DeadlyAztec11 Ostrakon Agency 3774	Posted - 2014.02.01 02:45:00 - [1] - Quote The MD, Laser Rifle, Sniper Rifle and Plasma Cannon all fall under the Support weapon category. I believe that kill assists with these weapons should reward the user with more SP. Currently all kill assists grant the user 25 WP. I propose the number be raised to 45 points for the above stated weapons. Who agrees with this motion? My alts: General John Ripper, Draxus Prime, MoonEagle A, Anarchide, Long Evity And this is why I am the #1 forum warrior

Faunher Ivory Vanguard 127	Posted - 2014.02.01 05:55:00 - [5] - Quote I believe the plasma cannon was originally purposed as an AV gun, the sniper rifle is an anti-infantry alpha weapon, and the laser rifle was originally meant as the Amarr's racial rifle (before the ScR). The only true support weapon here is the MD (and arguably the PL). Kill assists should truly be based on the damage done though. It is wrong that someone can sneak in a final bullet and get twice the points that the person who did the most damage did. Suppression would also be a neat feature to implement. It would add more purpose to a lot of the weapons, and would create more strategic depth on the battlefield.

Basically, each kill grants 120 WP, but each attacker can get a maximum of 50. So if two players do roughly equal damage, each will get 50. If a third one comes, he'll get an amount dependant on how much he contributes. If he contributes a lot, the other two will get less.

The only support weapon are Laser rifle and Mass driver. 45 is too high => 35 will be more balanced. (same than guardian)

Support weapons are weapons that don't directly kill enemies. Sniper rifles soften them up by sitting far away. Plasma cannons soften them up by having splash. Same for Mass drivers and Laser Rifles. Supposedly, PLCs are AV, but they are only decently useful against infantry and rarely get the actual kill.
