With a new Sector Battle nearly imminent, I thought to share a few thoughts.
First, our cartel will miss a handful of members this SB. Jit is on vacation, Julius is experiencing technical difficulties -- as well as, ostensibly, a few others, including Grin and Ven -- while Sever has also taken a holiday. Down four Captains, I still believe that we can competitively rank. The previous SB had a fairly low global participation turnout, which is great for us, just as long as we show up to play hard.
The lower SB participation rates on a global scale also have consequences for each of us individually. Kabam has promised to restructure the awards, so every rank should look forward to receiving more for their efforts. To that end, if there was ever a time that you wanted to gun for a higher tier rank, the time is now. The lower the global participation rate of SBs, the lower the VP (Victory Point) threshold for each rank.
I suspect -- and this is only a suspicion -- but I suspect that Commander, for instance, should command roughly 4mm VPs, down from 5.5-6mm. That's significant. And a boon for regular Captains who want to put in the extra effort to rank Commander without spending a ton of chromium to do so.
Good hunting, everyone!
