DUST Search - Academy Server.

It's probably a year overdue that CCP rip up the current Academy and replace it with an actual gamemode!

Reasons
- The battles are a disgrace to Dust combat, the first thing a new player will see is how NOT to play the game.
- Alts - NO WAY is there that many new players, an Academy search is typically under 1minute = ALTS
^ I understand it's nice to escape the proto stomp servers, but at the cost of NPE, no thanks.
- If newbies were brought into a low MU/meta lvl battles, they would see actual teams play the game.

Suggestions
- Add a low meta-lvl server, anything from 20-50 (don't pander to coward vets who want a EZ server to run APEX)
- Add a low MU score, but to be honest total SP limits could be a simpler way to ensure vets don't fight newbros
- Possible tweak, the Meta lock is determined by total SP, so a 5mil merc has upto 50, a 50mil vet has only 20
^ Forcing the more experienced mercs to use lesser gear, while a newbie could pimp his suits.
- If it was a meta-lock server, add diminishing returns for a Vet battling there..
^ Vet plays first match in MLT gear, does well enough earns 400k..
but on deploying his second match, exact same performance, he earns 300k
to the end ressult that if a vet deploys in the meta lock server 5 times, they are paid almost nothing

This server should be set so the game can actually grow - punishments for abusing it will be needed.

The biggest thing cutting Dust off from more players is the selfish community, blocking them from newbro modes may help.
Sure.. there will be alts, nothing can stop those that I can think of, bar making rewards in regular pubs more attractive.

Tha last thing we want in an Academy/Meta-lock mode, is to give the community what they want..
Why??? Because it is intended for newbies who are not yet part of the community.

The biggest thing new players need to learn is how the server lag affects gameplay. They'll do a lot better after getting used to that. The capping of objectives could be a simple voiceover during a regular match to teach new players what to do. Then after so many games it will stop. The CPM candidate we need, not the one we want. The candidate for the rest of us.

There was another post about something similar to this. I think it was about matchmaking and choosing battles. Either way that's partly of topic. One of my acquaintances (Not going to say who because he doesn't like it when people do things without his knowledge) he brought up the idea that there will be certain battles sorta with teirs I believe he said was that or Metalock. Anyway his idea went like this: 1. Battle found 2. Only a Certain Gear Tier can be used (Say only Milita because their newbs) 3.This wouldn't be a problem becausee they should have figured out their controls in Battle Academy.
