At least a win/loss readout about how your sumo does when pulled into the wild.

This sudden attack out of nowhere, am I on 9gag ?
For the record, I'm a profesionnal programmer. I have about 5 years of experience in various languages, including painful ones like Adelia, that dont allow more than 16 characters for variable names. Other answers have been given already.
Naw, u just n33d to git gUd.. 😏
Lol. Anyway

Take your pick of the suggestions hereabout. Average of your last 50 matchs, with an unbroken record being 10K, and only a single win being 200. The amount of time it takes you to win, with a last-second victory being a low score. Maybe factor in the damage you deal.
There are a number of ways to represent the metric. The point is, if you change the FACTOR that scores are represented with, you can overshadow old scores with new results.
Yeah, some averaging for sure. I think now its simply 1 steam account - 1 drone saved, the drone that is saved = whatever drone you last went through a tourney with - so long as it won at least once.. Thats my impression from Michas comments. So clearly there is room for making the system more .. robust.

Can you entirely reset the leaderboards? That would seem fair enough, if you're implementing an entirely new system.
Alternately, you could use values that rank a thousand points for meager displays, and 10,000 for a fantastic showing. Divide by 1000 to display the result ingame. (Instead of 956,789, display 95.6789.)
You would dump nearly every steam ranking based on # of wins straight to the bottom until they played the game again, and established a ranking in the new system.
Disclaimer: I have no idea how the steam ranking systems work.
By what metric would you rank a "showing"?

And the hopper, too, and I believe Nimbatus does as well.
Just checked myself, can confirm. thanks.

That would be awesome. Love watching my skookm Choocher chooch.

The leaderboard is pretty simple, it's just the score you get (amount of wins) that's why we don't show it.
The main problem thats blocking us from switching to some better rating system is that Steam leaderboards don't allow to edit entries of other users.
As the multiplayer is not real-time we can only change the score for your own drone and not the score of the opponent.I think I see. So.. Is it like, the number of wins in the tourney last completed? or is there an accumulation and averaging at all? Are there a bunch tied for first with 10 wins?

which is another annoying thing. why do they count as terrain 🙄
Do they? Havnt tested yet.

Hmmmm. Hmmmmmmmmmm. All I can think of is to crisscross a few detectors around the magnet. Can they see barrels, etc?
Something to try I suppose. Should work if barrels count as terrain?

A part that could read the mass of your ship.. Or changes in the mass of your ship.. Kinda spit Ballin here.. But I want a way to detect that my magnet is carrying something.. Lol
-
You know how when you connect a part with distance between, you get the thin metal connection between them. Maybe make those standalone parts, which connect twice, so you could add structural integrity along other axises between parts. (like struts in kerbal)

sometimes in sumo you see some.. uhm inapropiate bots.. so add a Report bot feature so those nasty bots can be removed
Havnt seen many myself really.. But one cracked me up called "definitely not a peen" lol, so I see where you're coming from.

Nice to see someone else having the same idea...I built a prototype so far...and I suppose it'S going well...well apart from the fact that I need 56 VU for the logic alone...
I have no idea how to split the logic, so that I can print multiple drones and send them back at the same time (once they delivered their payload they fly out of orbit and self-destruct - at least that's the plan - so I'd end up with a lot of interfering logic)
Is there any way to send a global signal to a drone with a logic splitter? I tried this, hoping that "1" would be cut off, but "2" would transfer through.
That buoy drone is an awesome idea. Also your signal splitter should work if the things are based the right way.

Drones with at least 1 point (1 win) get into the tournament pool. So this poor empty drone brain was just lucky in the first fight.
The drones that are placed in the ring are randomly taken from the leaderboard according to the difficulty level of the arena:1 Δ = lowest 20%
2 Δ = 20%-80%
3 Δ = Top 20%
Weight classes are a good idea. I'm also thinking of adding a higher difficulty pool where only drones with 10 wins can enter.Is the leader board public? Or can we at least see where out own drones rank? That would be nice. What exactly is the formulation for leader boarding? As you know livetesting may impact this.
Weight classes!

Free logic parts would be neat.
