I fear I didn't manage to make my point... can I try again?
Infamy penalty was implanted to counter infamy regulation (loosing infamy purposely) and to ameliorate match making (players of similar power together).
Yet Infamy penalty forces infamy regulation to avoid the penalty (loosing infamy purposely) , which forces players to not play to their fullest (better ship and skills playing in lower rank).
It just doesn't work to me.
Of course a player focusing on one boat, one setup, and fleeting with always similarly skilled player might never have to worry getting the penalty.
But players who like to play different boats, try different weapons, fleet with different friends... all might have their infamy go up and down out of 800 range (or whatever is the actual rule) and suffer the penalty when playing fair.
Why not giving it up already?
