1. 50 meters is too shallow. With my Minscout I can sprint 50 meters in just under 5 seconds, spent maybe 10 seconds stabbing people, and still have enough time to run out before Lady Redline has her way with me. And this is just with me stabbing people at 2.5 meters. Imagine AR, CR, SCR, LSR, and MDs spawn killing people in there. Bad idea is bad.
2. We tried that once back in closed beta. Didn't make any difference for solo players who still acted solo people who were solo didn't even realize they were squad leaders for that match and thus people often didn't bother using squad commands.
3. But then how would you account for players who came in late in the match and suddenly earned 100,000 ISK even though they didn't do anything because Scotty put them in 3 minutes before the match ended?
4. I agree. But for god sake don't throw in more strongboxes as rewards and I sure as hell don't want more savant missions.
5. Neat idea, but then this will encourage even more pub stomping from corps who are qsyncing into pubs.
6. I'm neutral on this matter.

I feel like pulling my hair out sometimes when it comes down to dominating or being dominated because a group of players choose to sit in the redline. I just feel like I'm wasting my time playing matches now-a-days.
This is why we need to have some dialogue before you can claim any of these ideas as good. Some of them really are good ideas, but a couple of them have problems.
One in particular being the 50-meter redline. As Xocoyol Zaraoul pointed out just now, we use to have a tiny redline back then in closed beta. But it wasn't as small as 50 meters. It was about 100 meters at the most and even then it was a complete slaughter to anyone spawning in when their team has been pushed into the redline and all objectives were taken by the reds. Anyone spawning in were killed immediately by snipers and forge gunners and that's not including the LAVs that drove around creating street pizzas out of the poor players. Don't forget the nova knifers who could sprint 10 meters per second at the time. I would know as I was there when the redline was that small. I was even among those few knifers that were able to sprint in, kill a couple of mercs, and then run out before the timer is up.
Again, everyone unanimously agreed (from both sides of the slaughter) that the redline needed to expand. You don't want to go back to those days. Believe me. It was horrible. It almost made Nam look like a carnival experience.
