Post Leaderboard Wealth
I think it would be really cool to see who the richest teams are and people in game.

For teams it will count what the teams have in team funds and for players it would count how much you have on characters and assist such as TSL and bases Raw Credits.

This would drive more more competition.

Thoughts?

The old Wealth score was removed because it was too easy to manipulate.

Not really, players can hide their credits on alts and such to make you think they're poorer than they really are.

You can just set a nub alt to your main (it has no function, other than displaying on the forum), so your TSL credits aren't counted. Alternatively, you can go the old school way and use a bank alt (typically an f2p account used purely to store credits).


Even with the extra measures (e.g., counting team funds, players hold, stations and TSL) it's still easy to manipulate.

One thing that might work, although I don't know if it's a good idea, is to make a Wealth score which is some amalgamated form of team income from team tithe, although I imagine a lot of teams will disprove as it means setting a team tithe to get score in it (and tithes are flexible, although I kind of like that).

I think removing wealth from team score was smart because high team score translates into faster acquisition of team skills. If we are truly moving into new team skill system, I don't see anything wrong with wealth score.

It's still a gameable, though. I can set an alt to peon, set team tithe to 10% and give him like 10b and just buy and sell stuff to the AI base to transfer credits to team fund to increase the score.

Or you can just transfer money to funds? It doesn't require a rank as far as I know. If people want to hide their wealth, they can put them on unteamed alts. I don't see anything wrong about that. I would see wealth score as e-peen and nothing else.

I'm against teams being forced to use cheesy/bullshit tactics to improve their team score.

I'm looking at Loyalty, Trading, and this potential Wealth. Loyalty is the Activity score, over time. So high Activity, high Loyalty. Trading is how much money being transferred around via AI ships (not your trade slaves, or player sales) buying and selling commodities to and from your public bases.

And the proposal for the Wealth score here is stupid, plus gives out information people may want to hide considering a Traders Councilor, joking or not, announced it would be a good way to gauge teams to strike at and demand surrender terms.

You could look at a team's roster, add up the number of credits each character/account is associated from the leaderboard, and gauge a team's overall wealth from there to make surrender terms.
