HOF stats

I would say drop the current game HoF and make the "real" HoF update once a day. Would remove / fix all the problems with people getting info there.

Whats wrong with gettin info there? It's not like SMC hunting where you can tell exactly where someone is, but it does help you at least pick a target, there is still alot of information that you need to be able to fully track someone down, this just gives a small bit of info, you may be able to tell what a person is doing, but not where.

The problem is that it's anathema to good reconaissance. Sitting back and letting the database do half the work for you certainly doesn't build good playing habits.

It's also more fun to compare yourself with other alliances with ingame evidence, i.e. comparing your wealth in terms of what ships of theirs you run across, rather than looking at "ranks by trade profit total" and getting easy answers.

I disagree OR. I can work out SMC hunting from HoF stats. Eg take turns used since last death, goods traded, traded experience. Now take them at two time snaps. This can give you as much information as you used to get from CPL. That will tell you where.
Now also consider that as the game starts I can see who has bought forces so I can see which ships people are in and who is in hunters. Any information made available will make the people's (who can be bothered to use it) life safer/easier

already implemented even though I hate hiding of so many stats, as these stats interest me greatly, maybe opening all stats back up with a delay of a day would be nice
