I feel the Logis should take on your post Thokk. Kills gain salvage, however warpoints generate Isk. Back in the 1.9 update, it was super profitable for Logis who were getting 4500 warpoints in an Ambush, whereas I ran this with a corpmate, and he only made 600k after losing 4 proto min logis. He went negative in isk...but had 4500 warpoints in an Ambush. Under SMB's system, the slayers kill suits, gain the salvage. However, warpoints added to the mix also generate money. Reason being according to this scenario that we ALL have experienced:
You are throwing Viziam Flux uplinks behind a dark corner, breathing hard and cloaking up. You sprint, but you know it isn't fast enough, for scouts and the whole enemy team are tracking you. You yearn for blueberries to spawn in, even as a distraction, but hell, Dust 514 has no blueberries lol. You turn a corner, and see a whole squad cut you off. This happens over and over, death after death as blueberries spawn in and get slaughtered. You wrap up points, kill wave after wave with your guns till you run out of bullets and melee until you die, only to find no blueberries out of the redline. You use up 2 million Isk trying to win a match, top of your team, 30 kills, 5000 warpoints- 300k isk. In fury, you shut off your PS3.
Under the new proposal: Salvage gained directly from kills would make the game instantly richer. See an enemy using a Balac? Target him. You suicided for a Thales? Now it's yours, and you get to sell it. Or when Player Trading comes out- Pawn it off.
The warpoint payout just makes Logis able to sustain their jobs, because we all know losing a 250k suit hurts our hearts like nothing else, even if you have isk to burn.
This could also tie in Daily Missions and hunting down particular suits with certain weapons, etc. Hell, have it where killing X amount of suits and using X amount of isk allow you to craft a key?
These ideas are were also plotted due to the topics on the Roadmap, which highlight Player Trading and Simple Crafting.
07, thank you for your time
