It can be insanely low.

I like this idea, promotes AMS. I suggest you get +5 c-bills and exp for every missile shot down. For example, if you had 2000 rounds of AMS and you shot down 2,000 missiles (perfect world I know), that equates to +10,000 c-bills and exp. This is not unreasonable. Thoughts?

[Sharknoms]

Hmm maybe would limit this to missiles targeting an ally next to you and call it guardian bonus or umbrella bonus (LOL)

Also, have a penalty for using ECM.

Lets say... a -1 multiplier on your earnings .

Why would they penalize you for using ecm something that plenty paid money for...Thats just stupid.

ECM itself is stupid the way it is, so it's only right.

AMS bonus, yes. It's been asked for a few times already. ECM penalty is obviously a joke.

I Think +1 C-bill per missile shot down is good, but +1 EXP is a bit too much, maybe .25-.5 EXP Rounded up to the nearest 1 would be more balanced?

It'd also give us a reason to take dual AMS on the Locust 3m.

I love it when people hijack a thread for their own agenda
How about you post your "cool" ecm ideas in an ECM thread, there's plenty of them for you to choose from

I'd say yes to a bonus but it would have to be miniscule or maybe even hard capped with a max amount of the rewards.
It's a place and forget system so other than dropping it in a mech and making sure you're positioned in a good spot on the battlefield there's not much a player really does.

Swarms of lrms would make for easy cbill accumulation so as long as it was very small and possibly capped I think it would be a great idea

I like this idea. Anything to help encourage more players to run AMS so that more matches have an "iron dome" to lessen the brutality of LRM boats.

When most everyone has an AMS, whether they be the plodding heavies or the lithe lights that are dogfighting the LRM boats, everyone is more protected as a single AMS isn't going to protect a mech from much of anything but 12 will. Naturally I don't expect mechwarriors outside of a PUG/"clan" (they need a new term for this) to spend 1.5 tons on something that doesn't really benefit them unless others do it as well, which is why I give my "upvote" to an incentive to help goad others into doing it as well.

It might be game breaking but I wouldn't mind the ability to shoot down missiles with other weapons.
