Overall I'm pretty happy with how war points are distributed, it could be and has been far worse. However here is list of suggestions on how to improve it. Many of those items have been suggested by others before, some are my own.
Tl;dr: Improve kill assists, WP for remote repairing vehicles, no more 100WP for neutral installations, award speed hackers based on hack speed, award dropship pilots, give more WP for using adv&proto injectors, award usage of active scanners on vehicles.
- Award WP for damage done, or at least remedy the inconvenience where you did 99% of the damage and some one else nicks it at the end.
- Award WP for remote repairing vehicles, both shield and armor.
- Award vehicle scanners in a similar way as infantry active scanners will be awarded. A side suggestion would be to introduce a new dropship exclusive active scanner with far greater radius than the ground equivalent. Then dropships could also double for recognizance giving the dropships more ways to earn WP.
- Awarding 100WP for destroying neutral installations needs to be removed.
- Speed hackers should be awarded more WP for how fast they hack.
- There have been many suggestions made to award dropship pilots and I know you are aware of them. However for completeness I'll mention my favorite one. Award pilots WP if recently deployed passengers successfully hack or kill. I also think all dropships should have built-in CRUs.
- Progression of nanite injectors has to be encouraged. Currently you get the same amount of WP no matter what injector you use. Ideally this should be awarded in such a way that the extra 20% - 50% armor repaired (compared to using the militia/std 30%) should give you as much WP as if you used the militia/standard injector and used a repair tool to repair the rest. That is currently the most efficient way to earn WP as a logi, use a militia/standard injector and repair the rest, or better yet, let your victim die again to get another 60WP for a revive. This is bonkers and should be corrected.
- Infantry AV guys have one of the worst WP earning potentials in the game. Infantry AV should be awarded WP based on the effort that went into the destruction. Example 1: infantry AV destroys a tank in a very short amount of time; 150WP + 50WP for each passenger. Example 2: infantry AV chases a tank for an extended time (upper cap) 450 WP + 50WP for each passenger. This bonus would only be available for infantry suits, not other tanks.
