Your pay is based on a % of your team pool (which is based on enemy assets destroyed) plus a small baseline for "time spent" playing, which is directly based on your warpoints relative to the rest of your team...

50 or 60 points a kill is simply too slow compared to everyone else hacking and destroying vehicles/turrets and using reppers, revivers, derplinks, so on so forth.

Also don't be a nutter when using a thale, use it on an HP maxed sentinel/logi or you will start losing them to counterfire...

I usually earn 230K-ish isk per match which is pretty nice as a sniper, but only because I WP-farm with 5 different simultaneous well-placed derplinks.

Well, everyone has always said snipers are meaningless... since they are, they shouldn't get jack diddily in ISK.

I think I do well. I can hold a team at bay and demoralize the hell out of them in Domination. For this I think I deserve ISK, also I am usually in the top 5 on my team when I play sniper and all my WP's are from kills. Also thanks for the compliment, it made me want to go head shot some poor soul just to see the kill feed Lol

CrotchGrab 360 Forsaken Immortals Top Men. 353	Posted - 2013.10.25 23:18:00 - [1] - Quote Can't wait to unlock the Thale soon so I can step away from all this BS and cause people to rage instead when their proto suit goes down with 1 shot. Surely if you're constantly taking down people in fancy suits with 1 shot without dying you get quite a lot of ISK right? Regardless I can't wait to just camp on a hill somewhere, pop an uplink, pop a coldy, maybe put down a nanohive by the campfire and just rain hell down on all those people who have more SP than me because I can't be bothered to play this game that often.

Isk payout is based on what you destroy and sp gain is based on wp gain I think. Of course if there's no protos on the enemy team you need a lot of kills to get a nice wedge of isk, especially if they run cheap fits.

calvin b Molon Labe. RISE of LEGION 761	Posted - 2013.10.25 23:35:00 - [8] - Quote I run the Thale because it just feels right. I love to kill anything that moves. I am over 350M from most my targets and all I see is red and I shoot. Do not care what you are running, all I care about is that sweet sweet sound when that bell goes off. Also I love one shot kills on heavies and proto's. I always imagine them cursing at the screen as they cant believe they died in one shot. Guess what, it was a head shot and I did it from over 400M away

Or, if I got one shotted by sniper I would think to myself "Probably Calvin and his Thale's..." killscreen comes up, YUP!

I'm just going to play with a charge for a while until I find good sniping spots. Only have 29 Thales and don't want to lose them to BS. Well I can have 570 armour with damage mods so maybe that's enough to survive, not a Thale but to survive at least something!

I am determined to take someone's thales away from them. I got three the other day....on a different merc.

You can use any old sniper if you want to get some kills, but if you want to break their will, you use a Thale.
Cass Caul Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 178	Posted - 2013.10.26 19:54:00 - [30] - Quote Honestly, I make bank sniping. You get a squad leader to put the defend order n you and it is 72 WP per head-shot. get 20 kills with about half head-shots, that's 1320 WPs. After I cap out, once I have 1000 WPs I stop playing the match and just find a place to hide, turn my controller upside down so I run into a wall and AFK
