A system that could tell an EVE player, and other DUST players how many vehicles another merc goes through in a match. How many tanks he loses, how many drop ships, LAV, and other such vehicles that would be released later. Also, how many vehicles he is able to destroy in a game.
This would give players a chance to see who is the best of the best when it comes to certain roles, and how to hire when they need a certain roll to be filled in that game. This may finally end the whole KD argument when it comes to vehicle combat.
1 "HEY HELP US KILL THAT TANK THAT'S KILLING ALL OF US!"
2 "Naah, I'm busy killing the derps running around. besides, I'm too good to take out vehicles."
1" >:("
Not only would it give a ratio for how many vehicle kills/ destruction's you would have, but it would also show up in your game history and tell anyone how many vehicles you destroyed/ lost in that particular game. So not only will there be K/D, but now there would be a VL/VD ration as well.
The way it would work is it would only count a vehicle loss on your part if you're in the driver's seat when it blows up. Or if it blows up, and you were the last one to rive that vehicle.
this would also promote all the good players to try to be the best in vehicle killing too. :P I know I would probably kill more vehicles if i had a ratio that could tell me how many I have killed, compared to how many I have lost in my Dust career.
Thoughts/ opinions? |

Greetings,

No. Yes this information should be available to the player and they would then have the option to share what they want of it, but all you should know about me is a rough idea of my K/D ratio and my Warpoints, anything else is too much information and can be used by you to meta-game an advantage.
I should have access to all of my character's stats, however, like EVE I should be able to decide what statistical information about my character you can access. You should be able to see my employment history and my faction standings both of which combine to give a Warpoints value. You should be able to see my K/D ratio, not the actual numbers themselves but the ratio. With this information you can infer a great deal more, but it would be just that inferential information... Much harder to meta-game with that.

What?
who cares about the meta game. We are products on the market, we need to be able to show off our quality compared to the general mass of mercs. |

Not at all. What I said is that it should be up to the player what information of theirs is available. We are products yes, but you never tell everyone how you do everything... And generally you don't tell everyone your full capabilities unless you are marketing to them. At the same time, you don't advertise your full capabilities to your competitors, because if they know your full capabilities they will know where and how to beat you. The stats you want are a great idea, but if they are fully available to me, I will know your strengths and how to minimize them as well as your weaknesses and how to exploit them... This is not something you want me to have... Just ask 8 of the 9 snipers I went up against over the weekend. ;)
