The collection split in two: aircraft and ships each got their own page
The Collection tab on your public profile had quietly broken its promise. It was supposed to be the showcase of everything you've collected, but what it actually did was slice the top 24 cards from one global rarity-sorted list. That sort had a bias baked in: aircraft rarities go up to six tiers (legendary, mythical), while ship rarities top out at four. The moment your collection had a couple dozen decent aircraft, they outranked every single ship you owned — and the "collection" section became an aircraft wall. Your ships, your flags, your legends, your aircraft types: all invisible, even though the header claimed they existed. And there was exactly one link out, a "View all" in the corner.
That section is now a proper overview, built in two layers.
The first layer is a row of stat tiles: aircraft, aircraft types, ships, flags, legends — each with its count, and each one clickable, landing exactly on the matching collection page. Empty sections don't show a zero — a tile only appears once you've collected something in that category.
The second layer is rarest catches per kind. Instead of one mixed top-24 that a single scale dominates, the profile shows up to eight of your rarest aircraft and up to eight of your rarest ships, as separate strips, each with its own "All N →" link. The server picks these per kind, so the six-tier scale can no longer crowd out the four-tier one.
Two collections, two URLs
The collection page itself used to be one URL with two tabs, and the aircraft tab didn't even survive a page reload as an address you could share. Now the split is real: /{username}/dex/aircraft is the aircraft collection — airline and manufacturer shelves, the by-type wall — and /{username}/dex/ships is the ship collection — flags, shipyards, the sortable vessel wall. Aircraft comes first everywhere: in the page switcher, in the profile tiles, in the highlight strips. Each page carries its own title, its own social preview, and its own search-engine gate: a prolific plane spotter's aircraft page can rank even while their ship page is still thin, and vice versa. The old /{username}/dex links keep working — they redirect permanently to the aircraft page.
One genuine bug died along the way: on aircraft pages the breadcrumb's middle link pointed at a URL that doesn't exist as a page, so clicking it dropped you onto the game's welcome screen. The trail now knows the aircraft routes properly — from any airframe, type, airline or manufacturer page, the "Collection" crumb takes you to your aircraft collection, and from ships, shipyards and flags to your ship collection.
One more small thing: if you haven't caught anything yet, your own profile now tells you where to start instead of showing nothing at all. Visitors still see a clean page — an empty section simply doesn't render.
