So I've seen a lot of people disappointed about the current payout system and was remembering that when salvage/loot was referred to as being pretty WiP back in the day. Here's a reminder from the old page:
Quote:Once complete, the full system will allow players to influence the quality and quantity of the salvage they receive. Play in a battle with more players and more destruction, and there will more to salvage, and victory earns you the lionGÇÖs share of the spoils. Equip modules that assist you in finding better salvage, and you will become much more likely to receive higher quality items, such as the rare Officer-tier weapons. Quality and type of salvage will also potentially differ based upon the planet you fight on, with rare gear most likely found on nullsec planets.
I think those who believe that just because they bring expensive stuff into battle and kill a lot aren't always entitled to high profits. Half of profits are a function of costs (losses) as well. This shouldn't change. That being said, a revamped salvage system that worked something like the above could push us in the direction where new increased risks of assets you bring to the game (like salvaging modules). Also, having the security status of systems impact payout/salvage may be nice too. |

At the very least, what might be cool is just the option to scroll through listed salvage from any battle and sell it back to the NPCs on the spot for less than market price. This could help increase the sense of reward on the battlefield. |

It'd be nice if salvage was relevant to what you were actually hunting during the match.
Spent the match tracking down a proto player, specifically? Get rewarded with proto gear.
Spent the match hunting that Thale's user in the redline? Maybe that TAR-07 will turn up in your salvage.
I just think it would be a really nice touch to make people feel more like they're being rewarded for what they actually did.

I only partially like this idea. Most of the people that seem the MOST concerned about profits are the tryhards that are proto-slayers. They feel unjustly punished for going 30/3 and losing isk because their fits are so costly.
As far as reward for conduct in battle, unless there were officer items that corresponded to most roles, like healing, and equipment deployment, then really only slayers could be rewarded right now, unless the game could also give proto gear as salvage as well. |

I still think they should move over the Faction Warfare salvaging system but instead of 25% of what you kill maybe 15% instead?
