i've noticed this for a while, but wasn't completly sure of it until now.... my ranking points have frozen at 100, i've also noticed other players have stopped progressing and the ranking table is pretty much frozen.

i submitted a bug report about this but i thought i'd also post here because it's a serious problem with the game. This is because it allows powerful people to keep attacking weak people and stop them progressing at all, since the weak stay weak, while the powerful appear weak but keep getting stronger and stronger.... this has allowed me to grind experience for raiding over and over again on the same planet, which i'm sure they aren't happy about, but well, it's the fastest way for me to get officers so if it's letting me do it, i'll keep doing it :D

imo the problem will be similar to that of editting a forum post count as this seems to have happened when wannabeuk got like 20k+ ranking points. When you edit a post count on a forum (some forums anyway, don;'t think so on vB), it'll freeze the post count and most other peoples, because it doesn't know what the next number should be (or something like that), and so you have to click a "recalculate" button, or something similar, which makes everything run smoothly again. Maybe there is an admin button like that somewhere that needs clicking?? Anyway, thats only a guess at a solution to the problem... gl fixing it :D

I belive the ranking system only updates when syntax error presses a magic button, and wannabe has thousands of points because he cheated :P

its true, currently the ranking system has to be manually updated, the next version has an auto update feature that will mean this will no longer be a problem, and yes the reason i have so many points is because ive added a crap ton of buildings to my account to test stuff out :P
