I am wondering how the isk payout is calculated for logistics, I had a match where I went 1200+ wp more than a fellow corp mate who whent 1200+ wp also, I had 5 kills and 3000+ healing, and my corp mate made over 400k ISK with less wp and I only made 200k isk, is there an issue with payouts for logistics or are logistics roles just supposed to make less ISK even tho they have decent WP's? |

Haven't noticed a big difference yet, isk based on what you destroy is a big disadvantage for a support-role and should be investigated if true. |

As far as we know, your share of the team payout is determined by your warpoints, and I really hope they haven't gone and changed this. Of course no mention in patch notes or anywhere else, but we all know CCP has a bad habit of not announcing changes...
So I'm supposed to fill a completely support role (all these threads about how logis' potential damage output should be heavily nerfed, because we don't need to kill stuff), use really expensive equipment (because most basic and advanced equipment are rather gimped now, so you kind of have to use proto to be useful) but not get proper isk rewards? Really really hope it isn't so... I'll definitely keep an eye on this when I play later today.
There has been some threads floating about mentioning warpoints not being calculated correctly at the end of some matches, there might be a related/similar issue where the isk rewards are also calculated incorrectly in some cases? |

The amount of destruction has always mattered.
Start popping Tanks, AUR in particular. Then top the board doing the same. The payout jumps dramatically.
Logi Bro pays WP, not ISK.
Plus, nothing regarding payout has ever been shared nor documented in my investigations. So changing it around is a simple script run during shutdown and none of us get squat for information. Balancing the almighty game play in secret.
Bang, different today! Wonder if they will notice?  |

Yes, to the overall payout of the team. The more expensive stuff gets destroyed, the more the team gets in isk. But each player's share of the payout depends on their amount of WP. The person with the most WP gets the most isk. At least this is the way it worked in Chromosome, and as far as I know it should still be the same.
And thus, as a logi, you can certainly earn good amounts of isk, you just need to earn enough WP to be towards the top of the board. And there definitely are a lot of opportunities to earn WP as a logi, if you know what you're doing (having a good squad helps most times  )... |

Yeah I noticed this I get more ISK running my basic suit as a assault than I do for support even if I do about the same WP wise. |

I was #2 on the leaderboard in the match I was talking about #1 in my squad by about 20 wp in this case the assault person who made 1236 wp to my 1255 wp he got over 400k isk where I barely topped 200k isk, so if the over payout is team based I should have gotten more isk in that situation, a few matches later I did score #1 on the leaderboard and made aprox 360k isk but still lost money in that match.
to be any good at your role you have to use min adv suits and adv equipment and even as a adv logi I am still squishy with 2 enhanced shield extenders and 3 enhanced armor reps and I still tend to lose money on 200-350k isk payouts, I truly believe that the isk payouts should be more for logibros when we work hard at our roles, yes there are some opportunities for abuse of the wp system with repping vehicles and turrets and so I somewhat understand why we dont get points for that but I really think that should change, ie if the tank or turrets have been damaged by a team member then no wp should be earned but if the tanks, turrets, and lav's were damaged by the enemy you should earn wp for repping them.
I honestly believe CCP needs to look more into helping the logibro earn isk and fix so many problems with that role. |
