Regardless, this is a game not a statistics class. Yes, karma means nothing but it's interesting that both it and my win rate have been increasing at the same time. Oddly enough while having fun my karma has also been steadily increasing.

So, I'll be playing them a bit to see if I can push my win rate up a tad. I ran the Aviere in ranked and it was quite fun and worked out well, and the Nueve can be a beast when top tier. My best advice is to find a ship that you're good at, which you also enjoy playing, and stick with that if you want to improve your stats, if you care to. So, not a big fan of PR tbh but I suppose it can give you a broad idea of how you're doing. Personal rating (PR) also takes into account win rate (meh), kills (also meh since snagging kills of almost dead ships shouldn't improve your PR), damage done (sitting at the back farming while your team loses shouldn't help your PR), and survival (seriously with subs and carriers this should not count for much). Win percentage is something that you can influence, but in my humble opinion if your entire team throws you won't be carrying many matches.

I just try to play the best I can in each match and if I did well and my numbers went up a little bit, great, if not, so be it. As an average at best player chasing stats always seemed somewhat futile.
