Its a flood of blood.







HAHAH EPIC FAIL LET HIM B HE'S A RECENT RECRUIT LOL
A flow of blood? What are you on your period?

damn.......my mistake then



it was buried in the stb thread n hard to find, should i edit out the link and just send em to our thread?

LOL I STILL LOVE YOU LURCH UR MY BARNEY LOL

I'm not sure what to make of your policy.

Looks like you favor assault suit players, and will only replace 1 proto suit per twelve matches but only if its a win?

I'm sure I'm reading it wrong maybe you could summarize a 12 game scenario based on this to help clear it up.

Its a flood of blood.

A flow of blood? What are you on your period?

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.

Things that could stop a flood of blood:
Wall of band-aids
Flood of sponges
Hoover dam
Massive swarm of mosquitos
Swarm of vampires

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.

trust me.....when there is a flood of blood.....its not the blood your worrying about. (@ crimson)

I have great confidence an FPS 'clan' knows enough about making ISK to be able to offer a reimbursement scheme.

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.

Its the STDs I am worried about bro. You don't know where that bloods been.

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.

There are failsafes both ways as you will see. Members receive full compensation should the acting leader command a unit to sacrifice himself., as well as more failsafes present in the numbers. Which might be a bit more complex.

While it sounds like a good idea, its a bit risky. It could turn off random casuals that you may have been diamonds in rough. especially if they pay in and then lose a few games.

This is something you should implement with high ranking officers first to see how well it works. Test it first that way if there is internal conflict, you either tweak the contract or throw out the idea. Its almost impossible to regulate how much each member is spending on each of their drop suits fittings or what fitting they even used in battle. You don't want that internal conflict/conflict of interest, bleeding over to all your members. insurance can be a shisty business. Be careful with how you implement this and good luck.

I'm just not sure it makes sense. It at game 9 you have exceeded your proto suit or tank allotment for you 12 matches with a winning record why would you still play in good gear or tanks that were not going to be reimbursed win or loose. Setting up a 3 game possible loss.

I would hope that your good mercs get a share of the profit, because this is designed to make them go broke quickly if they under perform in a few matches

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.

Thank you it is becoming clearer, however I would be concerned that limits would be placed on individual mercs to not spawn that 3rd tank or proto suit, which in that one battle may have made the difference. Especially if 3 or 4 mercs had that concern too,

The policy may be the reason you end up loosing that match because your team was too cautious in spawning the proto gear.
I understand its a work in progress, but this may need to be re examined.
Yes we would all like to say I will only need 1 proto suit to make it through the whole game. But I would rather play next to the guy who wears proto suit next to me and we hold an objective the whole match as too bad ass heavys with a spawn up link and we both go 18 an 18 but never lost our objective.

Say you are a marauder pilot like i am.

Pfft!! another pyramid scheme FOR SURE!


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

My only concern is that even if you did great the most you will get paid is break even. A contract written with only the corp in mind not the soldiers.

Its a flood of blood.

A flow of blood? What are you on your period?

ohhhhh $@#&!!

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.

If this is not how you pay your metcs what is the point in having insurance?

I'm glad to hear this it make a bit more sense than the insurance policy, according to lurch a player is only there to help you win but can only break even at a perfect scenerio. And receive no loot above and beyond for winning.

I'm glad to hear this makes more sense than the insurance policy.

lol its cool lurch your post is clear on its point it refers to our insurance policy

The question posed was how will this benfit average players playing daily earning for STB.

So a quick describtion of STB player payroll was inorder to show how STB merc will be able to earn for themselves while benefiting the Corp itself while not taking advantage of its members

well ****, after everything thats been said, i think this is some pretty exciting **** for people interested in STB.

lol you butchered my typing in my quote. I think you need another beer dude, your getting shaky.

sure no problem.

I can't say I agree with this, I am an extremely mobile scout with two main suits, one with a sniper rifle, smg and nanohive (Marksman) that I use to post up and out-snipe other snipers across the map. My other suit is outfitted with a shotgun, smg, remote explosives and AV grenades (Infiltrator/AV) that I use to infiltrate the enemies front-lines, hack objectives and open up passages for my team.

I have lost track of the amount of times I am the MVP for my team, through BOTH kills and objectives, however because of the nature of my suit I do still get cut down occasionally and I would like to be reimbursed for the same fraction of my dropsuits so I can put my money toward making them stronger and more unlikely to be taken out in two seconds down in the fray.

It would be just as worth it to you to provide scouts the same way because they will be covering your behinds when the game comes to open beta, if you look at what the devs have planned then you will see that without makrsman like me you will be essentially blind to your enemies. There will be no enemy notifications unless we see them and report them (that's the plan anyway, what with CCP wanting hyper-realism), and the less money I spend on equipment the more I can spend on muzzle-flash detection/bullet-tracking/active-scanners/whatever, later on.

Just sayin'
