What exactly is Destroyed Ship Rating?

Like the title says, what exactly is Destroyed Ship Rating?

 

How does it rise? How does it go lower?

 

I would assume it rises or lowers depending on what kind of ship you use to kill different kind of ships  but I honestly got no clue.

 

Just wondering because mine was stuck at 1445 for a bit and then it started slowly rising again and upto 1485 atm.

Doesn’t explain what makes it rise or go lower because it can drop even if you win the game (Especially in T3 Regular it seems, dropped it below 1400 once by playing T3 Regulars).

it based on your rating and your killed opponents ratings. If someone lowrated newbie kills you, your rating will go down drastically, if some highrated pro kills you your rating will go down at much lower rate. Bots kills and deaths from bots has no effect on ratings.

That would make sense but it doesn’t explain why it drops in T3 battle where I don’t die and win the game, that is why I made this thread to begin with.

it refreshes not instantly but every few hours. Actually I don’t know the interval. May be 1 hour, may be 2

It does refresh for me after each battle though :l

so even if you haven’t played for lets say 16 hours, you do one match and the rate instantly changes?

Everytime I get the match result in the bottom right corner the rating changes at same time as my other stats do.
