sure no problem.

The reason why assault suits have a higher maximum compensation amount is because assaults and heavies are most likely going to be right in the fray, while scouts and logistics, due to the nature of how the roles play, not so much, and commanders, well you get the idea. Obviously these numbers can change with new builds, but i dont see them changing very much fro where they are.

basically think of AE as your KD with a particular suit. At each tier of AE, you qualify for differing amounts of compensation PER ROUND and will have all your fitting losses covered each round until you reach your highest earned maximum compensation amount or you have been fully compensated for your losses.

Basically, say you die 5 times as an assault suit in an official STB match. As long as you qualify for that much compensation according to your AE on the chart, you will get all 5 of those fits reimbursed.

Say you are a marauder pilot like i am.

you play 10 official contracted matches with STB.
out of those ten matches, you lose a total of 4 marauders.

4/10=0.4

with that AE score you will see that you qualify for 100% reimbursement of marauder losses in EACH round you play in, up to a maximum of two marauders.

Say in a later round you lost 3 marauders in one round. You would only be reimbursed the 2 marauders at the end of the round, as that is the maximum compensation. That is as long as those losses dont somehow put you into a lower bracket where you would not qualify for the maximum anymore. Then you would only receive 1, or in worse cases 0.

So what is the incintive if we win just simple reimbursement of what we spent. And if a player got worked over in a few matches he would be in debt.

I'm sure I'm missing something.

you misunderstand the numbers. it is on a per round basis at the moment(not official yet, this is a framework)
think of it as your KD with a fitting determines how much you can receive each round, which will be all you losses unless you have exceeded the maximum. If you qualify, you can receive the maximum each round.

Pfft!! another pyramid scheme FOR SURE!


Where are you getting these "big contracts" from????? TELL ME!

this policy has nothing to do with how the corp pays its members. This is completely separate bud. As far as ive been told this is only a way to ease the burden of the members between official fights. If you wanna know how payments are gonna be, feel free to ask quickgloves on the STB thread.

does that change things? it sounds like you thought this was how we were gonna be paying our members, which i have no say in.

Ahem...

well, some of your comments should answer themselves.....the incentive is winning. That is your payday. We win, we get big contracts. Insurance allows you to fight without worrying about your costs as long as you perform adequately. The numbers also protect STB from having to dish out money to underperforming or undedicated members.
