Hi there,

This won't affect most, since it only has real impact on ranks 31 that already are at the top of the ranks.
The way the ranking system works is very simple.
First your rank, second your points, and third your kill-deads. Nothing else.
The problem happen only when you are rank 31 (the maximum) and already hit 1mm points (the maximum). Some find it discouraging to see someone new rank 31 to pass them on the ranking because their kill-dead is better.

So... now I raised the points requirement to 10mm. Yes. You have tons of more point available until you hit that "issue". That way the ranking should begin moving a bit more now.

I say you extend the top 100 list to top 200. You have to be a II air marshall to make top 200 and soon it will be II air chief to make top 100. It's pretty depressing thinking you may never make top 100 if you're a noob.

Nearly all games solely list a "Top 100" in each category, respectively.

Top 100 is ok. Gives you something to aim for. It wasn't that long ago I was happy to crack the top 5000.

Zuperman i love the change. I had just a question to understand. Is The 10mm requirement is in reference to "points after MORAF"? You do such a great job on the game of dogfight including the current point system. I just wanted to understand your latest change you made. :)

Well, let's see...
1E+07 = 1 x 10^7, which is 10,000,000
559,574 divided by 10,000,000 = 0.0559574

If we round up, you have 0.056 points. I think you have a long way to go to reach 10 million.

No it means you have 559,574 points now, and you need 10^7 (10 million) in total, that same as normal. E.g. mine reads 16000 / 200,000. So I need 200,000 to make my next rank and I only have 16000 at the moment.

Manfred is correct. Its the exponential representation for 10 million

Since zuperman doesnt have a big enough space for 10000000 then it represents it in exponential form.

It only occurs for points after achieving rank 31. I think this discussion answered my question.

the Kill death ration idea to rank up could be bad. More people who want to make theres go up will drop at the start to get there lol.

I saw this 1E+07 in class and subtly brought it up. My teacher had no idea what the hell it was and got angry at me for asking stupid questions. But some really smart kid said it was an Incryption. I am only 12. And have no idea what that is but I know it has something to do with encrypting the coding of the game.

Digby, just to help your teacher and you to understand,

1E+07 is the mathematical exponential representation for "10 million". The space provide in the game is not enough for 10000000 which is 8 spaces. So for Z to represent 10 million with the minimal spaces provided it then had to be represented in exponential form which as you see is only 5 spaces. This is well within the number of spaces since 1000000 (1 million) was originally shown.

Go this as the answer when I put in 60000000000000 or something probably explains the 6 thanks to swoppy!!
