wtf happened to her

ditched the ceo position to keep her money

love this lol...its never "against dreis"

its always "against dreis+ friends"

No jab intended. He was with a squad of corpmates, and they played a damn good match.

XELY is one of the best :)

Hmmm ... I wouldn't mind "keep what you kill" as "keep what you kill". My GalLogi is killing just fine while keeping up scans, and I imagine AM and CA Logis can do the same. I can definitely see repper Logis being at a disadvantage, but aren't these the ones who are topping the WP leaderboards? They'd gain less salvage, but they'd still be pulling in the biggest EOM paychecks.

?

While I agree that Logistics should be capable of being lethal, one has be careful in trying to balance lots of kills + some WP vs some kills + lots of WP. Not saying your idea is not without merit, just a difficult one to pull off in a way that makes people feel like they got a fair deal.

To be fair to your point, I will admit that there is a certain level of elegance to:
Getting Kills earns you more salvage
Getting WP earns you more ISK payout

It's far easier to understand to new players, but again I just worry about properly balancing it such that all playstyles are equally represented.

I've spent the last day and a half reading all the material I've been missing. Been running side arm fits for fun until I figure out more things.

I wanted to ask, are the apex suits customizeable? Because the text says they are not, but I've read posts that say otherwise.

i would not like this 'payout' system...

earning 40% of the teams WP's earns you ISK
earning 40% of the ream's kills earns you more ISK that 40% of WP's

that one sounds more balanced

Wanted to play Dust today but I can't connect to the servers so f--k it, I guess i'll go d*ck around in Civ instead.

o/ Oswald! Yes, this is a recent change. They are presently restricted only by fitting capacity.

PS: You've been out for awhile, right? I'll link you up with all the patch notes ...

Odd. I've not had any problems logging on today, but I have had issues with Scotty randomly aborting my match searching and deployment.

Very cool and much oblige.

I have been out for a while, dropped out in the middle of 1.8, played inconsistently like 2-3 times in between, up until now I'll be playing a bit more though. My skills are definitely lacking, been running BP/NK on my fits. Definitely a lot of changes. I've read the scanning tables, which are ok, and the cloak is terrible, lol, though it was the OP cloak which made me leave dust, being tied to a singular under powered item is also a wet blanket.

Been reading the trello boards, (the fact CCP implemented that surprised me). I got a few ideas myself, otherwise I just need to get adequate again along with talk with you guys more on your opinions on the scout.

Im a little confused about what you mean exactly, could you rephrase it?

Read it twice. I don't follow.

My model -- which Pokey and Kaeru don't like -- is simple. If you are running a Balac's on an Assault mk.0 and I kill you, I get your Balac's, your Assault mk.0, and every thing you were running on it. Not Isk; the actual salvage.

I can pawn used gear through Jara to augment my income, trade it with other mercs, or keep it in inventory and use it myself.

mk.0 scouts would look for other scouts, resulting in knife duels as one end, no scout stabbing sentinel suits tht they will never use.
Sentinels would take on other sentinels, same with assaults.
Tanks would take on other vehicles.

Adipem it simply isn't balanced

fisters unite

Dunnno about melee, but nova knives sure work against vehicles now.
Ive carved up multiple LAVs now.
(and died from the vehicle explosion, mind you. but still got the destruction credit :)

had someone say they were booted from FW for meleeing a friendly tank. so dunno.
Haven't ran into any dumb tankers today, well outside the redline.
Will try tomorrow.


Edit: when coming out of cloak jumping while switching worked better than just trying to come out of it and shooting.
3 myofibs on min scout = able to shoot on the way down pretty much

Example

Team 1:

Total war points = 15,500
Total kills = 150
Total ISK destroyed = 20,550,000
Total
Player 1 earns 4,650 war points which is 30% of the team's total war points.
Player 1 gets awarded 30% of total ISK payment for war points category

Player 1 kills 5 people which is 3.33% of team's total kills
Player 1 gets awarded 3.33% of total ISK payment for kills category

Player 1 killed 4 scout ck.0 suits valued at 154,125 each which is 3% of total ISK destroyed.
Player 1 gets awarded 3% of total ISK payment for ISK destroyed category

Player 1 was a logi,
gets awarded 30% of (total war points*ISK per war point)
gets awarded 3.33% of (total kills*ISK per kill)
gets awarded 3% of (total ISK destroyed/2)

Player 2 earns 1,550 war points which is 10% of team's total war points
Player 2 earns 10% of total ISK payment for war points category

Player 2 kills 27 people which is 18% of team's total kills
Player 2 gets awarded 18% of total ISK payment for kills category

Player 2 killed 4,100,000 ISK worth of vehicles which is 20% of team's total ISK destroyed
Player 2 gets awarded 20% of total ISK destroyed category

Player 2 was a tanker
gets awarded 10% of (total war points*ISK per war point)
gets awarded 18% of (total kills*ISK per kill)
gets awarded 20% of (total ISK destroyed/2)



think about it...tankers spend ALOT on tanks, and he gets awarded great for it.
logi's just hold L1 and rep a slayer, they don't take risks and don't get rewarded as much.
slayers would get rewarded more OR less than logi's for killing AND earning war points
scouts would get less kills than slayers but more war points

@ Arkena I found a scraper for Worm on github. But nonetheless it also includes the whole mobi file as well.

I put a link up off shore under the books section (you don't even need to join as it is exposed to guests).

Still lookin for Pact! But looks like worm will keep me busy for a loong time!
