definitely something people are wanting fixed. CCP has said they intend to address it in the updates thread here: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=34746&find=unread

Anyway, yep.

Warscore gives orbital strikes. Orbital strikes give kills. Doing it from the safe zone means kills with no risk, which means KD/R padding. The WARRIORS for instance do this and it contributes to their high KDR. To what degree, I don't know. Never seem to see them on the field the few times I've been against them so I want to say a lot.

Also, warscore contributes to your SP reward along with kills. So they are also SP farming, but mostly WP farming with the decreasing returns / skill point cap in place.

And people are wasting their valuable SP on equipment etc to play games where they are 4/5 players down due to skill boosters.
Khortez D Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 51	Posted - 2012.10.04 00:44:00 - [5] - Quote you're getting SP though. i know im not completly familiar with the system, but as long as you don't get points for orbital strike, and get points for skills and ISK as a reward, it should be fine

That should effectively stop the redline boosters and the warriors group forcing them to play to work towards OB strikes and there SP without breaking logi healers
Khortez D Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 51	Posted - 2012.10.04 02:09:00 - [16] - Quote only problem with doing it out of the red zone is, i can easily see someone just getting out of it slightly just enough, and then doing it

So u can sit at red line and get no points or play the game and get points. Also add that if u redline sit u get no isk or sp at the end of match even if u won that may be a bit harsh though but it would be effective.

Yeah because logis are always healing tanks. CCP is just going to code it to record friendly damage, it'll be fine.
