And I trust reddots more than I do bluedots. You know why? Cause reddots won't do stupid **** and just sit around doing nothing, oh and they'll actually do something about the enemy. |

Right now ANYONE can grab a militia uplink and throw it into the woods and let it accumulate WP. Yet if a pilot puts 2+ million dollar ship at risk for hovering over an objective we get nothing.
We should get a HP buff too along with HAV's and LAV's.
Drop uplinks are usually tactical locations, a Dropship in the middle of the sky with a forge gun aiming at isn't. I can get them to a good one though. especially if they're on voice comm. And I think you should get points for every person you (safely) get to a location, just not every random who spawns in there and never leaves. I'd also like some points for giving people a ride in my LAV. It shouldn't be too hard to program a reward system based on how much distance our passengers traveled.
So spawning on an MCRU is farmable, but doing some kind of distance reward scheme isn't? Christ, we have no hope.

Last time this popped up, I pointed out that in a dropship you could earn over 60,000 WP in a match if you did a 1m=1wp. Actually give me a minute, I have a new flight record I can factor in.
EDIT: from MCC to MCC on manus peak, is what 600-700 metres? I'll go with 600 to be conservative. And let's say whatever distance system implemented has 1m=1WP
It is possible to fly a python from MCC to MCC in 12 seconds, in those 12 seconds you make 600 war points. Add in 3 seconds to kill momentum, we're at 15 seconds. Lets assume you've got afterburner on both ways for simplicity's sake, another 15 seconds to get to the other MCC and turn round. At 30 seconds you have 1200 war points. Using that as a base number
In a minute you'll have 2400 WP
In 10 minutes you'll have 24000 WP
Now I'd say that on average a decent skirmish will last around 40 minutes, under a system like that you'll make 72000 WP, and that's assuming that it only applies to one person, and doesn't generate a separate amount per person.
Yes not farmable at all. |

I also never said what kind of distances would earn you what kind of points.
No it doesn't, spawning on an MCRU is no more farmable than drop uplinks are, if you want to farm WP you have to sacrifice ISK. Your method is risk free, ISK free, and WP heavy. Your blocking a needed fix on a stupid argument, it makes no sense. |

Do you even know what the **** you are talking about? Obviously I do, I did say it. Do you know how to read? REAL problems like GAME MECHANICS need to be fixed before we can talk about rewarding some scrub who wants to fly around in the sky cause he's too scared to fight.
Oh what a wonderful attitude, and the game mechanics aren't as bad as your making them out to be and you know it. |

The reason you're having to wait is that they don't want your time to include everyone skilling into a standard dropship because they've found a new way to harvest easy WP without having to get their hands dirty. Not that I would ever suggest the Dust community might take advantage of such an exploit!!
Of course, they're such an honourable and self respecting community that they would never do that. |
