Petition: Proper Pilot Stats
« on: October 20, 2014, 07:37:01 am »
Spots cleared, is in no way an important stat for pilots to check. Spots can be broken at random without effort and are often problematic or buggy due to cloud issues. They also get reapplied just as quick as they go away.

As I noted already, pilots should have kills and deaths listed. Being able to calculate your own personal K/D ratio is much more useful than spots.

Actually, I LIKE seeing my spots cleared. I tend to do my best to NOT be seen when I can help it, so that's actually a big deal to me. And I don't want to see how many times I've died, as that's depressing to think about.

Also some stats only show what you have done since the new patch. For example it says I have only 12 ram kills, which counts the rams I have gotten since 1.38, but not before even though rams and ships destroyed are the same thing if you are a pilot (unless you get off the helm and step on a flak or something)

Except "ships killed" is counting ships your CREW has killed, while "rams" are ships killed because you hit them with your ship. Meaning the final blow was specifically from your ship, and not from a gun.

I'm just glad B'Elanna reminded me the night before. I logged in, took a screenshot.

"Crew Kills" show kills made by your crew (flak, mortar kills etc), however "Ships Destroyed" refers only to ships that the player destroyed that match, either as a gunner, engie or pilot. So "Ram Kills" should be replaced by a "Ships Destroyed" counter for pilot, as it would be more accurate
