Moving to a score/honour system doesnt mean that someone with very few ships will be ranked number 1. Your ships still play a vital part in your ranking because its these ships that gain you your score in battle. The fewer ships you have the lower planet value you have so the smaller targets you can hit . When your attacking a planet in this system your score increase is dependant on the honour multiplier and the kills you make. The honour multiplier encourages you to attack bigger targets than you would before (and losses you score for attacking those too small) and the fact that the kills are part of the equation means that that the greater the value you are the greater valued planets you can attack whom have more ships so more potential score for yourself and ultimatly a greater ranking gain. So if you go out and lose your fleets you wont immediatly drop places but your hinder your progress in future because your potential targets will yield lower score gains and you may find you cant attack anyone for a while as you rebuild thus losing more ranking places.

As for saying some people dont care about rankings and just want to bash, thats their choice but doing so will see them lose more and more score while those being bashed may lose roids and ships But they wont lose everything they have gained during the round. These acheivments in this system are with you throughout the roun (unless you decide to bash and lose them that way) and actually when being bashed you are most likly to come away with greater score than you started as the value difference will reward you greatly for any defensive kills you make
