Changes to the Rank system & medals
The current Rank system where you have a separate rank for each race is in my opinion daft. It would be much better to have an overall player rank. We can then easily pick out players from a similar rank/experience & not have to worry/look at ranks per race.. and also I'd like to play multiple games as different races & them all count to my 'rank'.
You also need to add medals beside player names to show things like:
- placed (1st 2nd or 3rd)
- Survived a game to the end
- Finished a game with highest destruction
etc
-make the above stack able

I'm not saying the current ranking system doesn't have flaws, but it would be difficult to have a "total player rank." The problem is that some races tend to get higher achievement than others, not just because they win the games, but because they get more destruction. A privateer or crystal player could easily win a game with little destruction, whereas a robot (just for example) player could easily lose but have a lot of destruction. Therefore players who tend to play high destruction races would end up being higher ranked than their peers who play lower destruction races, and would unbalance the system. Though if "we" found a way to adjust the way rank is gained, then a total player rank could be useful and fun. Also, since the way to get into the emperor match is based on your ranking in a specific race, we can't get rid of race rankings altogether, but maybe we could have both?
I know there was a long discussion in the forums over this, but I still think medals/badges are a cool idea.
