Pilot Ranking System.
Based off the Force Ranking System, except with one fundamental difference that will help.
Now, in the Force Ranking System you have different ranks that hold different positions, from Rank 1 to Council Leader. What I propose for the PRS is a ladder based system.
This prevents fightclubbing because when you lose, you lose a spot and the person you lost to takes your own spot. So:
A)The top pilots won't want to FightClub so they don't lose their rank.
B)You hit a deadspot if you DO FightClub where if you want to gain rank, you will have to find others to hunt.
To prevent people from sitting on their rank:
A)All ranks wiped at the end of each week, and the #1 person recieves a badge.
To encourage participation:
A)Badges.
B)Rewards based off rank, and anyone who participates gets a reward of some sort.
C)Kill badges:25Space Kills, 50 Space Kills, 100 Space Kills, etc.
D)No decay from losing to someone else in the PRS.
To discourage grief:
A)Once someone exits hyperspace or just launch from the ground, they have 1 minute where they cannot be destroyed, to allow for safe passage. Also, when someone cannot be destroyed, they cannot hurt someone else.
B)PRS Designated Ships. This helps for those pilots who help others with their missions, so that they can go up into space without the worry of being hunted in the middle of a mission.
How to join:
A)Master Pilot
B)Pick a Side in the GCW, or Freelance(In which case you are open to attack anyone, and anyone is open to attack you.)
C)A Trial System
1.Destroy 20 Tier 5 Gunboats
2.Destroy 5 Corvettes
3.Destroy the ISD/Rebel Space Station
**Sidenote: While in battle in the PRS, one cannot enter Hyperspace**
Comment away! This probably won't ever exist, but I can hope can't I?

One of my big wishes too. But I'd like to see it on a website like DAoC or planetside and include ground based PvP too. Nothing stimulates PvP better then getting your char/PA high up on the list for all the world to see.

I agree, a good ranking system does wonders for games, and like Washell says it'd be nice to have it available on the internet where it's more likely to be seen.

Hehe, sounds kinda like taking the WoW honor system (and battlegrounds) and applying it to space - which isn't really a bad thing. Biggest difference is that rank isn't wiped at the end of each week, though there is rank decay.

And the WoW honor system is based on DAoC. And DAoC probably had it of somewhere else and somewhere else probably had the idea of a BBS game. WoW is a damn good game. But that's pretty easy when you've got Blizzard coding it and ripping the best stuff of a lot of other MMO's.
Sorry about that, getting a bit tired of hearing everything compared to WoW.

I've never played WoW, actually. Also, I think that this would bring a lot more people into space and bring a tactical feel to it.
Heck, I'd rather do THIS than play my Knight, I love to fly!
