Skill rating (or DSR what it was called for my time) is only an indication on how good/lucky you are at avoiding being killed and good/lucky killing others. The name should be changed to Death/Kill rating.
I don’t think it is possible in this game to measure skill in one number. But it might be good to add another number to the pilot stats that measures somewhat the contribution of each match leaving out how many times you died, it is similar to efficiency but takes into account what ship role/class you played.
But I think SR has one effect on players who care about it, learn how to survive in a match whilst killing a few others.
SR: the most useless PoS stat you’ll ever look at in this game. That number means exactly jack squat. It can mean a lot of things, such as your ability to run away like a coward, to self-destruct, but, most importantly, how much you can kill-steal.

Yep, but usually good players will have a higher number naturally, since they usually kill much more and die less than the average Joe.
I would say average efficiency needs to be accounted for in the skill ratting.
You also have to consider that stats reflect from the beginning of account creation until present. My stats used to be “below par” for various reasons.

same here, since I joined NASA I was a scrub with already 1500 games and horrible average kills and assists. Now I have to make a lot of +10 kills/assist every game to get +0.01 points
commands and engineer players have higher average assists, and I guess gunships and… maybe cov ops have more average kills
How can you explain my 3.00 average kills and I only fly the interceptor when in any given battle im in a command i can rack up to 15+ assists and some kills. LOL
Its all about your play style and the ships you fly that affect the stats.

with cov ops (not in 6v6 games or less) you should kill a lot i think
