Ok 1 more time and real simple
There is no good reason for anyone to play as a drop pilot or logi. (From what i can see)
as sp is given according to kills, or am i wrong ?????????????? (as it ends up there is other ways thats why i asked)
I dont play as them as its to hard to get sp.(in my short experence with it)
i tried but got nowhere
anyone else have this problem and what did you do????????.
So you want to know how to get SP without killing? First, as far as I can tell, SP are not given according to kills. They directly relate to the number of war points you get per match (seems like 100 war points equal about 1000 SP for the first match of a day). Every kill is +50 war points, but that's not the only way to get points, here's what you can do as a logi:
- resupply with nano hives: +10 for each resupply
- heal with the repair tool: +15 for each heal (one heal is a fixed number of HP, repping up a heavy can get you up to 4 heals I think)
- drop uplinks: +15 for every spawn on them
- repair vehicles/installations: +25 for each repair (same principle as for healing applies; also, try this: as an attacker, grab the repair tool with increased effectiveness on installations, and start repping your missile tower at the start of a game while the enemy keeps spamming missiles at it. You can rack up several 100 points by doing this the first minutes of a match)
- revive your team mates (don't know the amount of points, never managed to revive someone)
- kill assists (obviously): +25 each
- hacking/hack assists (also obvious): everything between +12 and +100
- driver assists: +25 for every kill someone scores who is in the same vehicle as you (doesn't matter if you're driver, gunner or just a passenger)
And yes, currently playing logi without actively killing people will not net you that many SP, simply because people are not aware of support players and their abilites. Everyone suicides immediately, 9 out of 10 heavies are running away from you, trying to escape your repair tool so they can die do a tower camper spamming missiles at an objective while they try to hack it with 5% armor left, and the list goes on.
As for the drop ship pilots, I guess it sucks to be one unless you're squishing people nonstop or you have a pair of dedicated gunners doing their job well. But nobody should expect to rack up points quickly just by shuttling people back and forth the whole match, that's something you can do as a side job, in addition to your full time job as a killing machine. Well, at least as long as pilot suits are not in the game yet...
