I'm fairly sure you only get one resupply per person, but then again it might just be that Ticks are long enough that they should be full by the time it cycles.

Repairing something gives you 25 points with RR and I see no reason the hand tool would be different in that field.

Not worth it, honestly - considering you can only obtain them via Aurum and you lose it every time you die. Brought this thread up as a spin off from my thread - KDR (edited for less tears) - because honestly this game is centralized (for the moment) around making kills and nothing but that.

Often times to make a successful revive you have to do a few things:
1.) Be there at the time of death.
2.) Pray to god they don't instantly hit circle to suicide.
3.) Kill the person that killed them, so you yourself don't get killed.
4.) Go through the five second animation timer to revive them.

At which point they come in with limited armor, and if you don't have a repair tool (see above) or an armor-repping nano-hive, you're pretty much jypping them out of a fresh start.

Nanohives also don't bring back equipment or grenades, so most people just avoid them entirely and shoot straight for the supply depot as you can switch out fittings and come in with full -everything-.

EDIT: The best way to get SP is to have a squad move a s a group and have the squad leader use the team commands wheel to mark targets to kill capture and defend. You get +50% to whatever your doing to get points if do it in relation to an order marker and aren't in a vehicle. You still might get the bonus in a vehicle, I'm not sure.

Have you been able to take into account what those points look like when the squad commands have been issued, too? Kill Assists are 37, I know that for certain. Also: Killing that drone that drops our vehicles off: 37.

Danfen Stark Algintal Core Gallente Federation 93	Posted - 2012.07.16 16:10:00 - [9] - Quote My preferred method is just via....playing the game Run round & shoot people (kill & assists). Drop nano hives as i go (resupplies), tank drives past? Get in as gunner if possible & start killing people until a point is clear. Objective clear? Hop out & hack (100 points), run around & capture any turrets/clone bays in the area (varies)... Simply just...playing...seems to work well for me Edit: Or I should say, playing and being versatile in what you do.

Plus it encourages player to get good at reviving. They've specifically stated that in an upcoming build we're getting downed target indicators for everyone with Nano Injectors, and markers on the HUD while downed to show when a medic is nearby, AND being forced to wait 8 seconds before suiciding. Sounds like a buff to me. Sephoran Griffith wrote: Kill assists are not 37. I have never seen anything reward 37 points. That would be the 25 point Assist +50% for following squad leader's orders.

Post your strategies below, suggest feedback. drop ship kill being used 60 drop ship kill when not in used 15 used is that,s some one is in side it at the time the drop ships hp hits 0 and dies that some one can bail out tho be for it blows up and the players who killed the ship will still get the 60 points ( but only if some one was in it at the time it hit 0 hp) not used is that no one was in the drop ship at the time the hp hit 0 like this bad furry sees a drop ship on the ground and player 2 is in it ! Bad locks on and fires a volley of SL missiles at it ! player 2 jumps out be for the SL volley hits the drop ship! the SL volley hits the unman drop ship and kills it! Bad gets 15 points for killing drop ship vs the 60 points that is if only player 2 was in the drop ship at the time the drop ship was killed (player 2 do,s not have to be killed) this rule is apply s to all LAV,s and the HAV,s tho points may differ Lav,s are 20 and 40 HAV,s are 25 and 50 Hav T2,s are 50 and 100* *i may be off on if but i think there's a diff when killing t1 and T2 HAV,s
BAD FURRY Hellstorm Inc League of Infamy 247	Posted - 2012.07.16 16:36:00 - [13] - Quote remember that if a Fire team leader tells your fire team to kill something 25 or so points will be added to the kill

RR =/= Hand Tool RR = Remote Repair and logically a hand tool should fall under that umbrella, but you can use LAV or tanks fit to provide RR to other vehicles using parts that cost ISK. I'm not sure how much you need to RR before you get the points though I have gotten them before.
