So, seeing as there are going to be new and more ways to earn War Points, before that takes hold I'd like to know what the average number of Orbitals you get per match.
On a 3 person squad, we get at least 1 per match, though on more than 1 occasion we've had 3 orbitals (skirmish).
One of the things that I'm just really bad at in this game is killing people while they've been red-lined, however this is my corp-mates specialty. I'm kind of opposed to that, but not enough to stop them.
I've seen some people with ridiculous score before, like 40/1 or 50/0, being posted in chat channels. I didn't think they were lying, but I couldn't fathom how to get those scores. Turns out, it was from spawn camping and red-line camping... that doesn't hallmark a good player, it is a sign of poor sportsmanship.
But when a single person can get an orbital just from killing people as they spawn, there really isn't any mechanic in this game to deter them from doing it. Character statistics or K/D, Win/L, and War Points.
Playing with a 6 person squad, it is a guaranteed 2 orbitals on skirmish. What's going to happen with this new WP earnings?

Myself and a corp bud got 2 orbitals in one match the other day with just the two of us. It was a domination, too.

By myself; I get 1 every 9-10 matches. Depending on a lot of circumstances. (On average I score only about 1000/Ambush game, 1600/Skirmish, and I don't play Dom solo anymore) Full squads; we usually get 4-5 per game. WP farming in this game is too easy in certain aspects (Tanks, Logi uplinks, Forge Gun camping). And truth be told, I think to much emphasis is put on Orbitals. Everyone seems to work towards getting one instead of just playing the match and winning it. They are helpful, but aren't really super game changers unless used in a very ideal situation. Most of the time, they just pad the squad leaders score by 4-5 kills.
Its the typical killstreak mania that has enter FPS since CoD: MW2. In Dust the only killstreak (point streak) is the Orbital, since you can buy Airships, Tanks, and LAVs from the market.
But honestly ask yourself, how many kills does an Orbital get on average? Sure, you get the team clearing 12 killer once in a great while, but most of the time its 4. Whoop-dee-doo... An orbital is actually probably best suited to take out a HAV, or redline Sniper and/or Forge Gunner rather than clearing 4 scrubs off an objective. |

If im running on a full squad of wolves we are almost guaranteed 2 orbys and if their is another tanker on our squad then maby another 2 more. The most any squad iv been on has had was 6 orbs when me and another tanker from my corp got over 3500wp each and our gunners just soaked up the wp . 2 fully srocked havs = lots and lots of wp and thusly many obs.especially if the enimyspams malitia tanks  |

40/1 and 50/ to one doesn't come from just spawn camping. There's numerous situations where players could get that. Hell my boss could get that with little sweat if she was playing against a sucky team.
Playing with a 6 person squad doesn't guarantee 2 orbitals either. You could be playing with a sucky squad or a good team, either one will usually weaken the WP you get.
Also kills aren't the best way to get WP...The best way to do so is using gear and hacking. Uplinks and Nanohives should bring your WP up real fast while you're hacking.
I believe it was domination when my squad pooled in at least 9,200 WP with uplinks and junk and spammed the most intense area with OBs. They didn't really have a chance...<.<.

Remove WP reward from OBs. Winning shouldn't result in something that makes you win even more. |

Do you get much indication of when you get one when running solo? I've wondered if I've ever gotten one but not noticed? then again you need about 2400 WP, don't you? I generally don't get close to that. |

only if you are in a single person squad. I've missed out on so many OBs by forgetting to create a squad and lock it. |
