More Statistics for each server.

How about a statistics page?

Everything from how many planets total, to how many colonized, how many colonists, how many resources being generated by planets, how many weapons being made.

I want to know everything!!! <insert lion's roar here>

...and while you're at it, add all the information about the whole universe, all the servers! (yes, I would like the seven course meal with five dessert courses, followed by steam room, massage, pool, tennis and let's go bowling when we're done.)

later,

i said no just because....why?

we have followers, most people are willing to say approximately how many cols they have (and if not, just do the math).

so i guess i dont see much point. Resources generated and that sort of thing is totally irrelevant.

i think some of those things he mentioned would give a much clearer view of who was actually winning a perma. since, you know, the guy with the most exp on a perma is the one that hasn't be online invading or defending anything for the longest amount of time (thus is actually losing).

however, i do NOT think that toonces should spend all the time and effort coding it into the server list. that list is already a slow loading heap of garbage. if anything we need to be taking things out of there (like 20 something permas).

i'd like to see an option to sort corporations by those kinds of values at some point in the future, for REAL rankings reasons. like toast said though followers is a fairly accurate measure of power and is fine for now.

As you can tell they seem to be working on something close to this.

I realize that however, I'm sure this is not at the top of the list to do. Plus depending on what type of database engine they have chosen to use can be the problem as well. I do free-lance programming on the side so I too know how hard or easy this can be. But it would be great if they would keep us up to date on this option they are creating.

A dashboard might be interesting but I don't see it as a high priority so I choose not to vote either way. If the idea does get accepted, it could be added to the existing "About" screen. Some other nice info might include the galaxy's NPC count, warp regen rate, and the text description of the galaxy as found on the outer-most galaxy selection screen.

Squeemish, that about idea is perfect.

DONE!

Should we have a massively informational and awesome statistics page on each server?
