I have a better idea.

First, increase the WP required for a Warbarge Strike. These things should be used as "game changers" as opposed to a win button used to exacerbate stomping, especially when you consider how a single Warbarge Strike can annihilate an entire team.

The requirements for one are 2500WP simply because squads used to only have 4 people, and there weren't nearly as many ways to earn WP as we have now.

I do agree with removing the ability to gain WP earned from the Warbarge. The average strike gets about 10 kills, which leads to about 500WP. If you have the squad members repair the leader that squad can earn up to 2250WP from the Guardian action, and when you have everyone scan the area before dropping the Warbarge, the squad can earn 750WP from Intel Kill Assists.

That alone is 3575WP, which can grant a squad yet another Warbarge Strike and still leave them with a spare 1075WP (that's half of the WP required for another Warbarge Strike mind you).

However, I do believe there should be a small reward for using the Warbarge Strike, as you are making a contribution to the team by using one. I think 100-150WP for Warbarge Deployment would seem fair.

I'd say 7200 WP would be the best.

That way every member of the squad would have to make at least 1200 WP to get one.

So WP's should be reserved for full squads of proto people to even further stomp other players? 7200 is way too high. 2500 is currently fine.
