End of game 'rating'

<< < (2/2)

Regule:
Do winning/loosing round have effect on grade ?
Because you know it's kinda important part of game :)

Andika:
Hmm...so is it purely the number of things you successfully fix/shoot that determines your score? Because if that's the case then it means that if you're an experienced engineer and your team is so good that the ship hardly gets damaged at all, you'll get a terribly low score as opposed to the engineer who is on the other side and fixes a hundred or so parts while his team loses to 5-0. Wouldn't this actually downgrade many experienced engineers instead of reflecting their experience? Higher level engineers sticking to higher level captains and continuously defeating lower level players will keep getting low scores based on their in-match performance (performance = enjoying the view when there's nothing to be repaired), and thus, the system will not show anything of the level of their skills. I get to fix a lot more stuff when I fly with inexperienced crews than when I fly with people who kill enemies in a blink of an eye.

I got a 5.0 on a Squid as a buff and chem spray engineer -- I literally didn't stop moving for an entire game and no doubt my work was beneficial -- but on a Spire where I had a mallet, spanner and extinguisher, and I spent most of my time shooting and occasionally patching things up, my grade plummeted to around 0.5 I think. Perhaps 'Performance Grade' should be renamed to something like 'Class Contribution Grade' because at least that way it would be kind of accurate. It definitely needs to say what the grade is out of though, so 0.5/5.

Say we say the heck with this rating system and just go with a setup like Rayman Origins: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amFJSghl3-4
