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.
I realize this stuff isn't really important, but even though this isn't a graphics based game, I wouldn't mind seeing more stuff in the VCR's too. Even little differences would be noticeable and neat. I like the idea for different sounds for different beams, so that X-rays sound kinda wimpy, and Heavy Phasers shake your freaking desk when they go off....or something else more reasonable. :)
I hadn't played planets in over a decade until I joined Nu, but I seem to remember cloaking ships kinda decloaking in the VCR's before they fought. Didn't change results at all, but it looked cool. Wouldn't mind seeing that again.
