I'm wanting to see teamwork still be rewarded more, and what I notice is that driving a vehicle specifically for support does not pay off at all. Things such as flying a dropship around to deliver mercs to a hot spot on the field quickly, or driving an LAV to hot spots for the same reason. These are things that can win a skirmish for you very quick, but the War Points do nothing to show for it. I was hoping this thread could be used constructively by giving ideas to CCP for how a driver of a vehicle could receive WPs even though he is not in active combat, but is contributing to the out come of a game.
Some of my Ideas:
War points awarded to drivers of vehicles in the vicinity of a point that has recently been hacked.
Rewards for mercs jumping out of a dropship when near an enemy's location.
Rewards given when people that were recently inside a vehicle gain any war points outside of a vehicle shortly after departing. But only when the driver is still in the Vehicle.
I love to support my team, mainly because I am terrible at killing. Logistics gets me a lot of war points, but this is another area that I wish could get some attention.
Please input, and I ask any dev to enlighten us on any action that is being taken. We are mercs, we kill people, but more importantly, we are paid to get the job done. Any one that helps facilitate that should be rewarded. The killers, and the doers. |

I agree logi tank drivers need to be rewarded for their efforts, currently only being a armor logi tanker earns WP, Shields get no love |

I know a lot of the features the OP mentioned have been talked about as something the Devs want to do. No idea why they have no yet, but I suspect you'll get it soon. |

I've been thinking all the same things listed in the OP, more points for transport and credit given for what the mercs you transport do.
And wait, how are people repairing shields? |

Vehicle Logi actions should earn WP. If there's a reason they don't, I'd be curious to know what it is.
(Infantry Logis don't get any points for repairing vehicle armor, either. Wouldn't mind seeing that added in, too. It was removed to prevent WP farming, right? Ah, crap.)
Certainly driving a mobile CRU around should earn the owner the same WP as a drop uplink. CCP might do well to make it like the drop uplink in terms of only allowing squadmates to use it, though. Tired of blueberries preventing me from using my buddy's tank as a forward spawn. |

Yup. You won't see any effective team piloting in anything but the more organized corp battles until there's an incentive to risk all that ISK. I'm sure this is an area they are planning a lot of work on, looking at the pilot dropsuits as a hint. I'd like to see WP for dropping off squaddies (maybe with a distance modifier?). Requiring a minimum distance and capping at a certain number per minute (or whatever) can help combat farming. Or perhaps as someone else suggested, when in the vicinity of reds or points. Maybe get a percentage of WP passengers get for a certain time afterward drop-off. Healing in any way, shape, or form should get WP (again, with restrictions).
Again, this is all coming down the pipeline, but I can't wait. Getting the vehicles to a point they are meaningful on the battlefield could be one of the biggest game-changers, along with installations. A lot of possibilities there, even for PUG's. |
