Are there going to be any pilot/unit metrics that are publicly viewable?
Things for individuals like total number of kills, kills per weight class, or something more pilot-specific like some way to measure the effectiveness of a 'scout' pilot.

If this is a collection of merc corps/factions, then we may be hiring other groups for "jobs". Some info on effectiveness of our potential hires would help.

...also, there's the bragging rights!

As a PvP focused game, the devs could take a page from Eve Online's killmails.

Are you worried that like WoT you'll end up with either amazing or terrible stats?

A real easy fix for this would be to disable your stats so they cannot seen by anyone (including yourself).

I kinda wish I could do this in WoT as people are using a mod that tells them my stats in the game..... so they target me first :/

How would you measure a scout's effectiveness? A proper scout will rarely, if ever, get a kill shot in. His job is to spot, & let others deal the damage. Maybe get a few pot shots in just to add insult to injury.

I hope stats are left out or only viewable by the pilot because there would be those who would refuse to play a scout and only play heavier mechs to beef up their stats regardless of what the team currently needs on a map.

You can include group kills so that your scouts get credit for kills that other lancemates make.
