a good tanker will get hit once or twice and bounce. Then hel come back shortly after and repeat. You would get so many warpoints so quickly you wont even want to kill the tank, youd farm the hell out of his tank for points

There are already many farming methods, and all are way more effective than this. We can't live in fear of boosters best way to deal with it is to just seperate the relationship of WP and OB, then no one will care about farmers/boosters.

i agree. but if WPs dont give orbitals then there is no purpose to collect warpoints

But CCP reduced pts for everything

Like being a log you get so many pts then it stops even thos you are still repping ppl, when you kill some one or revive ppl the pts dont stop

Same with spider tanking and DS, no pts for anything

They were removed because they were being used for farming. Once some of our new anti-farming stuff comes online and we've had a chance to see how the vehicle gameplay is developing we'll consider bringing them back.

restrict WP payout in case vehicles are recalled



...

Bringing this back is the only way I would accept an AV damage nerf . As long as killing is the only way for the AV trooper to be compensated for his work , then he should be able to kill . Despite what tankers think AV is NOT cheap .

Imagined Vehicle:
2000 HP Shield
6000 HP Armor
600 WP Potential (Armor_HP / 10)


1) Awarding WP:
As vehicle takes shield damage, no WP is awarded.
As vehicle takes armor damage, WP can be awarded:
If Armor_HP drops below WP_Potential*10
WP_Award = WP_Potential - Armor_HP/10
WP_Potential = WP_Potential - WP_Award
Owner_WP_Vehicle_Payout = Owner_WP_Vehicle_Payout + WP_Award

Purpose: Limit WP payout from damaging vehicles

2) Dealing with recalls
If a user recalls a vehicle, the next vehicle shall have a limit to its WP_Potential:
If Vehicle called
WP_Potential = WP_Potential - Owner_WP_Vehicle_Payout
If Vehicle destroyed
Owner_WP_Vehicle_Payout = 0

Purpose: restrict WP payout in case vehicles are recalled



Alternative WP_Potential for vehicles:
WP_Potential = Vehicle_ISK_Cost / 1000


Alternative to dealing with recalls:
Only pay out Damage WPs upon the destruction of the vehicle...

how would you feel about bringing back mcc damage points?

Then we'd be rid of you that much faster :D

In all seriousness though, good luck getting that to work at all in a full match without someone on one side or the other either trying to stop you or trying to 'help' you kill the LAV.

I hope you are not serious. If you think ppl would have any difficulty boosting, you are deluded - ppl who are serious about squeezing SP out of the game in the shortest time possible are not noobs, they would have that scheme working like a well oiled clockwork in no time.
