Operation Mauler
It's time for the heavies to make their power known on the battlefield! From February 19th to March 5th, players can participate in Operation Mauler, where heavy suit users will be pitted against those who stick to the lighter suits to prove their skills. This event will run across all contract types.

Wear a Basic Heavy or Sentinel dropsuit and score kills with heavy weapons to earn bonus SP and extra weapons to continue your destructive rampage! For every kill you make with a HMG or Forge Gun, you'll earn extra 500 SP (up to a cap of 500k SP), plus one Prototype AUR version of the weapon you used (up to a total of 300). Plus, if you kill a vehicle, you'll earn double the WP earned for the kill as bonus SP (up to a cap of 250k SP). That means there's a potential total of 750000 bonus SP to be earned!

But life as a heavy isn't all tank kills and bonus SP. Because anyone who scores a kill against a player wearing a Basic Heavy or Sentinel suit will earn bonus 250 bonus SP (up to the same 500k SP cap) plus an ISK bounty based on the tier of the dropsuit (capped at 10 million ISK).

Militia GÇô 2000 ISK
Standard GÇô 10000 ISK
Advanced GÇô 25000 ISK
Prototype GÇô 50000 ISK

So, I have some questions.
How much point I can get when I kill a vehicle? Is it includes only vehicle destroying point(for example:if I killed a tank, I get 150*2=300SP as bonus.) or includes killing the driver(it adds 50*2=100 points)?
And can't I get the SP if I use AV grenades, swarms, or so?
The other question is about killing heavy suits.Can I get SP as bonus,when I kill the heavys while I use medium or light suits,or using light weapons?

(Excuse me for my poor English, but many japanese mercs are waiting the answer.)

For the bsic heavy-suit, I think there are militia versions available (I use a Blueprint sentinel), otherwise it requires very little SP to get lvl 1.

With so many fatties running around, reppers will be out in full force. More leaderboard #1 spots filled with 0/10kd & 6000wp. I really like these competitive events, even if they point new players to skill into flash-in-the-pan fits. I wanted to start shanking rools during the scout games, but NK's don't fit me for the long run. Chasing chubbies & there wingman sounds excellent though!

Or are they different caps meaning you can get a total of 1 million bonus SP (plus the 250k for killing vehicles)? They share the same pool. You can earn a total of 750k from the event.

You know? I don't wanna be negative but I think this 750k SP opportunity is their attempt to side step a refund. Still good event I like how there seems to be more, maybe sloppier, events and the huge SP pool kinda compensates that. Gonna ask this again, cuz skimming through the thread couldn't see any answer from a dev at least: do blueprints like the Templar and Dren Sentinel count?

There are TWO important questions still left unanswered: 1. which BPOs, if any, count? (my vote: if kill is by a heavy weapon, it should count!) 2. What if you get a vehicle kill, and there are heavies inside? That could theoretically count towards either reward, depending on what youre wearing at the time. So... what are the answers, CCP?

The GMs take great pleasure in squishing people that boost in these events. well considering in a "real" pc that there are only 2-4 scouts per side, and hardly any needles being used, I could take a wild chance and say that any battle with 100+ scout deaths on any side would be considered "boosting".

I like the bonus SP idea, but why do the Heavys get 500 bonus SP per HMG/FG kill and we only get 250 SP per kill. Assuming the we can kill the Heavys with anything.

Militia GÇô 2000 ISK Standard GÇô 10000 ISK Advanced GÇô 25000 ISK Prototype GÇô 50000 ISK So, I have some questions. How much point I can get when I kill a vehicle? Is it includes only vehicle destroying point(for example:if I killed a tank, I get 1502=300SP as bonus.) or includes killing the driver(it adds 502=100 points)? And can't I get the SP if I use AV grenades, swarms, or so? The other question is about killing heavy suits.Can I get SP as bonus,when I kill the heavys while I use medium or light suits,or using light weapons? (Excuse me for my poor English, but many japanese mercs are waiting the answer.) For killing a vehicle in a heavy suit with a Forge Gun you will get double the SP and double the driver kill. We are looking into if counting passenger kill is possible. Only vehicle kills with the Forge Gun count or HMG (on LAV for example) will receive double SP. However, you can use AV grenades or swarm launcher to weaken the vehicles first. Yes on the last question you get the kill heavy suit SP reward. However, if you kill a heavy suit with a HMG then you will get credit for both objectives i.e. kill bonus with HMG and kill bonus for the heavy.

The potential total bonus SP from the event is 750K SP per character. The 500K pool is for all infantry kills i.e. both killing heavies or killing as a heavy. But I am open to discussions on this. We are working towards rewarding players when they accomplish the event goals, but for now the rewards will be given after the event has concluded.
