Author Topic: Scoring is wierd (Read 246 times)

I had posted a few days ago...

"I have only 1 sortie in a vehicle today. I killed three other vehicles with it then "landed". So far so good, but here is where the numbers deviate from reason - it shows 0% for Hit percentage vs. Enemies. What did I hit these fellows with then?"

now an update:

Today I drove an m3, the second of my total of 2 gv sortied this tour. I drove around a bit and got shot and blown up by an airplane.

Now my hit percentage vs. enemies is 12.903%. All fine a dandy, but guess what? I did not fire my guns! (I tried but couldn't - turns out I didn't even have a key mapped to fire the gun lol)

Killing three guys with a tank hit percentage 0% Only after I get killed by an airplane some days later do I somehow (without shooting at all mind you) have a hit percentage of 12.903%

How in the world does this make sense?

scores are only updated 1X per day around 10 AM central time... did you check before it was updated?

that would explain the hit %.... yesterday's sorties didnt show up until today.

Yes I realised that. The first gv sortie was several days ago. (In any case your raw numbers show up right away, it is only the ranking that is done at 10AM CT.)

I saw this on "Star Trek" once, so I know its possible....

I think you're caught in a temporal anomaly. You fired shells and killed a guy, but you fired those shells... in the future! Yes, you thought it was several days ago, but actually that battle won't take place for another week!

And that M3 kill you got? You killed that guy with the shells you fired next week, too!

The only way I can see to break out of it is to hope that the worm hole closes on its own. I suppose you could try re-routing a particle beam through the sensor array, but that assumes that you have the skills to reconfigure the entire warp core matrix. You do have access to a warp core, right?

Statistics are updated almost immediatiely after every sortie, not once a day. The only part of statistics that are updated just once a day are the rank portion of the scores. The stats themselves update, as I said, immediately.
