Unit mate played objective while we fought the enemy off.

She kills zero enemies but captured 13 points of data.
She never engaged the enemy because ECM Raven, sneaky.

As you can see, she got zero RP for playing the objective. I can get not giving a huge amount to avoid RP farming, but seriously? Not even 100 or 50 RP? Not even 25?

We're a small unit, we always die horribly in Invasion. We had hoped the 4v4 would give us a reason to partake in the Faction Warfare. This gives us zero reason, especially with the anemic rewards as a mercenary unit.

4v4 is supposed to be a gamemode that changes the fighting in Invasion it isn't supposed to have massive rewards

Zero reward for playing the game mode as intended? Zero RP? Not even 1 RP per captured point? Did you completely missread my post? I said I wasn't asking for a massive reward. Just SOME sort of incentive?

Faction fighting changes doesn't motivate small units to play exclusively scouting.

Screen shot shows them outside the dropship zone

Anything not in the zone counts as destroyed

Could that have caused the anti farm systems to trigger ?

If it's not something that can be worked around this needs to be fixed
It's a recon game mode after all

We all knew there would be some teething issues

I had just stepped into the zone, the game instantly ended, they were just outside of it. Perhaps that was it... we'll give it another go later... but the rules specifically state "one mech has to survive to win the round."

I honestly think you encountered a bug. Looks strange, see if it happens again

Mercs, not loyalists. Does that matter at that point?

We'll try again later. If it happens again then we'll report in. It might be difficult to recreate a match where she does no damage and only collects all the beacons.

playing the game mode should give rewards, seems like quite an oversight by PGI (but not surprising as all the game modes rewards are skewed towards just playing skirmish)
