The Hall of Fame gets its own page
The all-time rankings used to be a pop-up you cracked open on the join screen and closed a few seconds later. Now they live at /leaderboard — a real page, with a real URL, that you can bookmark, link and send to the pilot you just beat.
A modal is a dead end
When the leaderboards shipped, they rode in as an overlay: tap LEADERBOARD on the hangar, a card slid over the screen, you skimmed the boards, and you hit the × to get back to flying. It worked, but it was a dead end. You couldn't link it. You couldn't bookmark it. You couldn't fire it up on your phone to settle an argument without loading the whole game first. And a modal that darkens the hangar behind it always feels like something you're meant to dismiss, not somewhere you're meant to linger.
The Hall of Fame is the opposite of throwaway — it's the durable record of everyone who's ever flown here. It deserved a front door.
Its own front door
So it got one. /leaderboard is now a page you can go to directly, sitting right alongside /about and /live — the same clean look, the same deep cinematic backdrop — and it opens straight from the join screen, the About page and the Live page. It is, in every way that matters, a first-class page instead of a corner of the game UI.
The standings are the same live rankings you always knew, bots kept out so only real pilots make the wall. What changed is that they finally have room to breathe. All seven boards — Top Aces, Most Wins, Ship Killers, Siege Masters, Night Aces, Mission Masters and Streak Masters — tile across the page in two columns on a desktop and stack cleanly down a phone, each pilot's proudest career medal riding beside their name.
A wall, not a pop-up
It's a small change that feels right for anything meant to outlast a single session. Scoreboards belong in the game. Halls of fame belong on the wall — somewhere you can bookmark, send to the pilot you just beat, and point at to say, look, that's me.
