Combat rating is a crude measure of your fighting skills in EV: Nova. It is based the sum of the strengths of the ships you destroy (multiplied by an internal multiplier for adjustment), with larger ships worth more points. Some mission strings require a certain minimum combat rating. The "Kills" value for any pilot can be found in the pilotlog. Once a combat rating of Deadly is reached, a player's demands for tribute from planets, if made, will be taken seriously, and the planet's defense fleet will be launched. The combat ratings are as follows:
Kills | Corresponding Rating |
---|---|
0 | No Ability |
1 | Little Ability |
100 | Fair Ability |
200 | Average Ability |
400 | Good Ability |
800 | Competent |
1600 | Very Competent |
3200 | Worthy of Note |
6400 | Dangerous |
12800 | Deadly |
25600 | Frightening |
