Who is the best Oolite player?

Post by JazHaz »

Saw this on the Acorn Arcade site. On there is a table of the top 5 commanders, by kills.

I propose that we do the same. Post here your best/highest score (if you run several commanders) and I'll edit this post to produce a table of the best Oolite players!

And no cheating, be honest! :lol:
  • Top 5 Commanders (Elite Rating)

    Zbond Zbond - Elite - 132993 kills
    Cmdr McLane - Elite - 13112 kills
    Alex - Elite - 10791 kills
    MasonA - Deadly - over 5300 kills
    Loxley - Deadly - 5237 kills
  • Top 5 Commanders (Kill Rate)

    Cmdr McLane - Elite - 13112 kills - 1140 days, 11.50 kills per day
    Zbond Zbond - Elite - 132993 kills - 13220 days, 10.06 kills per day
    Alex - Elite - 10791 kills - 2003 days, 5.39 kills per day
    Varsator - Dangerous - 860 kills - 171 days, 5.03 kills per day
    Disembodied - Deadly - 3266 kills - 862 days, 3.79 kills per day


    To work out time in game look at your game clock. The game starts at 2084004 (first four digits are the year, next three are days, with 1000 in a year). Take your date, minus 2084004 = your total days. Divide your total kills by the total days to get your kill rate.

DaddyHoggy: 2 Kills :wink: (I'm Roleplaying a pacifist - both kills were in self-defence where I couldn't dissuade the pirates from attacking me as a swarm even though a fair few were venting plasma and I may have targeted ships that were fleeing rather than those still firing in the confusion of the melee - I was deeply remorseful - 7 days mourning for both of the lost souls)

[Of course this approach means I will never have chance to do (any) of the missions built-in or otherwise as they're kill based - so I'm waiting for some terrible event to turn me into a revengeful psychopath :) as my Cobra Mk3 is well equipped enough to deal out immediate retribution!]

Maybe it would be a good idea to also post the in-game time that goes with those kills?
Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards

Good idea - max kills still wins - but ave. time per kill will show if you're a long term survivalist or a short-term psychopath...

Previous commander 5237 kills deadly.

Current commander 12 kills poor. (Killing's not easy in an Adder I had to work for those.)

I reckon some of the longer standing board members must have passed 100,000 by now.

Yeah but I still don't understand how the ship's clock works! So I've no idea what mine is!! :roll: :evil:

EDIT: my current commander is saved at: 2085004:13:00:31

But I don't understand what the 2085004 means? Its not years or months, but surely can't be days? I suppose it could be hours, but thats what the 13 is, isn't it?

First four digits are the year; 1000 days to a ship year.
Everybody starts at 2084.004.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills

The game starts at galactic time (or whatever it is called) 20840004, 15:47 o'clock.
I am currently at 20844427 midnight.

So 4,423 days have passed. :shock: (I wasn't aware of this, not by far)
For me it is on average one kill every 3.123 days. Or 0.32 kills per day.


But since most time is spent with witchspace travel, I am not so sure if this is a good measure to go with.

EDIT - no wait, I read one digit too many.

So, only 423 days have passed, giving me a killrate of 3.3475 per day.
Ah, that sounds better.

By what calendar? No way is Elite set in 2084AD.
