Since ranks are based solely off total dollars for 1 ship only. It only makes sense to stick to 1 ship and play as many games as possible to earn the most TSL bux for the specific ship.
So that means that the most active players will make all-star playoffs considering you earn TSL bux for every game played. The rankings are not based on skill but on games played.
It is not calculating all your games played, it only counts your 20 best games.
There are 10 spider spots -- the standings count your 20 best spider games.
There are 4 shark spots -- it counts your 20 best shark games.
There are 2 terr spots -- it counts your 20 best terr games.
There are 2 multi-ship spots -- they count your 20 best games in all three ships.
Example:
I'm listed with 775$ value. But I've produced over 1400$ in value across all my games. It is only summing my 20 best games, which comes to 775$.
I could play the next 50 games in a row, and if I get 25$ in every game, my value will still be 775$, because 25$ isn't good enough fall into my top 20 games.
I still think it should be top 20 games for players who play 100 games, but top 20% of your games for players who play more than 100 games. For example, if a player plays 200 games, their top 40 will count (still a pretty dilute number, best 80 games would be ideal IMO, but 40 is still better than 20). This avoids the inconsistency problem zid pointed out in another thread (ie, if a player sucks in 80/100 games, and plays well in the other 20, they'll still make playoffs even though they are inconsistent).
