The more I've been thinking the about this, the less I'm liking the idea in general to have a "tier" for OB's. What if you start a squad with 3 and then right before access to Orbital, some blueberry joins your squad? Now you have to work for the higher point value?
Also, this is a game of teamwork. Lone Wolfing shouldn't be able to gain OB's. Now, are there times when I'm on and I can only get 1 or 2 people in a squad just because of #'s? yes, and at those times I just have to accept the fact I won't be getting Orbitals. I love the idea of 5000 WP for an Orbital. That may keep some of these squads from dropping 5 or 6 of them in a single Dom/Skirmish Match.
I also believe in Ambush, each squad should be limited to 1 orbital (regular or OMS). This again makes it more about the gun game, which is what Ambush is supposed to be.
However OP, I completely agree with your assessment of making WP's from an Orbital not stack towards another OB. I had one today where, with kills and equipment, I think I had 325 WP's off of 1. That should NOT be going towards my next one and make it even easier for a squad to drop multiples. Each point should be earned.
CCP Rattati, I understand that last part can't happen, but THANK YOU for everything you are doing for Dust. Keep up the good work sir!

Yes, that is a possibility. However, I've met quite a few cool guys who just randomly join my squad and now I have them on contact lists if I'm looking to fill it out. So, while you're technically right, I'd prefer not to. It still doesn't answer the question of what would happen in that instance. It is simply a workaround.

You earn the OB as a squad, why should the SL gain all the WPs from it? (I'm usually SL in my squads so as things are I gain more than under the distributed proposal, but distributed is just generally more fair).

This was part of Rattati's Charlie update info:
Bugs/issues that need Client update
Pilot stacking bug
Unfair fall damage calculation
Unfair War points and distribution from OB kills
Directional arrow for enemies on minimap bug
#4 is the one you're talking about. I am in COMPLETE agreement and hopefully we can get one more client update before this game goes away and get this fixed. I agree it should be distributed evenly instead of all going to the Squad Lead.
