Currently HMG Sentinels are WP starved. No equipment slots mean we only get WP for slaying and hacking.
- Slow movement speeds mean we usually are not the first to get to a hackable objective.
- Slow movement speed means it takes us longer to get to the enemy, so a good Sentinel tends to get less kills when hunting (due to less engagements) than a good Assault or Scout.

The one time when a Sentinel does shine is when defending a heavily contested point.When the enemy are coming to me, my slow movement speed is not a factor in getting engagements. Of course, Logi with Uplinks, Nano Hives, Repair Tools, Scanners, Remote Explosives, or Nanite Injectors get a lot more WP than I do when I am defending a heavily contested point.

- Bonus points for kills/assists against someone who is hacking would be very helpful.

- Sentinels should also get a bonus for kills without 30m of a friendly objective. This would reward Sentinels for the defensive role that they are good at, and compensate them for their lack of an equipment slot.

So can you suggest a way of generating WP for doing that job? Looking for something comparable to the WP generation of a NanoHive. A supplemental source of WP that would help a heavy earn enough ISK in a match to pay for his gear. Something that would reward a Sentinel for defending a point, but would not be easily exploitable or generate too excessive of a WP gain.

What if it was +10 for kills and +5 for assists within 30m of a point?

The thing about tying the bonus to a kill is that it is not easily exploitable. If you tie it to damage done or damage received, it can be exploited a lot more easily.
