To TH, Tiggs, or other interested party: Would it be possible to provide a newAstromech Stats feature?

I really enjoyed these features that offereddifferent kinds of behind-the-scenesinsight into various aspects of Star Wars Galaxies. Other playershave also commented on how much theyenjoyed gaining a better understanding of how this game is managed.

For example, the Economy Stats essay that Raph Koster provided was a great way to help players understand that no, there's not really inflation happening in SWG. In fact, the folks running the show have powerful tools for tracking the changes in the player economy. Likewise, the Character Metrics and the Cries of Alderaan Metrics how players were interacting with each other.And it wasfascinating to get an ideaof where players were congregating through the glimpse you provided of theDeveloper Structure Viewer.

This was great stuff! Is there any chance that someone could update one of these entries, or provide a new one? I understand your not wanting to providecertain kinds oftrending information, but stats that only showpercentages or maps of things we haven't seen yet would safely address that issue.

Thanks!

Yeah, the astromech stuff was a really great occasional friday feature. People have asked for it to come back for a long time, but those requests have never been responded to, sadly.

Then again, I think it was the playerbase that drove it away... The last astromech stats (not linked on that page) was something like "percentage of badges obtained on bria".

That post got flamed by being "biased" towards bria, or that it was boring, or "worst friday feature ever"... (the typical stuff said every friday by whiners)

Besides.. before it ended, people always used to complain that the Astromech stats didn't come out often enough... when they did, people complained that they weren't good enough.

My guess is that whoever put together that information said "why bother".

Sad, since it was really cool.

Yes, I remember the All Badges Earned On Briapost.

I remember the ten pages of comments it generated, too.I thoughtthe badge infowas so interesting I wrote up my own analysis of it, but you're right -- most of the responses were the usual grumblings by people whose interest in SWG goes no further than their own immediate gratification. Why some people think it makes them look cool if they throw hate at everything any dev says is beyond me, but it does seem to be popular.

(Admission: I've thrown hate at some things... but not everything. )

On the other hand, I have to think most of the folks on the dev side of this house are pretty much used to that kind ofknee-jerk whinageby now.Let the complainers complain;there are still plenty of players (like you and me) who enjoyed the kind of behind-the-scenes details of how SWG works that the Astromech Stats used to offer.

I'd really like to see this feature return in some form.

I liked the astromech stats too, and how proffesion popularity has shifted...

0.31%-Novice Image Designer0.30%-Novice Chef0.25%-Novice Pikeman-0.00%Novice Jedi Padawan

^ Rember when there were NO Jedi? I wonder what percent that is now..

-I support a Galactic Civil War fought between regular, average players... Simply strict, hardlined Imperials & freedom lovin' Rebels fighting for control of the galaxy. A Galactic Civil War fought not with glowsticks or lightsabers, but with blasters, lances, and how much guts you have. A Galactic Civil War which reflects the timeline, the destruction of the Death Star, the absolute control which the Empire has and the brave Rebels trying to break up that reign... The extinction of all but a few rare and special Jedi. That my friends, is the Galactic Civil War and that is what we have to aim for.

Ask, and ye shall receive!

Check out the latest Astromech Stats feature that shows a species census -- there's a discussion of this feature going on, as well.

Thanks, GarVa/Tiggs/et. al.!
