"Popular Content" is not relative based on time.

[Aynslei]

Its pretty straight forward, we need an overhaul for what decides what is "popular" and not.

At the very least it needs to account for age of said content. New patches beak ships constantly and not having a relevant way for players to find well like content that is relevant to current patches is bad.

It might not affect me directly considering I keep most of my work private, but we really need a breath of life to the community content and to get new visitors looking at more relevant ships to the current state of the game.

I think I suggested something awhile ago,maybe a side tab on community content page,with "top 15 of the week" and "top 15 of the month" that you can choose from,calculated on the number of downloads/likes it got during 1 week/1 month

 

[Madman198237]

Very good suggestion. Not to be insulting or anything like that, SkylordLuke but your 1.5 year old Infinity build, while cool, is, well, old.

So are your other 2 top-five placers from CC.

An algorithm that would introduce age into the determination for popular content on CC would be nice. I just wonder how updates to builds would affect that.

seems relevant Suggestion - Bring back the time range filters in content

 

[Zeno9141]

Suggested this too 3 months back. Got almost completely ignored.
Popular Content

It might just suffice to have a "Version" filter. That way you can just view stuff that is up to date with the current version, or whatever version your using.

Nah that'd be very unreliable especially in regards to popularity. It's not so much about being up to date but more about that certain creations have been in the spotlight for too long, creating a vicious circle of 5-star ratings keeping them so high up.

Besides that system wouldn't be any easier to implement than a time limit.

poor zeno
but yeah it needs to be somewhat like what steam is using for artwork and such

 

[Aynslei]

Can we get any kind of update or response that SMD is aware of this issue? I would rather this thread not take the same fate as poor Zeno9141 's.
