So I noticed that I make more money from killing a few infantry in my tank than I do from blowing up HAVs. It seems like ISK payouts are based around meta level, and not around how much the items cost.
> Match with enemy Sagaris and Surya (enemy)
> I used a Sagaris
> I killed them and did 95 to 100% of the damage
> I always had the killing blow
> I also killed the people inside
> I made 415k ISK
The cost of a well fitted Sagaris or Surya is minimum 2mil ISK (They were well fitted, had proto turrets and the correct HP)
So that's minimum 4mil ISK I have destroyed. That does not even include the pilots inside and the other guys that I whacked too. Most of the other guys were in MLT. I believe both HAV operators put on MLT AV suits and tried to kill me that way, instead of bringing out new HAVs.
now the second:
> Match with zero enemy vehicles that cost money (there was probably a free LAV or two)
> I was in a gunnlogi
> I killed 15
> Not all are proto, only about 12 were in full proto gear.
> Other 3 wee noob full MLT guys
> I made 580 to 600k ISK
Average full proto infantry is about 200k isk. So that is 2.4mil. The most it could be is 300k, and even then it is 3.6mil ISK. The tanks cost more (I believe the Sagaris was a 2.2mil ISK tank, he had decent small turrets on and an active heat sink with proto rail).
So what gives? 0_0
Does using gear that is worse than your opponents give more ISK?
The most ISK I have made this build was over 700k. I killed FOUR full proto tanks and two STD ones, and railed the **** out of about 20 full proto infantry. Every other match where I have made anything close to 700k ISK (and once above) did not have any proto HAVs.
If the system rewards players with lower meta lvl gear more ISK for killing ones in better gear, that is cool and I like that system.
If the system just looks at the meta lvl of what you have killed, infantry have a high or higher meta lvl than HAVs. Killing infantry with 200k suits pays more than killing a HAV worth over 2mil ISK.
I [request] that the ISK payout for kills and the like be modified to the total value of what was destroyed. So let us say that a forge gunner kills a 2.2 mil ISK tank, he should earn some nice cash. If I kill a 2mil ISK tank, I earn lots of cash. If I just sit behind the red line and lolrailgun snipe infantry in gear that costs less but has a higher meta lvl, I should earn less.
Another option could be just multiplying the meta lvl of all vehicles by two or three. Even though it skips some meta levels, you get the full payout for the work it took to destroy it.
I have no idea if the % of damage done changes your ISK payout. I think I head that it was in the works, so that's cool.
Thanks ^.^
btw, I do not remember exact numbers. I do however rage when I kill two or more proto HAVs, dream of all the ISK I should be making, then find out that I earned 60 to 80% of what I earned in the last match where I killed 25 to 30 full MLT to ADV players.
I can keep track. I realize that other things are factored into ISK payout, but I have never earned over 600k ISK from one match without killing anyone. It has to be a fair amount of players in PRO gear. From what I can see, if you want to make ISK in a match, the more you kill, the more you earn. |

The cost/meta lvl of gear that the killer used does not seem to be as big of a factor. One individual in my corp earned over 900k ISK killing many, many, many full PROTO players, and he ran almost 100% STD and ADV. (Mods like shield extenders were best of course :P)
He totally earned and deserved that cash, but I have never seen anyone else come anywhere near that number in this build.
That's why I put in the "if your gear is lower and the other player has higher meta lvl, do you earn more isk?" part. |

I don't expect a full explanation, but it would be nice to know if you get more $ by putting better gear on the field, or more $ if you kill better geared players.

ok... I blow up installations and RDVs with the defender mark on. Usually if I'm not top of WP, it's because I was doing something terribly wrong.
And I was in some guy's Surya and saw him take out a RDV with his blaster before it could even finish flying in.
edit: Manus Peak? There's not too much to blow up there, and it's more open so rail works better on it.
The other maps are installations and CQC galore. |
