Much appreciation to the many people who held their nuts and actually gave me constructive criticism rather than indulge themselves in hipocrisy, letting me know what a huge noob I am and how they're always nonchalant about everything. Thanks.
I'll be taking my sweet time to level up what I can, but seriously, 2k-ish SP is what I usually get in an Ambush match. Not sure about the Domination-type mode, becaus we always lose, but that's my average SP-gain. anything higher is just me on a lucky roll.
Also, is there a way to not use the default spawn point that places me infront of an enemy's crosshairs, killing me before I have a chance to turn around?
PS: Btw, will the game cost anything when it officialy releases?
Hey sorry about the rants (although I'm sure there was valid reasons both ways)
The controls are admittedly unique and the gameplay can get cumbersome, but it was far worse over the summer and during the early beta. Fact is, you're talking to the remanent of those who survived and looked past all that for the far superior game we have today...so please understand what you're commenting and take the feedback with a few pinches of salt, eh? ;)
As for your edited questions: The sp-system was just recently altered from a daily-cap and previously a weekly cap, which allowed you to gain much larger ammounts of sp based on KDR scores per game. At the moment it is rather flat which benefits those who can play a large quantity of matches and disadvantages those who can only play a few. We are currently discussing ideas on how to best implement this critical feature and if you have some suggestions, please feel free to offer them.
The default spawn is only in skirmish mode as it is essentially a quick team-deathmatch, however you can use drop uplinks to provide direct spawn points on the map either through your equipment or through NPC static ones on the maps. However for the first drop, I just recommend grabbing your balls for a wild drop or simply tanking out with a minigun and running over anyone who was unlucky. 
And no the game will be free and has had patches every 6-8 weeks. All free. Once they eventually move to expansions, you can see that Eve Online gets 2 free, Major Expansions every year...likewise for Dust 514. They still need to find good ways to make revenues though, so if you have ideas, post em.
I suppose for next time just try and articulate your points with a little more balance and be sure to ask questions with the expecation that they have been asked hundereds of thousands of times. Both because they most likely have and because you'll get far better feedback. And keep posting thoughts or ideas, I personally love to hear what the new bunnies think of our game after a year of grinding through all the changes. Hope to see you more on the forums.
Tread safe and Aim true,
