The isk destroyed on the opposing side also plays a part in your overall payout.

For the last month people have been running a lot of militia gear for whatever reason. I imagine FW running people dry may have a part to play in this. But it's killing payout across the board.

Factor in vehicles have become much, much, much cheaper and thats another section of your paycheck that takes a major hit.

Didn't know this. Please make vehicles cost more then.

I think your cut is based on your placement in the end scoreboard. While you may have got a ton of WP, many others likely got a to more WP than you; that's my guess at least. Its a crappy system.

ISK destroyed should go solely to who destroyed it.
Not divided among the team and including Mr. 0/13 and the guy AFKing while he went to take a **** or watching Parker Lewis Can't Lose on Netflix.

so a sniper who waits and steals kills should get more than the guys he's stealing from?

What about logibros who can really turn the tides of battles without getting a single kill? Or Dropship pilots (not ADS)?

I really don't know.
My main point was that the useless fucks at the bottom shouldn't get something for nothing. Not to say they didn't try, but the real winners shouldn't be forced to conduct a charity on their behalf.

I agree entirely. As for logibros and yes I partially run logistics with full equipment (also do combat effectively though), they should receive Isk. They contribute to WP through scans, reps, revives, respawns and hives. It's all these guys at the bottom of the boards that go 0-10, 0-17 with 0 or 25 WP that shouldn't get much of anything.

As for dropship pilots, for certain maps I actually depend heavily on those, so yes they should get WP. Perhaps there can be some sort of bonuses pilots can get if someone drops in from their ships and gets a hack within a certain time, or gets kills. If we have a great pilot who calls in dropships at the start of a match, I'll use my logi suit with multiple uplinks types and put them on roofs and towers.

Money
ISK is the primary currency in the EVE Universe and a necessity for fighting wars. You will earn ISK from each battle you fight. The size of the reward depends on your contribution and the cost of the battle. Those who contribute more are rewarded handsomely, but all mercs are guaranteed a solid income.

A portion of the reward pool for each battle depends on the value of items destroyed in the battle. If the battle saw countless vehicles and expensive prototype gear destroyed, everyone is in for bigger rewards. ISK rewards are calculated as follows for each participant:

Base rewards: Every mercenary receives basic compensation for each battle they fight. The size of the reward depends on the time you spent fighting, so joining a battle late will net you lower earnings. Value of objects destroyed in battle has no bearing on this part of the reward.

Team rewards: The total rewards calculated from the value destroyed are split between the participating teams, with the winning team earning a larger share. Then, each participant earns a cut of the total rewards that their team received based on the time they spent in the battle. If youGÇÖre late to the party, youGÇÖll earn a smaller cut.
Individual rewards: Finally, every participant receives a reward based on their individual contribution on the battlefield. Mercs earn war points based on their actions in the course of each battle, and the more war points you score, the higher your cut of the total payout.

Having a solid income is necessary, as you will be using the ISK you earn to buy upgrades, and to resupply any gear you lose during combat. Everything you take into battle in DUST 514 can get destroyed. Luckily, most items are in ready supply should you have the cash.

Joining a player-run corporation might make your life more comfortable and earn you reliable funding, but you will have to rely on your personal earnings until you find a corporation to take you in.
