Thanks for such admirably patient posting. A reply to this thread is long overdue, but here goes.

First off, I think the concept behind having higher WP rewards from using more expensive gear (and thus putting more ISK at at risk) is great and in line with our philosophy. We have looked into ways of making the WP rewards for support roles scale with the level of equipment you are using, but unfortunately it has turned out not to doable without some further development effort on the WP rewards system itself. That said, it's something we definitely interested in doing. Having high level weaponry makes you better at earning WP, as your killing potential is improved. Having high level equipment make you better at earning WP would only make sense.

Some historical musings about repair rewards specifically:

In Chromosome, the repair rewards were changed from the old cyclical system. We replaced that with two new rewards:

Guardian - 35 WP - You're actively repairing a player who kills a target
Triage - 25 WP - You repair someone who has taken damage within the last 60 seconds

The primary reason for switching from the old cyclical rewards to the above was exploitation -- with the old system, we saw players coming up with all sorts of cunning schemes for racking up record amounts of WP in record times. The new rewards are more difficult to exploit, as obtaining them requires interaction between the teams (and by interaction, I mean shooting the other team in the faceplate). As you would have to coordinate with players on both teams to exploit this (something that shouldn't be easy in e.g. instant battles), they should be more robust against exploitation. With the new rewards we also added a (tweakable) cooldown to how often you could earn rewards to have a fall back in case someone found a clever new way to game the system.

The new rewards are compatible with scaling based on the quality of equipment used and it's just a question of investing us finding some development time to make the WP reward system support it.

In the meantime, we'd love to hear your feedback on how the repair rewards are performing to make adjustments if necessary. Do you feel that the reward levels reasonable? Do you feel that reward experience you get consistent (i.e. do you get rewards when you expect to get them)?

rewarding interruption of hacks, adding more rewards for dropship pilots, increasing the granularity of assist rewards (i.e. giving more or less WP based on how significant your assistance was)

All 3 of these things I have wanted for quite some time, this pleases me.

Please make injector and repair tools give rewards based on how much HP was healed.

Like I mention somewhere above, we have to do some development work on the WP system itself first to allow giving higher rewards for using better repair tools/nanite injectors, but.. we're headed there.

Also, rewards for scanning are naturally on the list of WP rewards we want to add :)

We have quite a few additional WP rewards in plans along with iteration work on the existing rewards, e.g. rewarding interruption of hacks, adding more rewards for dropship pilots, increasing the granularity of assist rewards (i.e. giving more or less WP based on how significant your assistance was), giving a bonus for doing things with your squad, and so on.

Overall, we feel that we don't quite have the full set of rewards in place yetbut we are working at getting to a better place. As I see it, a decent player should be able to play in, for example, a support role full time without having to do part-time gigs in other jobs to cover the costs.

If you have a good idea for a reward that works to strengthen some of the areas that need it, we'd love to hear it.

Currently HAV crews and logis get the best WP rewards, standard infantry could use some help.
Give a bonus for killing enemies near hacking allies; that way you get rewarded for covering hackers.
Give a bonus for killing enemies who have recently damaged a teammate; this rewards players for rescuing allies.
Give a bonus for killing AV-equipped enemies near tanks, this rewards players for covering tanks.
Give a bonus for killing enemies near logis, this rewards players for keeping me alive.
Give a DS pilot a cut of all WP gained by his passengers for a period after leaving the DS, this rewards pilots for taking squads to useful areas.
If Sentinels are defensive roles, they need paid for it. Give a bonus for all kills near cannons and installations, this rewards players for defending areas.

Using a better repair tool, nanite injector, or even a better nanohive should not be awarded any more sp than the standard ones give. The advantage to using better equipment is keeping your team alive and supplied. Especially useful in the previous build when you have squadmates running expensive fits and being a vital role in the winning or losing of the battle. That is what being a logi is all about, supporting the team. if you can't run face to face with an enemy and take them out, be a logi and follow a squadmate with a repair tool and be ready to throw down a nanohive if they get low on ammo. Just doing that should be enough motivation to do it, you get points for it anyways and never have to pull a trigger or hack an objective. Basically being a logi is earning you free points. You don't have to be productive, just have to help out the ones that are, which i guess in turn would be productive.

Concern: If something like this went live, newer players who are currently reduced to using Militia or entry-level gear are going to be behind the WP curve.. Something like this would make the gap between Veteran and New player even worse.

If you do this, maybe something like EVE and Mechwarrior Online does with new players might be in order. For example, a temporary 'SP Gain Acceleration' for a certain amount of time. From the initial 500k to maybe 1.5M or 2M, with the gain accelerated at first(200-300% gain), tapering off as you reach the end(eventually to the current gain amount). Sort of a 'New Player' reward.

This would grealy improve the beginner experience, allowing them to get in to decent gear without the absolutely horrid Week 1 - 6 grind that currently exists(And I'm refering to the old SP layout - Considering my 5 mil did not go far, I imagine it's worse now!!). And, after giving them a taste of boosted experience, they'd be more likely to purchase boosters in order to keep the fix going.

The player wins, CCP wins, everyone wins.

You may not like this answer. But Increasing the WP gain may be a bad idea for Orbital strike potential.

In a good squad, we can use anywhere between 3-4 orbitals a game.

If you're looking to increase this WP potential. You could be seeing who knows 7+?

I hope CCP really considers the imbalance they're going to place on potential "rewards".

From my point of view. I get plenty of WP. And from your guys suggestions. I could get orbitals by myself, especially if I am getting more WP for hack interruptions, assists, and assisted hacks.
