List of All Fleets
Finally, the Fleet rankings v2 of all Space Engineers fleets has been done! Read here how to do that[spaceengineerspraisal.net].

The main achievement is that Fleet Rankings v2 can be automatically generated. The old Fleet Rankings v1 was awfully time-consuming to manually curate, with all human error problems on top of it. I'd even say it was faster to build the whole SE Praisal website, database, etc. to click the "generate" button in the end, than to manually curate all 192 fleets once (not even talking about finding those fleets in first place).

On the other hand, the automatically generated list has only few columns now - average subscribers, amount of ships, proportion of large/small grids, percentage of atmosperic/hydrogen/ion thrusters and wheels on the ships, as well all authors.

This basic list is only the beginning - it's easy to add new columns. But what columns matter in the first place? I think Malmhrid has summarized the goal best:

Wow, this is a massive undertaking, and I really hope you’ll see it through to the end product! I’m especially looking forward to the later, currently unfinished categories. Those may even work as a check list of sorts, for creators wanting to make creations/fleets that are of objective high quality. I’ll give the project some thought, and write again when I have more feedback. Great initiative!

So, creators and users, what columns would signal a objective high quality? Let's discuss!

same with stations, i complain because i mostly use collections because im useless at making my own ships ill be the first to admit that im a horrible ship designer.

something ive noticed about alot of collections they dont have mining or utility ships if they do its not many, mostly combat ships be it from a small fighter to a battleship but only a handful have mining or utility ships further more creating some ships is pretty much impossible to make in survival except the ones who actually have their subgrids blueprinted.

Thanks!

Yes, let's worry about it once they are on the rankings.

The code is written in Typescript language and React framework. Repo is here: https://github.com/Akuukis/sepraisal/

Bingo! I'm just ascing you to do it proactivly to all of my collections, except for that linked one! Though now that I think about it, while they are merged, they are different enough that perhaps it would be better to not black list them...? If you are confused, forget I said anything on the subject. Then we can cross that bridge if/ when my collections get on there!

Also, I haven't gotten into coding (I keep on finding only useless tutorials), but it will happen...

And, what is it coded in?

Understood, I imagine that filters like that could be useful. The code is on github, so feel free to make it yourself and open a pull request - I would gladly accept that.

I'm confused what you mean about blacklist. For me it's very simple - if a collection gets to the rankings that author doesn't want to be on rankings, I add it to blacklist and then it's filtered out. There has been requests to do so, exactly for the reason of having multiple overlapping top-level and sub collections.

And, what do you mean "Blacklist"? (Also, that CHTech Industries collection, with the link, is the "Top Level" one, so, just blacklist all my lower level ones. Also, what you could add is the ability to whitlist and blacklist, so you could go and say "No collections by CTH2004" (Blacklist), but then it goes through the whitelist and "This collection", even if blacklisted, allowing you to blacklist many collections at once.

Okay...

I know that right now none of mine would be there, I am just saying I just want my main one there (Or, more acuratly, I doubt you would like to risk having 5 or 6 of my collections)

As for the search, I mean like the ability to search and filter. For instance, I could search, and see if any collections have "Advanced" in the name, and if so, what they are. The other's aren't shown. The search function just highlights the results. You could then filter it to be all collections that say, have wheeled vehicles in them, and no small grid ships. So on. That would allow someone to find collections with, say, rovers easily. Or fighters (Since most fighters are SG)

@CTH2004,

Just press CTRL+F to open search of your browser. There's no need for anything more fancy than that.

I checked and can confirm that none of CHTech collections are on the rankings. Please read more on how the rankings are made to see the reason why.

It doesn't deal with collections of collections. A easy solution is to blacklist your top-level collection.
