So you didn't consider Solidarity pilots as PvPers?

Oh, and in regards to the original post:
Evo's right, the more stats the better. How many people did the silly "mine 450 units Rad Ore" missions just for the medal. The facts are, stats are a reason to keep playing.

Stats are nice to keep record of what you have achieved. I know one MMOFPS with no stats.. And its really bad cause anyone can have BAD ASS REP.. its just the ability to brag.

[sentinels]

karash is lying, he's just as big of a stat-whore as i am.

What Evo said. More stats, not less. Ship types destroyed. Number of civs kills vs. HG pilots, and especially number of civ fighters.

I'd like to also see more non-combat stats, like total tonnage of cargo hauled, Flux types killed, Average profit per cargo run, etc etc etc.

Heh.. i'm sure we all know that the gaming community is 99.9995% stat whores. It comes with the territory.. gotta be able to show something for your time in game, after all. Plus the bragging rights. Plus the *censored* length arguments. Plus, plus plus.

gamers = stat whores. (plus strange ways to spell things, and anything photoshoped with anything)

I don't exactly know what you mean by that, but irrespective of what role you take in the game if you check your stats you are a stat whore by default. PvP'ers that claim they are not, are lying.

I only look at flux kills do's that make me more of a tart?

[Tritian]

I say more stats. Way more stats. And also, it'd be nice if you could pull up stats for individual fights you got into. It'd be nice to see a listing of the various pilots who i've killed, or who have killed me, and maybe pull up some stats on that particular fight such as how much damage I did to them and how much they did to me, how many missiles fired/hit, etc.

There should also be a host of non-pvp related stats, as others have suggested. Stuff like total tonage hauled, totals mined in all the different ore types... hell i'd even be curious to see stats such as how many lines typed on chat, flight time compared to sitting in station time, etc. Flux kills should be broken up into much more detail, such as how many times the flux have killed you, # of flux you've killed broken down into the different flux types, etc.

And I also think that the stats/medal information needs to be moved in-game, as part of your ships computer.

*stands on chair*

Hello My name is vorlon31 and (believe it or not) I am a stat whore

But I do do my own stats from jossh with things like flux/launch flux/hour, overall flux kills, xp/hr, credits/hr etc. All good stuff so Im for more stats, esp squad stats automatically produced in game too so that I don't have to keep track of them with scripts and spreadsheets.

We have a different definition of stat whore then. I think of it as someone who cares (most likely overly so) about how good their stats are compared to others. For example, if a squad retreat is called and they are being chased out of a sector, a stat whore will smooth run, even if the buddy behind him is in danger of not making it. People who aren't stat whores will go back and try and help.

I'm still not sure why you mention Solidarity.
There are people of course only interested in increasing their kill ratio. These people I wouldn't fly with as I wouldn't trust them to look after by 6. I assume that's what you think of when you see stat whore. I just see a selfish unreliable bastage.
