The U.S. Army retrieves whats left over of the Tank which helps them reduce the cost of constantly buying new tank... instead of pay the big 8.5 million price tag for the tank they only pay about 2 million because the most expensive parts of the tank (the hull or Armor is retrieved), With this in mind, How about letting tanker retrieve parts of their tank. By retrieve, I mean by giving us back 30% of what the tank was worth and adding it to our isk total in the end of the match. This will map tanks are bit more financially profitable and affordable.

Only if you win the match.

NO!

why not?

because if someone loses their tank, its most likely they lost it to a good team of coordianted dominating proto stomping game winning players...

then perhaps you should have considered it a bit more before you decided to risk a high value asset.

would be more reason to win so i don't have care if it is winning side only but i rather see the winning side get a high% back then the losing side.(70%w /30% L)

Perhaps the only reason its such a risk is because they cost so much but are completely **** when it comes to proto AV vs STD tank...

Are you complaining because PRO>STD? wat

I'm a tanker, and I think this plan is silly.

THE ARMY recovers the salvage, not you personally.

Guess what? The game already accounts for this. More value in destroyed assets means more value in post-match rewards. If lots of tanks die in battle, BOTH sides earn lots more money. If lots of protosuits are murdered, both sides earn more.

Also, your salvage is at least loosely tied to the amount and quality of gear destroyed in the match

Dude, I have lost my Falchion before and gone 20-1, I made 250k isk..

Did you kill lots of valuable targets who brought expensive gear? Or were they all running starter fits or modded starter fits or moslty Militia/BPO gear? What about your teammates? With a 250k payout, your Falchion was probably the single most expensive loss anyone in the entire match suffered.

Just because you lost one expensive item, doesn't mean that was backed by everyone else losing a whole lot of expensive gear.

ISK is based on gear destroyed and then is payed out by highest WP to lowest.

dude, idk what I killed but im certainly sure that 2.6 million isk was not distributed... We did have a very close battle... I had a squad of protos so idk... they musta had some protos to put up such a fight. BTW, sometimes i kill 3 protos a match when im running my stater fits but i still make SHlT money.

OP, it is hard to recall something that has burned to ash.

Maybe you get a dumpster full of ash ... or less. Might be enough to rebuild a small portion of an armor module.

Not to mention that you have forgotten Salvage and its many ramifications in DUST. If, and that is a hilariously big if, there was enough to recover than it would be Salvage. Thus your suggestion just costs the Tanks the same loss while providing the Reds that popped said tank more profit and they will use the results to build their own tanks or fund better tank popping.

What you are trying to accomplish can be fixed by two simple mechanics. Reduce the price of tanks. Or, leave it alone and when the Tanker runs out of ISK they will have to use AUR. Hey! I bet CCP would love that.
Might want to write CCP a note.

Here is a better process for future ideas:

See problem.
Have solution.
Stop.
Think.
Recall how DUST/EVE/New Eden works.
Realize that solution will violate the Gank Law of New Eden*.
Think of another solution.
Go to Stop.

Yes, I realize there is no way out. Welcome to the DUST.


* Gank Law of New Eden: Everybody gets ganked. HTFU. There is even a music video. By CCP.

I was just clarifying because of your post here.
