Default PBW Feature Request: Shipset Popularity

You know what would be cool to have on PBW? A ranking of all the shipsets saved on the server in terms of how many games they've been used in! Every time you submit your empire, you already have the option to select a shipset, so why not tally up how many times each shipset has been selected and list the top 20 or so sets in a "Shipset Hall of Fame", as well as list a shipset's score and ranking next to its name on the donwloads page (i.e. instead of just "Stock Shipset - Jraenar" it would say "Stock Shipset - Jraenar (8th place, used in 1664 games)")

Anyone else think this would be a neat idea? Would it be too difficult to implement?

You know what I would like? That my games be listed in order of when the turns are due. That way I can just go down the list, do the turn for the game that has the nearest deadline...

A Statistics page on who plays the most PBW games, who wins the most, who are the high score players... I.E. a page that collects the high scores from each game in progress and displays them with a total from all of that players games ever played and currently being played.

The more you play, and the better you do the higher your cumalative score would be.

Of course statistics works for just about anything.

But please, don't change the main layout of the text UI.
That would ruin my applications automatic webbrowsing, as it serches for keywords found infront of the data it searches for..

New buttonsm different order etc is no problem but don't change the commands that the ui uses to switch to different screens.

ie
code:
http://seiv.pbw.cc/text/index.jsp?menu=gamemenu.jsp%
3fgame=122k2dv&body=gamebody.jsp%3fgame=122k2dv

where I could for example search for "=gamebody.jsp" and the get the data that is X numbers behind it in the string and get 122k2dv

interesting idea. send it off to the pbw admins to chat about.

Perhaps after the server is back up to 100 % it can be looked at.
