Global Players Stats (Repost)

(Original thread here in the Server Forum)

Inspired by the thread "Best of the Best?", I've been working on merging the data from all the FLstat servers I can find, into a single list.

So, here is my Freelancer Global Rankings . You'll notice that I'm sorting on number of kills rather than rank, because a) it makes a nice change, b) some servers start you with more money and c) it's too easy to cheat to get more money/rank. Note, these only show NPC kills, not player-vs-player kills.

If you have any constructive comments, or if you have FLstat running on your server and want it adding to the Global Stats, then please post a reply or drop me a line.

Good idea! Is it updated real time?

Post Wed Aug 06, 2003 11:07 pm

This page is automatically updated twice a day (I could make it more often), but is dependant on how often the servers update their own stats pages, which could be anything from once per hour to once per day.

I'm wondering if I should show links to stats page for each server? There are some other improvements I could make, but only if there is sufficient interest in the project.

Good job mate! Keep up the good work! This is just the beginning...

Sorry but i see this pointless. The power is not in how much you kill but how fast you achieve your goal.
In this case I prefer killing one ship in split second and sweep the prize. Apparently money is everything and if there whouldnt be "A)" then this list could worth something if arrenged by rank.

Great job man but one thing, is there anyone good enough in calgery or elite or something??? i mean thats just on kills, i can stand and put cloak on and kill everyone i want and i can get up there. i think someone should do the thing with the best of the best and make them fight eachother. thats the way to go. but real nice work man lol

yes, it wants a "highest rank" feature, and also a "sort by name" option for the rank and the kills lists, so you can look up your standings (if your good enough to have them). but its a very good start!

I wanted to create a list based on number of kills, in order to create a new dimension to the game, and to give players something to aim for other than just making more money.

I considered sorting by Rank, but I really can't see how the rank of a character on one server can be compared against the rank on another. This is because of a number of reasons, namely: starting money, cheats, and mods that change either the prices of things, or the ranking system (if there is one). Admittedly, it is possible to cheat using the cloaking device, but hopefully admins will prevent this on their own servers.

However, I shall take on board all of your comments, and I shall work on providing two tables: one sorted by rank, other sorted by kills. (I did also want to sort by systems/bases/holes visited, but again this is distorted by mods).

I see no need to sort by name, as the browser's "Find" command should let you find your own name (or server) easily enough.

Anyway, keep the comments coming - it's all good!

but kills, bases, jmp holes and time online would be handy, from an admin point of view

Post Thu Aug 07, 2003 11:07 am

Chaps,

I have added the ability to see the Global Player Stats sorted by both Kills and Rank . When sorting by Rank, I also take into account the amount of Money a character has, even though it is not shown. I have also added links to the servers stats page, which has the complete information.

I'd love to, but until their admins install FLstat on those servers, there's nothing I can do...

Update on Freelancer Global Rankings
Now includes over 20 servers, and a list of cheaters (at least of the money variety) are automatically detected, excluded from the rankings, and shamed on a seperate page...

Great work Cyro, now I'll have one more thing to aim for... [that is when Stinger/Akataka installs FL Stat on the machine that hosts the Elite server
