SV powers that be... in regards to missions

Can you pllleeeease consider removing mission ratings.
While when they are used normal, they can be great. Unfortunately, there are people who abuse and use those as a way to target and "hurt" people.
and the reality is that many will view a mission rating when trying to select a mission to play and scroll past those with low ratings. A low can ruin a mission.

I made a brand new mission, I realize it isnt anything great or spectacular. It is a very simplistic mission.
But this morning it had 11 plays, the rating was a 5 rate out of 7 plays. When I logged in this afternoon, the play count was up to 14 with a 4.3 rating.
Because of that the mission will probably be ignored by most. a mission that I invested a pretty good amount in.

I agree with this. When a mission is newly released and doesn't have many plays yet, all it takes is one jerk to come in and downrate and it totally messes up the ratings. If they were rating accurately, so be it, but honestly, I don't think any mission is worth a 1 since we all work on hard on them. Like space ratings that were abused on SW, mission ratings are the same way. There are also some competitive people that will do this, especially when they are entries for a contest. Please remove them.

looking through top rated.. majority of missions have this problem ... it soooo dumb! Why dont ppl just not rate at all instead of selecting the lowest rating.

Get rid of ratings ... change the mission panel from top rated and do featured missions, which can be rotated every so often.

I agree! Please remove mission ratings!

I do agree something needs to change, and I got into detail about this in another post. Payout vs. time played is the biggest for me. I also agree about rating... to an extent. It sucks, yes, but I think ratings are such a common normal category that it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't do away with it. BUT....if they don't get rid of the ratings category, at minimum there should be a 'Featured Mission' category, or use the current 'Approved' missions category to swap and change out missions monthly. This should happen every single month just like new items are released monthly.
