Im just checking to see if choice two is REALLLY what the majority of voters want. Because ive talked to some people who were a bit confused, an just chose the one with the most.

Just give us our WP to SP for kills whatever which way this lame ass weak sauce attempt to gimp in the mindful nannering attempt to equalize the suck with the 1337 dog and pony show goes. At least elevate my 16Kill game over 75 SPs. pfft.

without the ability to make big gains in a few days, new players will never ever catch up to seasoned ones in terms of SP.

doesn't matter much when maxed out guns only kill 1-2 bullets faster though.

well played, ccp.

those numbers assume all players involve maxed out on skill.

The variance between a newbie with an AR and a proto Duvolle with maxed proficiency and a rack of +damage mods in the highs is like night and day.

weapon table says vs 400 health, a max sp + 2 damage mod proto ar vs a no SP no damage mod basic AR will only be a 5 bullet difference.
noticeable, but not anything insane.

With option 5 new players would have the option to grind for a week and not be as far behind as option 2. I voted for 5 because it helps those who need/want the weekly cap and doesn't punish players for doing well. CCP should of just done a trial with option 5 and then do a vote.

Please never stop posting. I think I love you.

possibly. trick is, once you max out a dropsuit and all of the support skills relevant to said suit and weapon of choice, old players have little to no measurable advantage over you.

Edit: I don't really care if CCP picks 2 or 5, so long as it's one of those. I'm just playing devil's advocate. Plus option 2 I think works as a max to normal SP gains. it's the option 5 that adds the "per WP" cap. Unless I read it wrong.

Which would mean option 2 provides more consistently stable gains for new players than 5

hey guys, just wanted to run an idea past u lot to do with SP capping.

ive noticed the daily sp cap and have hit it on occasion, however it seems slightly unfair to certain people, mainly refering to people with "lives" outside of gaming and with professional commitments.

instead of a daily SP cap, have a weekly SP cap ending/starting at downtime on fridays.

this way people with typical weekday work commitments and evening family commitments can boss it out over the weekend and not be restricted to what is essentially only approx 2/7ths the max SP u can gain per week.

so sp cap would be 7x what it is now, with a reset only once a week. rather than once a day.

That's exactly what this vote is for...

The weekly cap is winning just FYI

Most people seem to be thinking that the new players will be able to catch up if they decide to grind with the options that allow WP to Sp gain but this also would allow the veteran players to grind and get even farther. Even if a new player grinds by the logic of a veteran player being better for their gear the veteran will be gaining more WP per match because they will be doing better so not only will the new players not catch up they will actually begin to get left behind further.

Actually for the 28/32 of the player base (aprox) option 2 gives 'em more SP than option 5; if you read the description, the "increased soft cap" translates as 1000 SP per match, but the "no soft cap" translates as 1SP every WP now; i almost always get more than 1000 WP per match, but almost always only the 2-3 tops of each team does (at least in skirmish, since i don't play ambush i don't know) hence the 28/32 statistic I just made up.

So, option 5 is better for "good" players, option 2 is better for everyone else.
