Star calculation hello???

I have highest damage and 3kills yet my team mate gets more stars than me lmao

 

It's the contribution that has put him ahead. His Flare Gun, Grenade Launcher and Fire Bomb leave fire DoTs which can boost the damage of team members which counts towards contribution thus more stars.

You don't have anything in your arsenal that will give you that same kind of contribution. In my experience actual kills don't count for much.

 

I see, thanks.

 

I agree. My boat is setup for precision damage. As you'd expect, I frequently get the kills but it's the mortar guys who mostly get the big damage numbers. I'm mostly content with that since I see it as a team work thing... they soften them up and I kill. I just wish it didn't facilitate the mortar boats who hang by the side lobbing mortars occasionally until the battle is done and then they collect whatever additional damage they can before they die too.

 

I think the stars do not depend 100% on the damage you get but also on how many ships you damaged during the battle which represent also the teamwork
I use speeder so it's kinda hard to get three star on the battle cause I focus on one ship after another, but for those who use mortar or fire bomb especially shooter, it's kinda easy for them cause those weapons have a whole area to hit which means they have more chance to hit 2 to 5 ships at the same time, and yes they get even more damage, but for yellow ships if you get three stars on a battle that's means you did atleast 70% of the work while your teammate where just turning around lol
I say that cause when I get three star on a battle means I did the whole work without my help the whole team would be down lol
And for fixer of course it's depend on how he healed, how many teammates he healed, those few damage he\she get help him\her too tho and so so ...
Now you know how to deal with you shooter if you want more stars ...

Well, that's what I think cause I kept wondering why too, after switching some weapons and ships, I came up with this logic ...
Hope it's help you understand

And if you find another explanation please tell me ...

 

Yeah, you got a point with that, it is and explain much why those who use fire bomb get more stars and the contribution for the team (Teamwork) ...

But my logic is still not false, cause not In all battle players use fire bomb, flare gun, But mortars they are always there and most of the time they are the ones who get more stars ...

 

Lol, I am not saying that you just have to hit a boat, and sinking a boat has a less contribution than others,
1. Fire bomb, flare gun cause they give bonus damage for your teammate and for yourself ... (you said that)
2. Stun, frost , frost launcher for yellow ship, slow down your enemy which give bonus damage to your teammates too especially for torpedo users .. (you said that )
3.damage you get on a battle helps too and for those you don't use any of those weapon, more damage you get means more ship you damaged (does not mean that you destroyed them), I see that as a contribution for your team, why not get three star cause I've already saw that ...

Well, I guess I understand your point, do you understand mine ?
