    I get the point of giving infamy based on teams since its a multiplayer game, but it's really frustrating. There have been games where I have out performed all players ( including the ones from the opponent team ) still I loose infamy because of my team mates. What I feel can be a small solution is.. the best player of losing side.. only looses 50% of the infamy ( or even less ) compared to other people in his team. I get is that noobs are able to get good infamy via reverse logic, thus it makes harder to separate them from people who can play, but it would be nice if there is less penalty for good performers even from the losing side.

    So hard to determine best though. You may do the most damage, but it depends so much on your ship type and level relative to everyone else. What would determine best? Defense, heals, disruption (stuns, freeze) relative to your ship level and to everyone else? I just don't see it. You win with the team you have. You get stars occasionally when you perform exceptionally.

    Losing just sucks. No way around it.

    IMG_1617.PNG Yeah it's like they took matchmaker design lessons from wargaming.

    Legendary weapons on my team can't hit the shooter sailing a straight line right in front of them, same person on the enemy team kills me in 2 shots regardless of what I do. And the enemy team 80% of the time has the only fixer, sometimes two.

    I don't mind losing, what I do mind is my infamy dropping from 850 to 350 in a matter of about four hours. I was consistently the high scorer in damage points, kills and stars, and lost almost every game. I've had that happen more than once. When it starts, you can't fight hard enough to stop it. You just have to let it bottom out and it will start to slowly come back up. Something like that is hard to explain.

    I agree with you, ship type matter, another example, speeder is not expected to have high damage, but they are good for distraction strategy.

    The bad thing is that if shooter have lower damage than yellow boats. I mean what the use of those 5 weapo anyway

    I have a huge number of games under my belt, and I can say right now, it is impossible to judge contribution purely by damage. I have been a speeder dealing only 5k damage(in Ace 2-Ace 1) who really turned the game around because that 5k damage was solely resopnsible for the enemy fixer's death. I have also been that dude in an enforcer(back in my noob days) who attempted to outheal a fixer with sheer DPS, and lost.

    Infamy in both these cases was gained and lost as deserved. But I don't think justice would be done in your system.

    I think what frustrates a lot of players is if you play, for instance, 100 games, you are the high scorer in 75 games and you only win 25 games out of that 100 games, you see your infamy take a huge hit. What are the odds? I'm not a high infamy player, seem to average about 600. I have fought my way to about 850 only to see it take a nosedive to 350 in a matter of a few hours. Then it will turn around and start easing back up. In the meantime, nothing has changed as far as boat, weapons or skill level.
    I would like to know what parameters they use to match teammates in normal battles and in special events. Some say infamy in normal and gear score in special events.

    Yup, that's it, infamy in ranked and GS in events.

    Also, yeah, I've had that too. On a larger scale xD. Dropped from 2775 to 1950 or so. That streak was insane, but looking back, I really didn't have the gear to get to 2775 back then, and the drop must have been because I got carried by good teammates before it happened.
