system sucks and will never be accepted.
Of course when u get into the war with the fam ranked higher then u and u win, what will happen is a big rape of planets till the winning fam is ranked higher and no doubt this will happen to alot of fams throughout the rounds.
Nothing is perfect, but for sure the losing players in a fam should be fixed asap after round.
It will be nice to see a true ranking though. All those fams at eor raping small fams for size and claiming victory wont anymore without going against the big fams and all those fams saving for eor jump wont be able to anymore.
Certainly a step in the right direction
