Forever ETC Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 671	Posted - 2014.07.09 21:34:00 - [1] - Quote WP for Orbital Strike: Squad of Three(3) or Less- 2,500 WP to Deploy OB Squad of Four(4) or more- 5,000 WP to Deploy OB WP from Orbital Strike: 1) WP from OBs is reduced by half, a kill is worth 25 WP instead of 50 WP. WP from OB stack for the next OB. 2) WP from OB stay the same, and WP from OB do NOT stack for next OB. It's you're call for which of the two options to pick, personally I'd go for option 1.

Thokk Nightshade KNIGHTZ OF THE ROUND 448	Posted - 2014.07.09 22:37:00 - [4] - Quote 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! Thokk Kill. Thokk Crush. Thokk Smash.
Apocalyptic Destroyer RestlessSpirits 8	Posted - 2014.07.10 02:26:00 - [5] - Quote ^ Lock your squad ? ~R1P
Thokk Nightshade KNIGHTZ OF THE ROUND 449	Posted - 2014.07.10 02:30:00 - [6] - Quote 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. Thokk Kill. Thokk Crush. Thokk Smash.

Would like to do some of these things, can't without code and client update. lets face it, it would be buggy at best... i can see abuse of these already for option one and well two WP drop is just a bandaid. only thing really needs fixing is OB point share in vehicles which i haven't seen people do i a while so not major issue. You hate me, I hate you. Lets keep it that way. Level 11 2/10 Forum alt. "Its worth half a penny and a reach around"

I just think that Kills from Orbital Strikes should actually be Assists. After all, it is really the pilot who got the kill. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.
Cross Atu OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 2578	Posted - 2014.07.10 16:20:00 - [9] - Quote I'd still love to see some form of distributed WP earnings squad wide for the WPs gained by dropping the OB. 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). 0.02 ISK Cross Vote Cross Atu for CPM1- An emergent candidate

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. Thokk Kill. Thokk Crush. Thokk Smash.

The dark cloud The Rainbow Effect 3495	Posted - 2014.07.10 19:38:00 - [11] - Quote just set the WP requirements at 3750 which is 50% more then we have now.
