Specilist Ranking List

This list is trying to evaluate the value of specialists by calculation in a military model. Not in player's subjective view, then offer a quick hiring preference by data . We can divide each specialist ability into such parts: 1.Production 2.Intelligence 3.Shield 4.Battle 5.Navigation 6.Special . Most of these parts can be evaluated by source and drains of drillers( cause the most important thing in game is to produce more drillers and move them into more outposts as we can). some particular specialists are not involved in this list, maybe add it later.
value here is evaluate by drillers in a 8 player balance game model.

Just.....no. I’m not even quite sure where you got you data points, but that is not very reflective of what specialists are most likely to cause you to win. Diplomat 3rd? The diplomat is awful. Elder, da, war hero 8-10; they are all my bottom 10. I made a specialist tier list recent so I’ll post it here, but it is in reverse order so the worst is on top.

Revered elder
Saboteur
Princess
Martyr
double agent
Diplomat
Intel officer
Infiltrator
War hero
MoE
Tinkerer
Thief
Assassin
Inspector
Sentry
Pirate
Hypnotist
Security chief
Foreman
Helmsman
Lieutenant
Engineer
King
Admiral
Navigator
General
Tycoon
Smuggler

On the whole, you have disregarded speed specs, which some may argue are the best in the game and the resulting listed is a little wacky with many niche specialists way to high up. If I were to give advice on how to correct it, first I’d say at a 7th category: versatility and then don’t rank the categories put them side by side

That’s what I thought too.
And the only time I’ve seen infiltrator above inspector was in the dictionary

I’d like to see one of these lists based off actual hiring statistics. Probably sample a few ranked games and see what’s hired, and what gets passed over.

I'm very confused by this list. Why is the diplomat so high. War hero, elder and DA all above smuggler? You also seem to be missing a few specs. Where is the Intel Officer, the hypotist, the nav or pirate? This is my list, ranked from worst to best that i made a week or so ago.

Elder
Martyr
Infiltrator
Princess
Thief
DA
Sabo
Diplomat
War Hero
MoE
Assassin
Intel Officer
Tinkerer
Inspector
Sentry
Hypno
Engineer
LT
Foreman
Helmsman
Sec chief
Pirate
King
General
Smuggler
Nav
Admiral
Tycoon
