01 A sample every 4 hours
The table is a copy of the game's public rankings taken ten minutes after each rotation, every 4 hours. The top
500 arrive in pages of 49, so the copy takes a few seconds and a player moving at that moment can show up twice
or not at all; a copy with fewer than 490 players is thrown away, and one with fewer than 500 says how many it
holds.
02 Δ4H and Δ24H
The change in trophies against the copy taken exactly 4 or 24 hours earlier. When that copy is missing, or the
player was not in it, the column shows a dash: an older copy is never put in its place, because the number would
describe a different stretch of time. The arrow next to the place is the same comparison for the place over 4
hours, the step at which the table updates. Trophies also fall while a player is away, when someone attacked their ship, so a drop is not proof of
playing; above 5000 only battles between Legendary players move them.
03 The month
The ladder is monthly and follows the calendar in UTC. On the 1st the game resets trophies above 5000 to 5000
and starts a new table; the last copy of the old month is its final standings, and picking a past month shows
those standings without deltas.
04 The player card
A click on a name opens the player's card. Its banner follows the latest sample of either the ladder or a league
roster: fleet and role, level, ship, trophies and the league of the current season; a fleet change shows once a
second sample confirms it. The days under the name are when we saw the player first and last.
League season gives WIN / LOSE for the season so far and SEASON RANK in its roster; W / L 24H is the wins and
losses of the last 24 hours, defences included. PLAYED 24H and the activity bars are explained on the League
tab. Monthly ladder gives MONTH RANK, the place in the latest copy (a dash outside the top 500), and BEST THIS
MONTH, the best place in this month's copies, with its day. Δ4H and Δ24H there give the change in trophies,
marked with a cup, and the change of place under it. The trophy line covers the copies of the last 30 days and
breaks at the 1st of the month.
The magnifier after the star next to a name means the player's owner is looking for a fleet. Only players
linked to a site account can set it, in MY PLAYERS, and it lasts 30 days unless renewed. Leaving a fleet keeps
it on; joining one turns it off, since the search is over. A player we have not seen for 7 days loses the
magnifier until they show up again. The looking for fleet box keeps only these players in the table.
05 Fleet history, past seasons and the market
Fleet history lists the stretches between fleet changes; a gap of more than 6 hours without a sample shows
inside a stretch rather than as a change. Past seasons give the final standing of each finished season we
followed. The Market seller plate on the banner appears when this exact in-game name sold on the player market
at the same time.
