Davion has been pummeled on all sides over the past 2 months, and is currently being eaten by Liao. If "doing kinda ok" factions like Marik get an income boost, when will Davion get theirs?

I love spreadsheets from ComStar.

But can't understand why does Clan Wolf get a reduction? They are no way leading the invasion.

We are currently hosting honored guests. As such, our population has likely triggered this reward reduction.

Good, the FRR really needed another nerf. Y'know, having less than 6 planets isn't bad enough but apparently we need a few less too.

Seriously PGI, instead of basing rewards off population, base it off how many planets it has gained in a short amount of time etc. Rewards shouldn't be as high for factions doing very well with only a handful of people (Liao), while rewards shouldn't be as low for factions doing terrible with a bunch of people (Davion/Steiner.)

Rewards for Davion and Steiner still at rock bottom, even though we're being pummeled on all fronts for two months?

Carry on. It's beta. Hopefully you see the massive errors of this system for the next go-round and come up with something completely different.

What nerf? Rasalgue is better off without easy riders seeking easy fights. Besides your system is flawed - Clans would get the second best rewards after us, witch will lead to most possible overflow of mercs on their side.

Why won't they come to us? Because CW is a hard mode and fighting for FRR is pure insanity. Most of people out there seek easy victories.

Rewards are more the adequate.

It may not seem this way from your perspective, but I can tell you that a lot of the IS is coming to your defense right now and have been for a while.

pgi needs to count the players playing cw not the players that site in the pug ques and wear faction tags

Typical quality over quantity issue.
I am glad I am on the greener side.

*PS: Weren't you guys Davions. Notice the purple... Now that doesn't help.

It seems like these rewards are just changed on a whim.

Haha, it sures seems like it, doesn't it? I'm by no means an expert but I don't understand why Clan Wolf is now at 50,000 while Jade Falcon is at 75,000. Others have already commented on the other things that don't seem to add up, so I just figured I'd throw that one in there.

[Davers]

These regards don't seem to translate into how CW is working though. Kurita has the manpower to fight multiple factions, yet receives the max bonus rewards? Davion has no bonus rewards and loses consistently to all it's neighbours?

[Deathlike]

Sometimes I wonder what is the actual metric used to determine this. It almost feels it has more to do with the number of planets instead of the general activity (number of players) between the factions and occasionally factoring the skill of the groups involved.

Paul-ienomics ?

*It would be interesting the know the population pie chart though. At least.

PGI, it would be nice if Steiner and Davion ACTUALLY GOT REWARDS. They've been fighting for TWO MONTHS on so many fronts and we don't really have a lot of people, other than pugs, and most of the people who are Davion don't even play CW. Please change something.

Ahhh the bribery balance pendulum swings again

You forgot to include FRR.

I'm getting 150,000 C-Bills and 150 LP every match, it was boosted as well, but it is listed incorrectly on the OP.

I was getting 100,000 C-Bills and 100 LP only yesterday.

Did your premium time run out ?
