    True, but I meant *during* the actual battles.  And instead of
putting the number of deaths and the number of kills, maybe sticking on
the division of the two.  Yeah, yeah, I know I can whip out a calculator
(or do it in my head), but just seeing that 'Killer' has a 10:1
kill/death ratio would make me want to avoid him (or try to knock his
ratio down), as opposed to seeing that he has 20 kills (when he only has
two deaths).  
    Maybe there's room for some other indexes that will show rapidity of
kills per certain time period, underdog-index where it can show the
value of your weapons proportional to your enemy's when you kill him/her
(too much computation though), ad nauseum.  I know it's too late for any
suggestions to pop up in the registered version, but it'd sure be cool
to have lasting statistics or some kind of tournament mode where certain
options could be switched off or on.  For example, an invincible reactor
that blows up after someone has a certain number of kills would be
great!  We constantly have a problem with a guy name YKNAPS that kills
the reactor at the beginning of each level, and then the other 7 of us
have to rush to the reactor, only to do it over again immediatly at the
next level.  It's really annoying and we've had to assign "protectors"
of the reactor just so we can have a decent game.. ugh.
