DUST Search - [Redline] How about this as a temporary fix

Judge Rhadamanthus wrote:

Fixing the redline is a big job. In the mean time it causes players to lose ISK to fellow players who are not even on the battlefield.

One temporary fix that would need less codeing and might be easier to develop and patch in :

The Temporary Solution wrote:

If any player or vehicle is killed by a player who is within the redline using a rail tank they die but do NOT lose their suit or vehicle.

This allows the redline to be used to push out of a pinned back position and create a window to advance by clearing the field but at the same time the rail tanks 300 meters into the redline, or indeed snipers who are not risking ISK cannot take ISK from others. We could limit this to just rails or rails and snipers.

This may stop the unfairness until a proper fix can be implemented.

EDIT : This is a little unrealistic but something is needed quickly as a lots of ISK is being added to the reward ISK pot unfairly. Sit in the reline with no risk. Kill 2 500k dropships and 1 500k tank and you added all that to the ISK reward (or salvage) at the end of the battle. ALl that booty but no risk to get it.

Judge Rhadamanthus Amarr Templar One 1141	Posted - 2014.01.05 14:17:00 - [4] - Quote A rail tanker shooting 500k tanks or 200k proto suits from his redline is not risking his ISK as the redline defends him. But he is able to destroy other peoples ISK. This rail tanker can kill people outside the redline, but they do not lose their suit or tank when it is destroyed. It goes back to their inventory.

Just the redline. Just rail tanks and snipers. He can kill and create attack windows but no-one will lose ISK to him. Everything Dropship youtube channel my Community Spotlight

Good idea! Problem with redline snipers is so old but still unsolved. I think that kills from redline should be worth al least 1/3 of WP if not 0 WP. It's also apply to sniper rfiles as well. Its not fun to be thaled to death over and over again from deep redline.

Would also be tempted to remove WP and in-match passive SP for any players more than 300m deep in their own redline. I support SP rollover.

Altina McAlterson Pure Innocence. EoN. 735	Posted - 2014.01.05 14:36:00 - [11] - Quote Wish they'd just come up with a lore reason for the redline that affected weapons in some way. Seems to be the most logical action. Is there a reason given that enemy soldiers die in the redline? Can't whatever that is affect weapons too? And as for the OP's suggestion this has been an issue for as long as there have been people logged in to DUST but I would caution that "temporary solutions" have a very nasty habit of becoming permanent.

The redline counter should be increased. To prevent spawn camps, if too many enemy units are in the redline measure could be implemented. There are already random spawns around the map, if "redline compromised" happens, mercs would begin spawning at the safest random spawn. we could hunt enemy units but still have a safe place for people who want to participate in the battle to spawn
