Player stats link from active players page
...like in the guild member's page, it would be nice to click on the name of a player in the active players page and get their statistics.
Just a small suggestion.

Well, I disagree. I don't think you have any need or right to see my player statistics. If someone is in a guild that is one thing, but for those of us who are not part of a group, there is no point, unless we are allowed to choose whether that information is shared or not.
Why does it make a difference if you're in a guild or not?
I admit that I don't know much about guilds because I am not interested in them, but I assume that there may be some degree of information and statistics sharing within the group, thus published player stats might be worthwhile. My point was not to say that it is a good idea for guild members--that is form them to decide. I was speaking from the standpoint of an individual non-guild member.
I have become very privacy conscious in recent years and don't see the point in sharing any info unless there is good justification. In this case, I don't see that justification.

Well, that's fair enough, but I never really thought of player stats as 'private' information per se. I guess it could be to some people so perhaps having visible stats as an option would be a good thing.
Back in Alpha each player actually used to be 'ranked' according to our stats, and the active players page would list people in order of rank instead of alphabetical order. Those days have obviously gone by, but I can't really see the harm in knowing someone's license levels, kills, and deaths. The reason I suggested this in the first place is that I am very interested in helping new players get acquainted with the game, and I often wonder when looking at the active players page how many of those people are newbs.
Another thing to consider is that if a player is in the same sector as you and within radar range, they can get a lot more information about your character than is displayed on the guild page by pressing 'k'.
