After reading this one question arose in my head: how should leaving a match be punished.
Gameplay wise, leaving a match is a way to abuse matchmaking system by trying to be in a match where you can farm more SP/ISK.
Lore wise, you sign a contract with NPC corporation when join a match and the contract should have some clause that says how you should be punished if you decline to do what you signed to do. Also NCP corporation should think twice when hiring you again.
At this moment the only punishment is that a player won't receive as much SP/ISK as they could if he stay in a match until the end. At first, this isn't really a punishment. Also, a player who will take the place of the player who left a match, will be punished as well. |

Yes, the punishment for leaving a match alone isn't the answer. We also need a reason to fight back if we are redlined.
For me it's fun to play again stronger enemies. Trying to kill a tank or take a point even if you lose anyway is fun for me. However, I lose so much ISK and receive so little that I become a sad panda when match is over. |

As one possible idea, I think you shouldn't be able to join another match while the match you left from is still ongoing (sign another contract with NCP corporation while the current one is still in effect). How do you think? |

The idea is compelling, but not the choice of gear!
Make it a scout, put focus on shield, equip him with a shotty. Step for is the only one I agree with! That basically is my main build, it is a little more expensive. But you can still die a lot without becoming broke.
It was just an example, I have a scout fit on a alt with the 'dragon fly' BPO, a basic sniper and BPO modules. Theres lots of different variants, the example I gave will give you good odds at all ranges where as if your running a scout with minimal skills you would be ALOT better off in a assault dropsuit (more hp) than a scout due to being extra squishy and at no real advantage. If you have 2mil SP, invested in sheilds mechanics ect then a scout suit will do fine for a cheap alternative, but for anyone new to DUST (i assume you are as i haven't seen you around much) the fit I mentioned is a good cheap alternative.
As far as I understand, this thread is about players who leave battle as soon as they start to lose and try to find match where they can farm SP/ISK easily.
I personally use free Logi suite with AR, nanohive and nanite injector. I also have some more expensive experemental fitting and AV, DropUplink fitting.
However, I'd better use some more expensive fittings and try to win a battle, but I understand that if I do so I'll only end up loosing bunch of ISKs. |
