I dont understand the differences and correlation between warpoints, ingame points, kills, and your contribution accumulated at the end of a match.
Rewards seem pretty inconsistent...
...in some matches i'll do diddly squat-complete no objetives (hacks etc) have like 5 kills or so and get like 20-30k sp rewards
...in other matches i'll hack a few objectives and installations-destroy a vehicle-kill far more then 5 people and end up getting less then 20k sp.
...other matches i'll get less then 10k sp for performance not far inbetween those 2 mentioned averages.
with all the objectives in skirmishes i'm surprised i dont regularly score more points then similar ambush matches that reward me more in sp and isk often.
Isk seems almost as inconsistent. It used to appear that winning granted a decent isk bonus-but there've been alot of matches that i've lost that scored me larger payoffs (60k+ isk) then when i've won (under 50k isk).
It's aggrevating and confusing...I hope eventually we'll be able to see a more detailed explanation of what earned me isk and contribution points. |

I think everone on your team gets an even cut of the reward which may be random at this point.
SP depends on how much you do. Killing, hacking, assists, repairs, etc will get you more SP. The amount you get falls off the more you play in a day. I figure after an hour or so of gameplay you are making the minimum you can for the day. This falloff is to reduce grind.
Warpoints are going to be used to call in vehicles and structures later on in the game from what I hear. |

does the diminishing rewards reset before the server does? because i didnt get may 40k sp games until the last few hours...and they werent my most contributing matches by a long shot.
(edit) and I guess i wasn't clear-the matches I used as examples above were back to back swings of 40k sp to under 10k sp sometimes (or 10k to 40k)...and my contributions often felt larger in the matches i'd score less on. This is reflected in my often lame sp rewards form skirmishes where I maintain similar kill rates/numbers alongside all the objectives and get less then the next ambush match i do with equal or less kills/contribution |

I hear that the falloff resets when the server does. (Noon GMT I think). Last build I felt like it reset twice a day.
Currently though theres little known about how the SP gain is calculated. |

If I recall, the diminishing returns falloff were reset at midnight GMT in the previous build. |

regardless of the deminishing rewards-my issue is with the match to match large swings of inconsistent rewards with more or less consistent contribution in games.
if my problem was a slow decline of rewards I wouldnt be chatting up this subject. |

I agree, and I have observed the same random behaviour, I've had battles where we lost giving me better SP, Isk and loot that ones where we won. The same with rounds where I though I were doing well, getting less than some where I were positively crap. |

I don't know at first it was that way... But now I average 75,000 ISK per match and 60,000 SP... But that's just because I blow up every bloody Bolas I see flying in vehicles, and that racks up ISK and SP fast it seems... I think large vehicles, installations, capture hacks, and Bolas are the key to lots of points... |

Surely that increases grind? Do you mean it "reduces grinding"?
