Let's look at the math here. We'll look at how much a good player earns in a single match. In this case I have seen a player earn as much as 2500 WP in a single match. So let's go with that number as the base line.

Base Line:
2500 WP in a single match for a single player.

Your math:
200,000 + ( WPs * [4,000] ) = X

200,000 + ( 2500 * [4,000] ) = 10.2 million ISK

However, since a single skirmish match will generally take about 15 minutes, that will equal to about 900 seconds worth of match time. Assuming that a player somehow managed to gain WPs during each of those seconds, the formula changes accounting for the 60 seconds taken up by the start of the match. Don't forget this if before time is subtracted for team killing.

200,000 + ( [900-60] * [4,000] ) = 3.56 million ISK

I have not participated in a PC match in a very long time ever since D-UNI ditched that prospect a long time ago so I'm not sure if this is still a normal amount of income for a PC match, but during the 1 time in which I did participate back when D-UNI still had a district, the amount of ISK I earned back then was about 2 million ISK.

The math seems about right. Please correct me if I made a mistake in the formula.

The math seems about right. Please correct me if I made a mistake in the formula. I like the numbers. so, the high cap of a battle is 3,560,000 ISK + winnings bumps it up to about 6,000,000. which isn't bad, but an upper limit of, say 7,000,000 ISK should be enforced. the rest should go to corp wallet. There is a reason you never see me in battle. it's because I see you first.
