The Rankings

Pilots

Welcome to the Ranked.

 

We do not care how many subquests you've completed.

We do not care how long you've owned the game.

We do not care about your fucking amount of credits.

We are here to learn.

 

The Rankings is an Training, Testing, and Experimentation Team for members of the ACVD Arena, and the UNAC Arena. Players who wish to share knowledge, expertise, or learn from excellent pilots should join. Players who help manage the Arena are a part of the team, and is a great resource for new players getting into the game who want to learn more. Admission to the team is via screening, but as long as you're willing to learn and interested in being active, you'll be accepted.

 

This is not a team commitment, you are not expected to stay online at certain hours or play with the team. You aren't expected to contribute to the team rank. It's a place to share schematics, UNACs, strategies, and have zero-pressure combat to improve your skills, as well as find like-minded people to support you.

 

You don't have to leave your current team to join this one. While it certainly makes things easier, you can just create an alternate account and join anonymously so you can practice and share data freely.

 

The Ranked, as a team, is also a resource hub for AC schematics that are available to certain levels of Ranked and Unranked ACs.

 

How To Join

 

Any player can join, but only one Rank per PSN.

 

To join, search out "The Ranked" in the team listing and apply. Once approved you'll be added to the team. New members usually will have a free battle or two to figure out their skill level. Likewise, feel free to message any member of the team without joining if you just have simple questions.

I'm trying to edit the main post but the forum editor is horrific in that it doesn't let you just edit the actual BBcode or HTML, so copy/pasting is nasty business unless I want to go through and individually re-type all the formatting. Can someone explain how to get the editor to show just plain BBcode tags instead of richtext editing?

 

Either way, there's a bunch of new updates that I can't get to show up properly in the main post, so forgive it's formatting currently.

 

I made a massive overhaul of the main page, including the following:

 

1. More details on how the ranking system works

2. A new unranked member

3. Cleaned up the formatting

4. Added Base Schematics and experimental schematics to the list, including a number of schematics inspired by notable player builds online.

 

Schematics added:

 

R-line and X-line base ACs, which demonstrat common AC Archetypes found online.

 

X/TYPE-TOLIMA (inspired by FromCheng)

X/TYPE-SWORDFISH (inspired by VSwordfishV)

X/TYPE-SKOR (inspired by Skor_Zaagan)

X/TYPE-SWITCH (inspired by SWiiTcHBacK)

 

5. Added the official rankings list, though there's obviously only myself as a member currently.

There's an awesome toggle button in the top left of the editor if you wanna switch from WYSIWYG!
