This idea popped into my head as I was considering my own profitable success in VO as a pirate. Since I assume that Guild tracks payments between players, it would be great if there was a way to track the total credits transferred to a player from external/separate accounts. This would be useful from either a trader perspective or a pirate perspective.

Similar to the way that the game tracks kills/deaths, the game could track credits transferred to a player and credits transferred from a player. These statistics could be viewable by day, week, month, year, etc.

It would also be great if the game could rank your profitability against other players. Obviously, this is not something that some players would want, so it should be an opt-in feature.

Interesting notion. I mean, there's a bit of an inherent ability to "game" the stat by transferring between multiple accounts that you own. But it's just a stat.

It would also be great if the game could rank your profitability against other players. Obviously, this is not something that some players would want, so it should be an opt-in feature.

Without violating anyone's privacy, it could still say like "You are more profitable than X percentage of recently-active players" or something.

Interesting notion, indeed. [Optionally] publicising a ranking of how many credits you've obtained/given to other pilots sounds like a fun thing to contest for pirates or shop owners.

+1 this is a fantastic idea

It would be like everyone in the game being an SEC officer.

For personal use/statistics/log you can use the ledger plugin :)
