Should get more wp for downing a proto suit with a lesser suit. Should get less wp for downing a militia suit with a proto suit.
This would soon get the better players using noobier gear... Or just whining on the forums! |

I gotta ask... Are these full matches that people are failing to get over 150 wp?
Even vs protato squads you should be getting more than that. Think about it, your team is dying (probably a lot) just put some useful spawn points down, or sneak about and hack stuff. |

Were you just chasing it in a dropsuit and not getting shot? Because if you pulled a forge/swarm or even some AV grenades, you'd have easily gotten 2 lots of 75 wp.
Tanks are quite literally wp pinatas. |

No, I only have stupid ones... But it might work.
How about dropping plenty of CRU's at the start of Ambush matches, since anyone can hack them and they aren't easily destroyed, there's a good chance of someone on both teams running off at the start of the match and hacking them.
&/OR
When a team is down by 10 clones, drop in some pre-hacked CRU's for them. One of them is bound to be of some use. Although it still relies on the team being mildly competent and knowing when to switch spawns, the enemy team will struggle to camp multiple spawns. |

Tanks are quite literally wp pinatas. Plasma Cannon Scout. First shot or nade, he hardens and runs, repeat. No points.
Throw flux > fire cannon > both hit at the same time, gets at least 75 points. Also watch the turret, he can't see a scout that's behind the turret.

What freaggin incentive do I have to even stay in the match if by 25 clones I haven't hit the minimum -already-? Why should I stay at all, if looking at the team-setups I see a whole squad of 'x' corporation that I know will be running high-end gear?
Because you're not the only one on the team. It's because everyone 'stops trying' that a stomp occurs, some check the player list at the start of battle and you see them do nothing. If you aren't going to try, why stay in the match, just leave it'll be better for the rest of the team. The people you don't care about putting at a disadvantage because you've taken up a player slot on the team without doing anything and yet you expect to get a reward, for doing nothing useful...
Even in primary school they tell you 'it's the taking part that counts.' Sure back there it means you get a gold star just for being, but the meaning you're meant to take from it, is that you should actually take part and try to help!
Why should I care if someone gets no points, for giving up and not trying, just because it's too difficult? If someone else was in that slot, sure we would likely still lose, but at least we'd be able to put up a fight. When you don't try, anything everyone else does becomes worthlessly outnumbered. |

Another stupid idea... Can your guys create a simple AI to control an mCRU fitted dropship/tank?
The dropship's could hover at the flight ceiling moving around the map, now anyone can drop out anywhere the dropship goes. Make sure the pilot seat is 'filled' so trolls can't spawn > switch to pilot > dump in the redzone.
You could extend this idea to allow small turrets on the dropships, so while people fight it out on the ground, up in the air people can sit on the turret and try to pop the enemy dropship (or enemies jumping out of it.) When the dropship is downed you're stuck with the 'stupid deploy' until a fresh dropship is 'spawned.'
As much of a hassle as this may be to create, you have mentioned wanting new players able to experience vehicle play. With these AI controlled vehicles they can literally spawn in and get on a turret to see what all the fuss is about, without ruining someones day.
Don't ask about the tank, it's an afterthought for the new player base, I imagine anything within AV range is going to get used as a wp pinata (which in a bad way would overcompensates for the problem.)

So you have to skill into scouts to play Ambush as a vet? What theGǪ?
You take Rattiti's advice too literally. Yes spec into a scout if you want to run faster than the enemy scouts (which shouldn't pose much of a threat on their own anyway.)
But You don't really have to outrun the enemy, just your team-mates... Or should we say cannon fodder. These 'brave' clones will take several for your team, getting 0 wp in a match and whining about it on a forum, just so they can distract the enemy team from the guys who knew it was best to perform a 'strategic retreat.'

Technically, you're not screwing them over, you're helping them avoid getting stomped on the spawn, by giving them somewhere safe to spawn after they stand still and get shot the first time.

If you're finding an objective in Ambush, then there really is a problem with Ambush!
